If you’re specifically after a great nonstick set, the All-Clad HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set has your back. It passed our tests in style with a sleek black finish and shiny metal handles.

The handles are long enough to create a perfect balance with any pan, and thanks to the characteristic concave shape of All-Clad, it is very comfortable to hold. The pans are a bit heavier as they are well made from durable, strong hard anodized aluminum.

All-Clad also covers them with three layers of PFOA-free non-stick material, creating a smooth surface that facilitates the release of food. They work well too. The lid fits snugly on the pot and traps the steam inside to create some of the best rice in the test group. We were also impressed with how crispy our chicken skin was.

This set creates a hard burn that most non-sticks can’t touch. When it all comes together, this set becomes a clear choice for anyone who prefers non-stick materials. Our only major complaint was that the pans don’t nest very well, making storage difficult. This hard-anodized non-stick set certainly seems expensive at first glance, but with a wide variety of pots and pans, it’s worth every penny.

Included in the set:
8- and 10-inch frying pans, 2.5- and 3.5-quart pans with lids, 4-quart saute pan with lids, and 8-quart saucepan with lids

Material:
Hard anodized aluminum.

Features-

Compatible with all hobs, including induction, thanks to its durable stainless steel base against warping and oven safe up to 500°F.

Safety riveted stainless steel handles ensure a secure grip.

Durable, clear tempered glass lids help lock in moisture.

The set includes 8-inch and 10-inch sauté pans, 2.5-quart and 3.5-quart saucepans with lids, a 4-quart saute pan with lid, and an 8-quart pot with a lid.

How to choose the right set of dishes-

Tableware material

There are many different options when it comes to cookware material. Most sets contain different pots and pans from the same material, therefore, it is important to do your research before purchasing a set. The most popular materials are stainless steel, non-stick, aluminum, hard anodized, copper, and cast iron.

Each material has pros and cons. Stainless steel is often the most versatile cookware, but it is non-stick pans make it easy to cook things like eggs or even fish. Cast iron is great for roasting and cooking at high temperatures.

Copper is beautiful and a great heat conductor, but hard to keep clean and shiny. Carbon steel is another cookware material like cast iron, but lighter and becomes non-stick when seasoned.

Quantity- 
Not all cookware sets are created equal, and you’ll want to think seriously about the space you have in your kitchen and how often you cook. before you decide how many pieces you need. Sets can range from three pieces to 20.

If you are moving to a new house, getting married, or replacing all the dishes, a larger set may make sense. Keep in mind that in most cookware sets, the lids are counted as individual pieces. Large cookware sets can take up a lot of space, so keep that in mind when shopping.

Costs-
Sets can often save you the cost of buying each piece individually, but only if you use everything in the set. Costs can vary widely depending on the quality and material of the dishes. There are plenty of budget kits out there, but they may not last as long as an investment kit.

What is included in the set?
Some cookware sets only include pots and pans, while others include more specialized pieces of cookware or even items like spatulas or baking sheets. You’ll want a set that includes pieces you’ll use often. Most sets include an 8-, 10-, or 12-inch pan (or all three!), a pan, and bigger storage. Ladles, pots, and pans vary from there.

If you are cooking for a large family, larger cooking pieces may be more useful than if you are only cooking for one or two people.

Frequently asked questions about the best cookware set-

Is it cheaper to buy a complete set of dishes?

It depends, but it’s usually cheaper to buy a kit. Most kitchen and cookware brands offer a discount when you buy an entire set of pots and pans versus buying each piece separately. Our favorite set, the seven-piece All-Clad D3, would cost about $50 more if you bought every piece of cookware. individually.

The difference will vary depending on the brand and the specific kit, but you can expect to save some money when you buy a cohesive kit.

Is it better to buy a complete set of dishes?

While some prefer to manage their cookware collection piece by piece in some cases it makes sense, especially for experienced cooks who know exactly what they want from each piece. However, buying a complete set of dishes in one go has significant advantages. For one, you’ll save money (see above) because most brands offer a set discount versus buying each piece separately.

You also get the advantage of consistency and you will get to know the type of cookware faster – be it Teflon, ceramic, aluminum, cast iron, or stainless steel – with less time spent repositioning from pan to pan. Finally, there’s an aesthetic bonus as all your dishes will match whatever style you choose.

What is the best cookware material?

The most important decision you will make is what material your cookware set is made of. Cookware is usually made of aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, non-stick chemical compounds (Teflon), or a combination of several materials.

As you can guess, everyone the type of cookware surface has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to cooking, cleaning, durability, and storage. For example, aluminum cookware is cheap, but not very durable, and I wouldn’t recommend an all-aluminum set. Stainless Mr. Pans and pans stand up better to mishandling and won’t warp or dent like aluminum.

Stainless steel is also a slow conductor of heat, which is why steel pans often have a core made of a more conductive material such as aluminum or copper. For most people, stainless steel cookware with an aluminum core will be the best material composition for the set. Materials such as copper and cast iron have advantages, but also some serious pitfalls.

Cast iron and carbon steel are a bit heavy and require a bit more difficult to clean and care for, so you may not want the whole set. Copper cookware is also more demanding to care for and in general, it costs much more than its stainless steel counterparts. Non-stick is another popular option.

I recommend having at least one non-stick pan – either Teflon or ceramic – for eggs and more sticky foods. This means that you will never be able to burn food with a non-stick surface like you can with other materials, so keep that in mind. if you opt for a fully non-stick cookware set. They also don’t last as long because the non-stick coatings break down over time.

What size cookware set should you get?

You’ll also want to think about what specific pieces you need and how big a set to buy. If you already own a pot or small pan for example you love, you may want to look for a smaller set without them to save money.

You will probably want a 10-inch pan, pot, saucepan, and covered pan. The most common accessories to these basic four are larger and smaller pans and saucepans. Look carefully at what is included in each cookware set, as many brands count the lids as separate pieces and even count the small utensils such as spoons and spatulas as part of the set.

I’ve included some tips for smaller kits in case you’re just looking for pans and not a whole set of dishes and kaboodles.

What is the best cookware coating?

Then you have to consider the coating of the dishes. Do you prefer enameled cast iron to regular cast iron cookware? You will find cast iron too heavy and time-consuming to season and clean.

Non-stick pans with surfaces such as ceramic and Teflon make cleaning much easier, but the non-stick material wears out much faster than other materials and may not allow you to sear steaks and burgers like cast iron or stainless steel.

Other important considerations include the type of stove you have – not all cookware works on an induction hob, for example – and what you plan to cook regularly. Some dishes are dishwasher-safe, oven-safe, or both, while other sets require hand care or cannot withstand certain types of heat.
