You can also count on these pots and pans to brown burgers evenly and simmer a tomato sauce steadily. While you may think of nonstick as best for frying, you’ll also appreciate how rice doesn’t stick to the pots. Even the stickiest foods, like fried eggs and pancakes, fall out of the pan, leaving the surfaces virtually spotless, even when you don’t use butter. With this set, you’ll get the very best nonstick performance. Included: 8.5' skillet, deep 12' skillet with lid, 1.5- and 3-quart saucepans with lids, 4-quart saute pan with lid, 8-quart stockpot with lid

Read on for how to choose the right nonstick cookware set for you. Nonstick cookware sets offer easy cooking and cleanup, especially for new cooks in the kitchen, but the coatings don't last forever and some have concerns about their safety.Cookware made of stainless steel is pricey and grease splatters can be difficult to clean off. Any stainless cookware “worth its salt” will be either clad, meaning it has an interior core of aluminum that extends through the base and up the side, or will have a layer of aluminum in the bottom to give even heating. Stainless steel is prized for its beautiful appearance and durability.Aluminum cookware can’t be used on an induction burner unless it has a layer of stainless steel in the base. Some aluminum pans are hard-anodized, which means they’ve undergone an electrochemical process that strengthens and darkens the metal, protecting if from denting and stopping it from interacting with whatever you’re cooking. The vast majority of aluminum cookware has some kind of finish, either enamel or nonstick, to prevent this from happening and also make it easier to clean. However, when you cook directly in aluminum some of the metal leaches into your food, giving it a gray-ish cast. Aluminum is next-best at heat distribution.But copper is super pricey and requires a lot of upkeep if you want to maintain its bright, shiny finish.

Copper cookware heats the most evenly and is the most responsive (meaning, take your pan of hollandaise off the burner and it stops cooking immediately so there’s no danger it will curdle).
