T-fal Initiatives 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set - Black

So this T-fal cookware set is basically your starter pack for a functional kitchen without spending a fortune. You get 10 pieces total: three different sized saut?? pans (8-inch, 9.5-inch, and 11-inch), two saucepans with lids (1-quart and 2-quart), a decently sized 5-quart Dutch oven with its own lid (perfect for pasta or soup), and even a steamer insert. The big selling point is that EVERYTHING is nonstick, both inside and out. This makes cleanup an absolute breeze - stuff just slides right off, and you can even toss it all in the dishwasher. The handles are plastic and designed to stay cool on the stovetop, which is great if you have kids around or just hate burning your hands. They're also oven-safe up to 350??F. The tempered glass lids are vented so you can control steam, and the bases are designed to resist warping for even heating. For a budget-friendly set, it looks pretty sleek in all black and gray. It's not heirloom quality, but for everyday cooking for a small family or a first apartment, it gets the job done well. I've had mine for about a year, using it almost daily, and the nonstick coating is still holding up strong. Definitely a solid value.
