Crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, each piece features a multi-layer base consisting of a thick-gauge aluminum core encapsulated between stainless steel, which serves to distribute heat evenly, eliminate hot spots, and prevent warping. The cookware's brushed and polished stainless-steel exteriors offer enhanced visual appeal, and the pieces can be used on all stovetop surfaces, including induction. Long stainless-steel handles on the pots and pans are riveted for strength, curved to minimize heat transfer, and offer hanging holes for convenient storage. The Dutch oven offers side loop handles for easy lifting and carrying. The cookware also provides glass lids that come with stainless-steel loop handles and that help trap in heat, moisture, and nutrients when cooking, plus make it possible to check on food at a glance without letting heat escape. Another thoughtful detail includes interior measuring marks that come etched into the wall of the saucepans. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F, the cookware cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

This review is from: T-Fal Elegance Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I hesitated before I purchased this set because some of the reviews were not favorable. Some of the reviews were a total 5, so I wondered how there could be such a huge gap between the purchaser's reviews. A little homework answered the question.
This is a beautiful set, and if handled ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS, should stay in beautiful shape. One of the reviewers stated that her cookware turned blue after being put into the dishwasher. The directions distinctly state that this is a normal condition for stainless steel and can be remedied by wiping lemon juice or vinegar over the pot/pan. It works; just as stated. Another reviewer stated that her pan warped. This happens when the heat is too high. Instructions fully state that one should not use this cookware on HIGH. It does not take much heat to allow the food to cook. There is an aluminum disk inserted in the bottom to conduct the heat. Aluminum DOES warp and melt under extremely high conditions. One reviewer stated that the steel could be bent with her fingers. Perhaps she had a defective piece, as there is NO WAY I could do such a thing. I hand quilt everyday and am a professional seamstress. I have a lot of strength in my fingers; but still, it is an impossibility to bend this steel. Granted, the cookware is not a professional HEAVY weight, but it is a cookware that is bit weighty, but easy to handle, and light enough to produce quick heat. Last night I fried salmon patties, and the pan cleaned up nicely. I used a little BonAmi, which is similar to Bartender's Secret, which is recommended by the manufacturer. I have cooked chili, boiled pasta, steamed veggies...all to success and my cookware looks new. Although I cook everyday, I did not want to continue with my non-stick cookware. I thought it would be a good idea to purchase a reasonably priced stainless set to get used to cooking with stainless; eventually moving up to a more pricey set if necessary. At this point, I do not think I will need to move up to a more pricey set, but will purchase additional pieces of the T-fal Elegance, including the chicken fryer and the 3 qt. pot/lid. I did already purchase the 12.5 saute pan and it is very useful. I love this set and think the price does not speak for it's excellence. It is a LOT of value for the money.

good induction set,
By potlicker "potlicker" (Fla USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: T-Fal Elegance Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I like this set. It is very good quality for the price. I bought it because it is induction usable--it does not say that in the ad, but I had seen this in a store and bought a single pan to test.
The lids are very nice fitting, with a hole in them. I wish the lids fit the pans too, but they do not. This is not super thick steel for many reasons. Reasons include heavy weight, a pan that will not cool down (especially critical for induction), handles stay cool if thinner, and cost. I do not find any of the items flimsy at all. It is somewhat thin feeling but very amply sturdy. It does not bend on me at all--even trying. I did not try a hammer on it, but do not find a reason to. I think this is a good deal for what you get.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: T-Fal Elegance Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I wanted to get away from aluminum and coated cookware and decided to give this a try. My concern was that it would burn and stick and be difficult to clean as was inexpensive stainless cookware I have tried in the past. I saw it at my local WalMart and was impressed with it's quality and weight. Also their price was $36 higher! I have been surprised at how little sticking happens and have had no burning to the bottom or hard to clean experiences. The heat transfer is so efficient I can cook at lower temperatures. I can see how this set will last me the rest of my life.
