T-Fal Performa Stainless Steel Cookware Set, 12 Piece

Estaba algo dudoso respecto a la calidad de la bateria por el precio y los comentarios, despues de usarla un par de meses, puedo decir que es muy buena bateria, los materiales son de muy buena calidad, se siente desde las asas hasta las tapas, respecto a si se pega o no, claro que se pega un poco, ya que no tiene teflon (a mi gusto, el teflon hace mas daño por los contaminantes hacia la comida) entonces si dejas requemar algo, logico que se pegará, hay varios videos en youtube donde te dicen como debes cocinar con este tipo de ollas, nunca debes Freir por ejemplo a la maxima temperatura de la estufa, se calienta facilmente y siempre cocino a temeperatura media, a menos que quiera hervir algun liquido. En general es muy buena opcion para cambiar tu vieja y contaminante bateria de cocina y comenzar a cocinar mas sano y mas rapido a un excelente precio!

I bought this stainless steel set to replace a ceramic set that had chipped terribly in the two years I owned it. In the hope of this set lasting longer than two years I’m taking very good care of it, only using silicone, nylon, and wood utensils, cooking at medium to low heat, washing and drying them by hand immediately after use, storing them so they are not stacked on top of one another. The raised edges on the pan are not as helpful as I had hoped and seem to facilitate sticking of food rather than prevent it as advertised. Other than this The pans perform as expected. The key to cooking success seems to be adding half a teaspoon of oil to the pan before cooking. Still, even with oil I wasn’t able to make eggs without them sticking to the raised grid on the frying pan. I’ve decided to use my electric skillet for eggs and bacon (which also leaves a terrible mess in the pan) moving forward. These pans work great for stir frying or making a roux. They are more work to clean. They have the tendency to develop a heat tint (blue stains in the pan) but a spritz of vinegar and rub with a paper towel will quickly remove it. Cleaning with water and baking soda will scratch these pans. I knew more or less what I was getting into when I bought these pans so I’m not surprised by the challenges I’ve encountered. I bought them for durability not for ease of care. I would choose stainless steel again, but would not choose a set with the raised edges in the pan.

After 10 months of use.

We use the saucepans daily. They are sturdy, heat evenly, and feel very substantial in our hands. Anything that gets stuck to the bottom cones off with light scrubbing. If there are no bits burned into the bottom, the dishwasher gets them spotless.

The bottoms of the frying pans, however, have dozens of raised spots. I am not sure why they are there, but they are extremely difficult to clean.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE ONES!! i did a lot of research and these were the ones i went with. i am so very happy with my purchase. I had some older paula dean copper stainless steel ones and they barely lasted a few uses. These have already gone above an beyond. i am having trouble cooking eggs in them as i was still using the skillets that had the Teflon coating on them. hoping i get better at it. i do have to watch my heat with these as i am used to the other type of pans that can be used on high heat and not get hot so fast! however, it is very nice boiling water and BOOM it is super hot and boiling so much faster than usual!! i would have liked a 12″ skillet as well but in time i will have to buy one separately. otherwise, a great find! i got the one with the rubber on the handle. i debated for a while before ordering. i am glad that i went with that because the other ones without it were the same angle handle and it would be awkward feeling with out that rubber there. also helps with the heat on the handles. The stockpot does not have the rubber and can also go in the oven, though i have not done that. i use my dutch oven for that stuff. All in all i would highly recommend and would buy T-fal Stainless steel products again.

I purchased these after several sets, like copper etc. I have owned tfal before and still use them, though not specifically for induction, when I opened the box they looked great, but felt light, like maybe they were cheap, then i stated flipping them and said, well they’re easy to use, then I put them on the panel WOW no noise or vibration like my other brands and HEATED up right now! Great pans, so happy I did read a review that talked about seasoning of this pan, don’t waste your time! I baked the oil on, thought I ruined them but a little scrub, and they were clean also i noticed they got burn stained and was like well I guess ill have to scrub them all the time, NOPE put in dishwasher, and they were clean! I cant say enough about these pans I’m back to enjoying cooking again, your results may differ, but I’m not a chef, but I’ve spent a lot on others trying to find a nice one and at a normal price, I tried and succeeded here!

Honestamente no he probado mejores ollas y sartenes que las tfal en lo que se refiere relacion calidad/precio/versatilidad soy cocinero de profesion
y he probado infinidad de sartenes y ollas! de todas clases, colores y sabores y en verdad que en lo que se refiere a durabilidad precio y utilidad tfal entrega estas 3s todo el tiempo, me gustaron muchos estas de acero inoxidable 18/10 (standar aliacion del acero) son pesadas y bien hechas con los mango ribeteados y largos por lo que se calientan mucho menos de el mismo,, vienen con tricapa, de muy buena calidad y con una tecnologia antihaderente para los sartenes. y con tabla de medicion para la olla holandesa y las salseras, un juego de cucharas medidoras igual en acero como extra del set en verdad excelente!
como consejo de cocinero hay que saber usar los sartenes de acero, pues indudablemente si no se sabe manejar las cosas se pegaran, incluso a un que se sepa hacerlo los alimentos se pegan solo un poco, claro! cuestion de nada , es por eso que usamos el famoso desglase para lo caramelizado que se le queda en la sarten,mas sin embargo solo es cuestion de practica para saber utilizarlos y claro los alimentos son mas limpios (respecto a sabor y a limpieza de quimicos que pudieran tener otros materiales como el teflon o el peltre (PFOA)) otra ventaja importante sobre otros materiales es que el acero se calienta rapidisimo, por lo que gastaras menos gas y si eres diestro tendras tus comidas en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, aqui en mexico no acostumbramos las maquinas de lavavajillas pero de igual manera este set viene listo para usarse con ello, asi como tambien preparado para meterse al horno hasta 500F” para terminar platillos que asi lo requieran, un excelente extra.

PROS
BONITA, BUENA MARCA, BUEN PRECIO PESADAS Y GRUESAS TE DURARAN POR LO MENOS UNOS 10 ANOS, CALCULO POR LA CALIDAD, ACERO 18/10 AHORRO DE GAS.SE PUEDEN USAR EN EL HORNO CON TODA TRANQUILIDAD.

CONTRAS
SI NO SE SABE USAR SE PEGA PESADILLA PARA LAS PERSONAS PRACTICAS AL SER ACERO POR COMPLETO SE PUEDEN LLEGAR A CALENTAR LOS MANGOS, Y LLEGAR A QUEMAR
SI SE QUIEREN SIEMPRE BRILLANTES HAY QUE LAVAR CON VINAGRE Y/O CARBONATO

CONCLUSION
Es un excelente set y a un inmejorable precio, te duraran muchos anos y perfecto para cambiar tus viejas sartenes y ollas de teflon o similares que son daninos para la salud a ciertas temperaturas pero se tiene que aprender a usarse tal vez no a todos les agrade esto, y honestamente si eres mas practico y no es lo tuyo la cocina te recomiendo ampliamente unos antihaderentes de buena marca en vez de estos que sin problemas te serviran mejor y no te sacaran corajes ni canas pues nada se les pega y son mas del dia a dia, sin embargo si lo que quieres es mas limpieza a la hora de cocinar, mejores acabados en tus platillos, mas profesionales, unas ollas resistentes y de batallas estos son imperdibles y en este caso Lo recomiendo a plenitud sin objeción alguna.
Gracias por leer mi review, espero les sea de utilidad un abrazo y saludos.
