Stainless steel pans used to have a deservedly poor reputation. Stainless is a terrible heat conductor, leaving hot spots in the pans and making heat control futile. But then came cladding, the process of making a stainless steel "sandwich" by layering stainless with a more conductive metal like copper, aluminum, or another alloy, followed by one more layer of stainless. Typically, the cladding is a minimum of three to five layers of stainless and other metals. Because of this process, the heat from the burner gets disbursed more evenly across the pan, alleviating hot spots, and the pans are more responsive to increases or decreases in temperature. While you can select the individual pieces you need for your kitchen, buying a set readies you for a variety of tasks and typically saves money. The sets we chose to test have, at a minimum, 10 pieces including lids. They consist of a fairly standard selection of two skillets, a sauté pan, a saucepan, and a stock pot, with some variation. From there, they vary in size, capacity, handle length and design, and weight. Learn which sets rated highest, plus what to look for in stainless steel cookware. Cons • The sauté pan handles are a little thin and make gripping slightly uncomfortable, and the internal rivets cause slight issues with stirring sauces. The Tramontina Gourmet set is ideal for cooks of all skill levels and is a good choice for all conventional heat sources, including induction. Some pieces like the sauté pan have a m...

This cookware set excelled in our tests. The pots and pans are infused with titanium, which makes them strong and practically nonstick, which can be one of the biggest pain points of stainless steel cookware, especially when it comes to cleaning. In our Lab tests, they barely required any elbow grease, and, in our home tests, testers found that soaking them for a bit makes them even easier to clean. Plus, they have flush rivets so food has even fewer areas to get stuck in. Their color deepens over time but can be brought back to like-new condition with the included Hestan cleaner. The 11-inch fry pan is our go-to for almost every meal. (We've been using it at home almost daily for the past three years and then some!) In our tests, it heated evenly and browned steak nicely on both sides with little staining. Like the rest of the pans, it's sturdy with a long handle and finger grip on the underside that helps balance the pan well. Plus, it has a wide surface area and shallow edges that make it great for sauteing. The other pieces in the set are useful as well with two saucepans that retain heat well. They cleaned up with a quick wash after our sauce scorching test. All pieces are oven-safe up to 1050ºF. While the Hestan Nanobond 10-Piece Cookware set may seem pricy at first glance, it's priced competitively with other high-end cookware. Goldilocks products are sold direct-to-consumer, so by eliminating the outside retailer they can sell top-quality cookware at a fraction of...

What’s more, the line’s As a 3-ply set, the All-Clad line is constructed from three different layers of bonded metal: stainless steel on the bottom, an aluminum core and, finally, another layer of stainless steel. It’s precisely because of this construction that the pans withstand and retain high heat so well. When I seared the turkey burgers, chic...
