Best Nonstick Cookware Sets

More often than not, we don't deal with only one cooking task in the kitchen and some pots might end up boiling over while we are preparing the ingredients. This Calphalon set offers a unique solution that will allow you to avoid messy spills and make your kitchen chores easier and safer. Along with pots and pans, you will get two inserts made of BPA-free silicone that are designed to redirect the boilovers, thus preventing the pot's contents from spilling over. Even if you are cooking pasta or beans, both the pot and the cooking surface will remain clean. What's even more important, the burner (if you are using a gas stove) will not be extinguished.

All you need to do is place the No-Boil-Over insert into the pot and make sure its rim is touching the pot's rim on all its sides. You won't need to remove it while stirring your dishes or adding more ingredients as the insert has an ergonomic opening in the center specially designed for this purpose. If necessary, the accessory can be easily removed thanks to its stay-cool handles.

When it comes to cookware, the material it is produced from makes a big difference. You probably want it to be food-safe, long-lasting, and heat-resistant. Even temperature distribution and a non-stick coating are also very important. The Rachael Ray nonstick cookware set is made of hard-anodized aluminum that is twice as hard as stainless steel. This durable material is highly appreciated for promoting even and fast heating and, as a result, thorough cooking of your meals.

What is not less important, the pots and skillets have a clear coat exterior that prevents food from sticking to them during cooking. As durable as it is, the items of the set are pretty lightweight so they are easy to carry around your kitchen. The pots and pans won't scratch your cooking surface, too.

The package also includes four shatter-resistant glass lids that will let you watch the dish while you are cooking it without opening the pan/pot, not to mention they will also help seal in moisture and heat.

All the pots and pans are equipped with heat-resistant silicone handles that are double-riveted for better durability. Red handles and accessories add a perfect contrast to the gray exterior of the cookware.

This stay-of-the-art T-fal set brings cooking to a whole new level. Made from hard-anodized aluminum for excellent heat retention, it has a reliable and durable Titanium reinforced interior that provides perfect food release. And that is only half the story.

The product boasts a patented Thermo Spot technology. It is known that one of the secrets of getting that yummy golden crust is the pan's surface temperature. Both pans in the set have a red spot in the middle that serves as a temperature indicator. When the surface is perfectly hot for cooking, the indicator turns solid red. Hence, making succulent steaks, grilled chicken nuggets, fried sausages and many other dishes will become an easy task.

The cookware is suitable both for electric and gas stovetops and can be used for cooking in the oven at a temperature lower than 400°F. All pieces have even heat bases so they will not scratch your stovetop surface. The only shortcoming of this set is that, unfortunately, it's not induction-compatible.

What sets this set apart is its brightly-colored and beautiful design. Each piece has a non-toxic die-cast aluminum body with a ceramic coating that ensures fast and even heating of food and prevents it from sticking to the cookware surface.

The set includes a couple of dutch oven pots, a casserole pot with lids, and a couple of frying pan skillets. Thoughtfully designed, the dishware has small gaps between the lids and pots to let the steam out during cooking. This helps prevent liquids from spilling on the cooking surface and extinguishing the burner. Speaking of the pans, they have a unique curved shape that allows you to easily flip pancakes, omeletes, pasta and other food ingredients without any sticking.

Regarding compatibility, the cookware can be used on all types of stovetops including induction tops and, with min and max dia making 8.1 and 10.1 inches accordingly, will fit most standard burners.

There are a few shortcomings too. One of them is that this set is not oven- or microwave-safe, so you should not use it for baking or re-heating food leftovers. Another one is that the material of the handles isn't resistant to high temperatures and can get pretty hot during cooking. The latter, though, can be easily solved by wearing a pair of oven mitts or protective gloves when handling the pots.

As for the maintenance, cleaning this non-stick cookware set is a piece of cake. All you will need is a little lukewarm water and some soap. Plus, the set is dishwasher-safe.

With the Farberware 10365, cooking will be a hustle-free and enjoyable process. This set has a reliable aluminum housing and is covered with a 2-layer copper ceramic coating which allows it to provide excellent heat conductivity and to speed up the cooking process on the whole. According to the manufacturer, the coating is also long-lasting and can ensure 90% better food release compared to other ceramic-coated cookware pieces available on the market. As a consequence, food ingredients, whether it be eggs, pancakes, meat, etc. will not get burnt, nor will they stick to the surface of the pots/pans. What's also convenient is that each piece has a flared rim that lets you pour food into a bowl without spills.

Speaking of compatibility, the set can be used on gas, electric, glass-ceramic and induction tops and is up to 350°F oven-safe. The included transparent lids with ergonomic knobs are shatter- and temperature- resistant, meaning they won't get broken if you accidentally drop it and can safely go in the oven too. The skillets, saucepans as well as a large pot (5qt) have comfy handles with grips to let you comfortably lift them once the meal is ready.
