Great for storage as handle detaches, Work well on induction hob, clean looking, nonstick seems good, only negative issue was only 2 handles, for entire set, but these are available to purchase separately, A good pan se
Great range of sizes and works well with my induction hob. The handle is easy to use and best thing is the space it saves.
I am really pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended. I am saving a lot of space in my kitchen and love cooking with these pots and pans. Amazing quality, smooth transaction and prompt delivery. Thank you!
Being able to take the handles off is so handy. It’s a really space saver. Never had stainless steel before, it feel like they head up faster, but that could be just me.
Its nice. I like that you can easily store all of them but… i wish i had more covers for the pots
One removable handle broke immediately after we received this purchase. Also one of the pan’s surfaces got off
Store away do easy and perfect for small tight spaces. Really good design the handles I love, the pots are really easy to clean. Downside is the price but then I’ve had some shoddy pots over the years. So I’m more than happy with them
Grate set of pans love the lids and covers blown away with the removable handle. Addition of a 28cm sanity pan with glass lid whould be a great use
I like that they save space in my cupboard. Frying pans are so easy to clean. Although they are supposed to be dishwasher safe, I have decided hand wash in the hope that they will last longer. I do put the saucepans in the dishwasher, but they cleaned easily by hand too with a short soak. All seem good sturdy pans and the handle is easy to use and sturdy. You have to get used to not leaving the handle on the pan all the time it’s on the hob. Just attach it when needed. Had a couple of boil over incidents until I got used to this.
I don’t like that the handle is difficult to clean, as it’s not dishwasher safe and can’t be submerged in water, making it difficult to remove unavoidable splatters from hard to reach places.
Would have benefitted from a lidded saute pan to complete the set, but this can be bought separately.
Overall a good quality product.
Love these pans. Great quality easy to clean and take up so little space. All round great but – especially as I got them reduced in Black Friday sale ., would have paid full price though as they are fab !!!!!
Easy to store, easy to clean, versatile and all round brilliant. Ingenio – Genius! I bought these to replace some tired, old, non-stick saucepans that had come to the end of their useful life. I’d used a set of Ingenio pans in a holiday let a year or two back, and was so impressed I knew exactly what I wanted when the time came to buy new. Would recommend to anyone; from hob, to oven, to fridge … the fridg-lids are a brilliant idea.
Had to replace my 30yr old pans after buying an induction hob. Did lots of research and these were recommended and now I can see why. Good weight, excellent finish, easy to clean and good even heat distribution.
Easy to clean, value for money, stainless steel pots made with good quality materials, recommended!
I saw these and was immediately interested. This version of ingenio is fine on induction hobs (not all are). The actual pans feel sturdy and we’ll put together, are dishwasher safe and the space saving design is perfect for small kitchens. Love the ability to cook on a stove then just chuck the pan into the oven (minus the handle). Also, can fit them so much easier in the dishwasher than normal pans as well
I have wasted a lot of money on pans for my induction hob, mostly because they had aluminium rivets which eventually disintegrate. These are brilliant pans, very sturdy and lids are very good too. With a small kitchen the fact that everything stacks into the largest pan is a fantastic space-saving.
These were bought as a present for someone with a small kitchen space. She loves the fact they all store inside one another, go in the dishwasher, WITHOUT THE HANDLES, and are a good sturdy weight for cooking with.
Arrived in box brand new. All parts were included.
Really easy to use the handle and they look great stacked in the cupboard – definitely space saving. Very happy!
The son in law loves them and has ordered extras to go with them
They stack well and more importantly they go from cooking to the fridge to the table without having to transfer the food from other containers. great set of pans
Love these pans, well made, good quality and don’t stain the way some reviews have mentioned. I like the volume markers inside and they work well with my induction hob. They heat up fast and evenly. The handle works well, not flimsy or mechanically in stable like some people seem worried about. I like the way you can stack the pans for space saving. Highly recommend, but make sure you buy the lids and a spare handle as well. .
Work great with our induction hob, easy to clean and would recommend them to anyone with an induction hob.
The extra parts like the pot lids don’t get used often but great to have when transporting food or keeping in the fridge.
When you feel the quality you realise why they are expensive.Quality shines through and I have never had an issue with a Tefal product ever.
The whole lot nests together and only takes up the footprint of the frying pan which is why I purchased them as I’m tight on storage space and no sticking out handles wasting space either.
They are saving me money on electric as to fry or get water boiling I don’t need to have the hob on any higher than 4. The fact they can be used in the oven is saving me more space in oven dishes. I’ve used them in the oven umpteen times with no issues. I use the big frying pan for my roast potatoes. As it’s non sticking no more grizzly oven tray to scrub.
Don’t be put off by bad reviews. They are not fake. It clearly states on the box made in France Except uncoated metal pans and glass lids. The frying pans and handles are made in France.A fair amount of issue is people not reading instructions properly. The food sticks well with the exception of the frying pans the 3 saucepans don’t claim to be non stick. I’ve never had a problem with sticking but it may be the heat is too high? Tefal offers plenty of non stick coated options in this range. Another issue seems to be the handles. You cannot immerse them. They have mechanical parts inside. What’s the obsession with having to wash the handles? Food doesn’t really touch the handles so a wipe is sufficient. You use the toilet flush and door handles multiple times a day and they aren’t removable a wipe with a cloth or disinfectant wipe is sufficient. Failure in the handles can be caused by overheating. Basically when it’s on the hob remove the handle then click back on before moving or dishing up takes a little getting used to but so does any new concept. Leaving the handle on the pan during cooking overheats it. Again it Clearly states in the instructions. If it’s a deal breaker send them back before you use them.
My last point is the rainbow marking in the bottom of the uncoated pans. This isn’t unique to Tefal as I have experienced this with other stainless steel cookware. I believe it is to do with the reaction of the metal with certain water types and whilst somewhat unsightly it’s completely harmless and can be removed.
If I’m being really picky my only complaint is the instructions are not particularly comprehensive. It tells you the rainbow markings can be removed with vinegar or lemon juice but doesn’t provide the method to use. Also I would have liked the option of a 14 cm milk pan. Other than that I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend.
Good quality pans. Quite small. Heavy. Love the handle. Only downside is that no lids.
Love everything about this set! Wish it had been available years ago. Very space saving and well made so should last for years. Would recommend buying extra handles.
Great set of pans, stainless steel is a much better option than the non-stick ones we had previously.
Although pan sizes are slightly smaller.
Not having handles sticking out when cooking, a bonus when working with people with disabilities.
Love the handles for the pans so easy to use.
I have so much more storage space.
Easy to clean.
I never thought I could get so excited about a set of pans
Really pleased with my new set and easy to use with the handle and great for putting on Gas hob also once on the hob you can remove handle until you need to use it agai
Very pleased with this set of pans. Not only do they stack easily, creating space in the cupboard, they are great to use. Highly recommend them!
I’ve needed new pans for ages. These keep catching my eye as very limited on space. Good ideas, smart design and good selection. Would have liked a larger pan and a milk pan. Love double up as fridge bowls saving further on storage space. Mine water stained straight off to my distain – had hoped for the lovely finish to last. Guess could oil them a little. Their very expensive in my opinion, fair to say a good set is and also that they last. Just such an expensive item. I got them in pre Xmas reductions figured probably not get so much off them until next Xmas. Became my Xmas gift from household (although, kids didn’t put anything in towards them,… Well) new home too, so double excuse to treat big.
One of the handles doesn’t work anymore can I get a replacement handle?
On the whole I am very pleased with the set.
Absolutely love this pan set, love that the handle comes off as it makes storage easier. Highly recommend
I waited for months to get this set in the sale, the quality is amazing and they are a joy to cook with.
Easy to store, No dangerous overhanging handles when cooking. Work really well on an induction hob.
Brought these as a Christmas present from my parents as due to be moving out. They came nicely boxed and separated to minimise scratches etc and I can’t wait to use them. Who knew a 24 year old could get excited over pots and pans especially the clicky handles which will be great when moving into a property with minimal storage!
This Pans have saved my life, I dont have to wait for the pans to get warm to start cooking, saved loads of time on my day to day cooking!! Great value for money, got loads of storage space! Would highly recommend!
Very pleased with the purchase. Great spacesaving pans. Do the job well
Using it all the time
Perfect for
Storage and my induction hob
Excellent product so easy to store, saves space. Handle is strong, easy to keep clean no scrubbing
Very nice. Easy to use. Easy to clean. None stick pans.
very nice material and design, easy to clean and store
We have had the Ingenious non stick pans for along time, but the nonstick was wearing off, so,decided to take the plunge and ordered these stainless steel pans. They are without doubt better than the non stick variety , easy to clean, Iuse bicarbonate of soda and it does not scratch the surfaces.
We have l8mited space in our compact kitchen, but this set of pans allows us to have a wide range of sizes. The fact that they go from hob to oven, saves on casserole dishes. This set also includes a set of plastic lids, which we have used, very useful if you make double quantity and need to freeze, keeps the food fresh in the fridge.
All in all I love this set and would not hesitate in recommending them.
I love the system and the size of this pack. Very daily usage on these and super easy to clean and store.
As always fantastic love Tefal, for me definitely value for money I use the every day. You can use them on any cooker type ie. Gas, Electric and Induction.
good morning tefal, I purchased the tefal set one year ago and sadly yesterday one of the handles in the set stop working, in the sense that it does not grip properly the pots. as a result, I dropped all hot food cooking on the floor all over.. luckily I did not get hurt or anything. I am not entirely sure why this had happened and I would leave it to tefal to investigate. any products of any types have sometimes single faulty units.. I just would like a new handle please otherwise I can’t use my pots and pans (they all need a handle grip). I am available to make a quick video to show the handle (in absolutely perfect conditions) not gripping the pans properly. also I am available to send over the handle back for inspection. I bought some velvet pans dividers too, and so all pans and pots are in perfect conditions. this is to say that everything had been treated correctly. frankly Im happy with the set apart from the handle episode.. Id recommend everyone to get the set and hopefully customer service here will address this for me too.
thanks in advance
I hate storing pots and pans, the handles make then just really annoying to store, I have spent money and time trying to store them better. These pans store so nicely, they also fit in my tiny dish washer without any problems. These where a really splurge for me, I realize that this is a really good price for a pots and pan set, but I am very budget conscious, but they where well worth it.
Very pleased with this purchase. I was under the mistaken impression that the saucepans would be non-stick, but they aren’t. However, they are easy to clean and a dream to store tidily as they nest inside each other. I was very lucky to get them at Black Friday price, I think half the original price. Happy Bunny!
Really good pans. The removable handles are a great idea as they make it much easier to store them.
Fantastic for storage and easy to clean and above all looks amazing. Only kidding – the storage and easy to clean and use of multiple heat sources (including induction) was good enough.
I think this is great but a little on the expensive side and would have liked a large 32cm wok to be included in the pack (with a lid) and one extra handle.
You won’t regret buying this but do note that all the saucepans and frying pans are on the smaller side.
Bought these during prime day and couldn’t be happier with them. I’m not sure I would have ever paid full price as it just seemed a bit much for pots and pans but now that we have them and love them I wouldn’t hesitate in the future. These are everything we hoped for. Great quality, so much easier to store, tidier in the cupboard and love being able to remove the handle so they can be put in the oven or the dishwasher. A real game changer in our kitchen and thrilled that we got them for such a good price on prime day, makes it all that more enjoyable.
I brought these saucepans on a prime day offer… I was not disappointed. They are solid, beautifully made saucepans and the frying pan’s are equally as good!
Bought it for my mom’s, she love it a lot…
we trashed all our other pans for these, very good, high quality and easy to use, store and clean…
it is the basics for small family
Brilliant pans! Brought these as we don’t have much cupboard space. They work very well on our aeg induction hob. They stack perfectly in our cupboard saving so much space and they feel a good quality too. We use all the pans regularly and so far they are all in near perfect condition. We wash our pans by hand rather than in the dishwasher and they always clean up well. Slight discolouration to the inside of stainless pans but what is expected after lots of use and can be cleaned up to almost barely visible with ThePinkStuff. Overall for the price I am very impressed
I have had this set for over a year now and they all still look as good as new. I don’t have a dishwasher at the moment, so have been handwashing, but I have been really pleased with this cookware. The fry pans are nice and solid. And the saucepans are great too. The 2 handles are enough, and I don’t have any other pots or fry pans other than this set and feel no need for anything else. I did purchase the lid that goes over the fry pans too though – its very useful.
These are brilliant pans for home and away. Easy to use, easy to clean and simple to store
Wanted some more, good quality, stainless steel pans. SS are the best we believe. As for the ‘non stick’ frying pans, well we go through many. My wife seems to be able to destroy them at a remarkable speed!
Update: 23/4/21 (1 year after purchase) The frying pans are not as robust as suggested. The non stick coating is bubbling and peeling away, so rendering them unusable. Time to test the 10 year guarantee that came with them.
Purchased as a space-saving measure, I’m really pleased with the quality and design. The handle seems to work well on a couple of uses. I’ve passed on a set of pans and a set of casserole dishes to new users and still have space in the cupboard.
We moved into a new home and our previous pots and pans could not work on our induction hob. This works very well with its stainless steel base. We are very happy with it. The saucepan comes in good sizes for its use. The lids are flat. Tefal is a good brand but it’s slightly more expensive to get from Amazon for this set. With COVID-19, no choice we have to pay a bit more.
To be honest I thought they are too small first but then I realised they are deep enough. It is easy to use handles and lids. You can use the fryingpans in oven. In my opinion stainless steel is the healtiest.
My mum kept complaining about previous pots and pans so I decided to get her new ones and these seemed to fit the bill as it is non stick and compact. It arrived very quickly and my mum was very happy with them. Though they are slightly smaller than what we used to have so far they are doing the job. I would definitely recommend this for a family of 4 looking to save some kitchen space. The handles are easy to manage and sturdier than what you would think. I was initially sceptical but now I can’t imagine not having these as part of our kitchen as it saves us lots of room in the fridge and in this way we can avoid plastic.
My first impression of these saucepans is that they are beautiful items to have in my kitchen. It was the stackability that attracted me to them; the clean lines; and their versatility. They can be used on the hob, in the oven and with the neat plastic lids for storage in the fridge. I was not disappointed. As Marie Kondo would say, “They spark joy”. I have not cooked with them yet so I can’t comment on that.
They only get four stars because the photo gives the impression that the saucepans are deeper than they actually are. If you like deep saucepans, as I do, make sure you read the measurements carefully, or you may be disappointed. Sadly, I will have to spoil the aesthetics in my cupboard by keeping one of my deep saucepans to make chicken stock.
I bought last week this set of cookware for use on an induction hob. Storage capacity is excellent, the removable handle is a great invention.
Also, pans work perfectly, non-stick and no issues with cleaning (also in dishwasher).
Saucepans were quite disappointing: food can stick to the pan quite easily, so you need to be careful when cooking. But the worst thing is that after the FIRST use, following washing, they showed clear stains like I am reading many other customers experienced. I wrote Tefal to complain and I am waiting for a response.
Was sceptical but I love these pans. Good quality, good handle, great for storing!
I am very pleased with the purchase of this 13 piece set. The detachable handles are great for storage in my drawer and also the pans can be put in the oven without the handles. The other great thing is the plastic lids for storing the pans with food in the fridge. The one thing I would have liked was a larger frying pan/saute pan. But this can be bought separately
Very happy with purchase. Very good value for money as I bought it on sale.
The best pan set I’ve ever owned. Really compact when stored and after soaking really easy to clean. I was so impressed I’ve bought the same set for my parents.
The first lot had broken lids they were replaced. These are great quality, much better than the aluminium ones I’ve owned previously
