Construction & Quality
The aluminum steel construction provides the durability and quality that makes this set stand above others in its category. The heavy gauge aluminum construction insures that this beautiful set will be around for years to come.
The nonstick interior insures that you won’t have to be concerned with food sticking to your plate and makes for an easy cleanup.
Each pan has a comfortable stay cool handle that facilitates easy and safe handling while cooking.
Use
There are very few limitations on how you can use this set in your kitchen. The oven safe range is 350 ° F, but other than that, you can use your set to cook in ways that are only limited by your creativity and imagination. You can sauté, bake, fry, broil and boil. A nice feature of this set is the T-fal Thermo-spot that will show you when the pan is hot and ready for cooking.
Cleaning and maintenance
As with all nonstick cookware, you need to be careful how you clean this. Do not scrape it with metal or even plastic utensils. The set is listed to be dishwasher safe, however I would be hesitant to do put a nonstick set in the dishwasher. Rather just clean it by hand with warm soapy water. A nylon sponge is ideal for both the interior and exterior of the pan.
Value for money
There are some rather pricey cookware set on the market that can cost as much as $1,000 or more. These sets have some extraordinary features that are quite appealing; however, the price is quite exorbitant to the average family. However, this cookware set is a viable alternative to those higher priced cookware sets that can be as much as 10 to 15 times more expensive.
What others think about it
This is a highly rated cookware set. At the time of writing this article, this set scores 4.5 out 5 from 159 reviews. 142 of the reviewers (that is a solid 89%!!!) gave this set a score of 4 or 5 out of 5. Some users have commented that the pots are perhaps a bit small, but in general users comment on how well it is made, good price and ease of cleaning. Many of course also commented how much they like the heat indicator that lets you know when the pan is hot enough to be used.
The bottom line
One of the things that I personally pay close attention to is value; meaning that a product presents a quality, usefulness, and dependability that justifies its cost. There is no doubt that the T-Fal Signature Total Non-Stick 12 Piece Cookware Set is worth its price. In fact there are several features that would sustain a higher price. When it comes to cookware sets under $100 dollars this set stands among the elite. This set is probably best for single persons who are looking for an affordable yet well made cookware set.
