Customer Reviews for Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Clad 12-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set

I’ve had this set for about six months now and I mainly use the pots and the two smaller fry pans. The pots are fine, but the fry pans are a bit of a disappointment as everything I make in them sticks to the pan no matter how much butter or oil you use. I was hoping that after some time of usage they would become nonstick. I can’t even fry an egg in these frying pans because they stick so bad. I wish I could return them.

I have used this set for a year now. Coming f et om the culinary world I know cookware. This Tramotina tri clad is as nice or nicer than professional restaurant equipment I have used. Worth every penny,this is outstanding lifetime cookware.7 stars on this set

Love how well my food cooked. Early cleaning because the food doesn’t stick to the pan.

I bought these this time last year and I love them. You may not be happy with these if you prefer to pay $1000s for the same set.

Started using and looks great. Only thing is that it did leave discoloration in the pan on The first use after making some fried rice even though I used medium heat. Should cleanup with a Bar Keepers, but really wish it would have cleaned up with sponge.

I was concerned about buying these pans because of the reviews about food sticking to them, mainly eggs. However, the pans were rated highly and they were one of the top two sets of pans rated by Consumer Reports; the other set being more than twice the price. I did some research on how to cook with stainless steel pans and decided that the complaints about food sticking were most likely due to improper cooking techniques. I decided to take the plunge and order them. The picture attached shows my pan after cooking eggs. (It is not washed in the picture so you can see a little butter residue but you can also see that nowhere in the pan is there egg residue stuck to the pan.) The pans are heavy duty and provide for even cooking throughout the pan. I would suggest that anyone purchasing stainless steel pans, regardless of purchasing this set or any other, watch the YouTube videos on how to cook with stainless steel. Also, research the different kinds of stainless steel pans and I am sure you will find that the construction of these pans is of high quality and the price is unbeatable for the quality of the pans. Key points when cooking with stainless steel: Heat the pans prior to adding oil; use the water test to determine when to add oil/butter (watch videos on YouTube to learn about this); use only low to medium heat. While these pans are dishwasher safe, I would highly recommend hand washing and drying them right away to keep the shine and prevent any damage that can occur from chemicals in dishwasher detergents. I find comfort in knowing that I am cooking with a high quality pan and not with pans that could possibly emit carcinogens into the food that I am cooking.

These are good quality heavy duty pots and pans! I'm used to using cheap nonstick sets and these hold heat so much better. I've had these for a few months now and they look and work great. They still look shiny and new. I wasn't sure if I would need this many pieces but I use them all regularly. I am very happy with this set.

I am new to triply clad cookware but have found it wonderful to cook and and easy to clean up! I am thrilled with my set and am happy to be able to supplement my set with other pieces to round it out.

I am disappointed that discoloration in the metal (inside) occurs with the very first, and very normal, use.

I have had this cookware set for about 9 months now, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! There is a learning curve if you've never cooked with SS, but the main idea is to get your pans hot before adding the food. I put a thermometer in my pans to make sure they are hot enough to "close the pores", therefore preventing food from sticking. It still happens sometimes, but adding some hot water to the lab and boiling it is the easiest way to remove any stuck on mess. Using Barkeeper's Friend occasionally will brighten it up too and make it look brand new again.

This review is for TRAMONINA GOURMET TRIPLYCLAD, 10-piece premium stainless steel cookware set manufactured in Brazil and carrying product no. 80116/248DS. I am impressed with the gleaming exterior appearances of the pans and lids for this set. This exterior appearance is easy to maintain, the pans cleaning up very well. Another immediate positive impression is the comfort of the handles, both for the pans and the lids. Functionally, the pans deliver by cooking nicely, heating very evenly compared to any cookware that I have used in the past. During use, I followed the manufacturer's instructions by cooking at only low to medium heat. The manufacturer warns of potential for difficult cleaning and discoloration if high heat is used. A warning is also included for the potential of superficial pitting if very salty or acidic food is allowed to remain in the pans a long time after cooking. One thing that has happened in use as a result of use at low and medium heat is that several of the pans have discolored on the inside (sort of a rainbow effect) , a change that is not affecting the cooking performance. The pans and lids are not overly heavy, but are substantially heavier than our old Farberware pans that they replace. All have very flat bottoms that work well with our electric resistance smooth cooktop. This set is suitable for induction heating and for use in ovens at up to 500 degrees F. A lifetime warranty is included. I was surprised at the low price for this high-quality set, a bargain from my viewpoint.

I have had these pots and pans for almost a year now and I expect it to last many more. I settled on Tramontina after a lot of research, and while I am no expert myself I can see why so many say it performs at a much higher quality range than its middle-range would suggest. It was my first time trying stainless steel, too -- there is certainly a learning curve to it, I use them for almost everything now. Not only are they easy to clean, but virtually indestructible and free of the infamous forever chemicals. Highly recommend!

Happy to find it was manufactured in Brazil!

I like the look and feel of this cookware set -- very sleek. I've only used them a few weeks so far and have overall enjoyed my experience. It's my first time using stainless steel so I expect a learning curve. (I've had success with eggs most of the time!) The pots and pans aren't so heavy that I feel uncomfortable using them, but do feel hefty enough that I'm confident they are retaining heat and providing a good cooking experience. My reason for the 4 stars is that if I turn my burners up all the way (which I do when I boil water) there is an awful high-pitched "squealing" noise that occurs where the lid meets the pot/pan, due to rapid vibration. I can't boil water using that highest setting because the noise is awful.

Terrible pots and pans. They are impossible to clean. Oil/fat sticks to them and when it dries it is sticky and stuck! They burn easily and each cleaning takes a very long time with several products. We have only used them for a few weeks but are considering discarding them, at least the frying pans.

We’ve only had it for a couple weeks, but so far so good. It does slightly stain on the interior, but that does not seem to affect the cooking at all.

Fantastic! Great quality!

Excellent well-designed, should last a life time. Great purchase

Very simple: Tamontina is the best cookware except por the tev hevu "le Creuset ware, which by price and purpose is in a different category. But I am old and the weight of the paller si by now a drawback

We purchased these pans a few months ago. After using once, they became discolored. I went back to look at the reviews and decided I wasn’t done with the quite yet and SO GLAD I kept them. After using, I decided to try using Bar Keepers Friend for stainless sinks and items. The pots and pans came clean immediately, with no elbow grease to speak of. They look wonderful and cook wonderfully and we’re so happy now with the purchase.

I bought the 8 pieces back in 2010. The set has held up beautifully Even cooking , easy to clean, Handles great! I first saw these pans on PBS show American Test Kitchen. They were doing a review to pots and pans.

Have been cooking for a month now and not overly excited in keeping the ten piece set though I wish I were. I’m not happy with the edge of the pot. My fingers have been cut when cleaning. Very hard cleaning they never look clean. They’re pitted cooking with them is a challenge too. I have an electric glass top stove and they seem like they scratch my glass top and adjusting the heat is challenging as well. I do have good things to say about this 10 piece set. I love the handles. I love the size of the 10 piece set a 6 quart stock pot is a great feature and the Dutch oven is a wonderful size as well. But I need to return them.

These are amazing! They cook so evenly and are easy to clean. Wish I would’ve made the decision to purchase sooner. We refreshed our cookware with these and other Tramontina items. We love them

Bought a set for Christmas. It is exactly as advertised, they are beautiful, easy to clean, temperature is even throughout. Totally give a 10/10 stars!
