Also schick sehen sie aus und die Qualitt ist auch okay. Fr den Preis kann man da nicht meckern. Allerdings werden die Pfannen nicht so heiss. Was dazu fhrt das man nicht bei hheren Temperaturen braten kann.
Die Pfannen machen einen qualitativ guten Eindruck. Nach 2 wochen Gebrauch kann ich daher nichts negatives sagen und bin bisher vollstens zufrieden.
Ottimo soprattutto il rapporto qualit prezzo. Padelle robuste, fanno il loro dovere
Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo e facili da pulire pienamente soddisfatta
premesso che non le ho ancora usate tutte ma quelle che ho usato andavano benissimo.
belle e resistenti e l’antiaderenza mi sembra buona
I am very happy with my purchase. The pans are light. Easy to clean. A very functional lid. Everything I need to fry scrambled eggs and pancakes and more.
Dunque, come ogni antiaderente bisogner vedere quanto tempo dura in rivestimento interno, quindi la valutazione non pu essere 5 stelle immediate, anche se devo dire che nella sua semplicit, questa mini batteria mi piace tantissimo!!!
Our pans with our new hob. Will buy again when needed
Ottimo prodotto ad un buon prezzo . Arrivato in tempi ultra veloci
I bought these to use with my new induction hob. They are attractive to look at and the non-stick coating is excellent. However, both the frying pans are slightly wobbly because of the weight of the handles, hence only 4 stars.
Prezzo contenuto, perfette per i piani a induzione e con un design accattivante. Ottimo acquisto
Great sizes. I love the handles on lids fold flat. Great value for money
Un buon rapporto qualit-prezzo l’estetica molto bella e sembrano molto funzionali e ogni pentola niente ha il suo coperchio e sono facilmente impilabili recuperando cos spazio Nei mobili
Lsst sich gut drauf kochen, brennt nichts an, das Wichtigste dabei und sieht dazu auch noch schick aus. Perfekt fr unser Wohnmobil!
only issue ive had is that you cant properly clean under the lip of the lids which can collect dirt and wate
Als ich im Voraus die Rezensionen zu den Tpfen gelesen habe, fand ich es bereits bewundernswert, welchen Anspruch die Leute bei Tpfen haben, die zu solch einem Preis angeboten werden. Ein vergleichbares Topfset namenhafter Hersteller kostet gerne das drei- bis vierfache. Will sagen:
DAS PREIS-LEISTUNGSVERHLTNIS IST TOP!!
-gute Wrmeentwicklung auf Ceranfeld (andere Platten nicht getestet)
-Deckel erfllen ihren Zweck (Ich bewerte die anklappbaren Griffe und somit platzsparende Lagerung hher, als die potentielle Gefahr sich am Deckel zu verbrennen. Diese Gefahr sehe ich bei normaler Benutzung nicht!)
-kratzfestes Material und einfache Reinigung
Alles in Allem ein gutes gnstiges Produkt!
Habe die Tpfe jetzt seit 3 Monaten im Einsatz und kann keine schlechten Sachen darber sagen. Erfllen ihren zweck, keinerlei Verformung festzustellen. Fr den Preis wirklich top
Haben die Tpfe meiner Tochter fr Ihre erste Wohnung gekauft!
Sie sind beschichtet soweit alles gut. Die dazugehrigen Deckel haben einen Ausgu, was sehr praktisch ist und funktioniert.
Die Tpfe sind Splmaschinenfest
Als Erstausstattung super Tpfe! Zu empfehle
Gute kaliett. Nie Hitze ist schnell erreicht und man kann bei ganz kleine Flamme sein essen zu ende kochen . Hlt sehr lange die Wrme und ist auch leicht zu reinigen . Bin sehr zufrieden damit
,so macht das kochen Spa.
Die drei Pfannen tun in unserem Zwei-Personen-Haushalt absolut das, was sie sollen. Und sie sind wirklich leicht zu reinigen. Ich wrde das Set jederzeit wieder kaufen.
Die Tpfe sind gut, funktionieren mit Induktion. Die Deckel mit einklappbaren Griff sind dadurch sehr flach und gut verstaubar. Leider ist zwischen Glasscheibe und Brdelrand ein Zwischenraum. Und wenn da einmal Schmutz drinnen ist, wird es mhsam. Daran scheitert die Splmaschine und es ist nervige Handarbeit angesagt. Oder Gottvertrauen darauf, dass heier Dreck dann nicht schadet.
Ich habe die Tpfe schon das zweite mal gekauft, ein mal fr mich ind auch als Geschenk. Die Tpfe kommen gut in einander und nehmen wenig Platz. Auf dem Deckel kleines Loch, do das der Damf da raus kann. Ich kann weiter empfehlen.
Ho preso questo set cambiando da fornello a gas a induzione. Le uso da ormai un anno. Le mie non hanno fatto ne ruggine ne macchie rispetto ad altre pentole. Il fondo piatto e l’acqua per la pasta bolle molto rapidamente, molto pi rapidamente rispetto a quelle antiaderente con il disco sordo per induzione. Coperchi piatto molto comodo e comoda la gommatura sul manico. Per me sono state un acquisto molto valido
Die Tpfe an sich finden wir sehr gut. Einziges Manko sind die Topfdeckel.
Zum einen klappt der Deckelgriff zur Seite und liegt auf dem heien Glas
wodurch eine Verbrennungsgefahr entsteht und zu anderen ist die Befestigung des
Deckelgriffs sehr asiatisch. Schon beim ersten Gebrauch hatte ich besagten Griff in
der Hand. Musste ihn wieder in die Fhrung friemeln und ordentlich zusammen drcken.
In diesem Punkt besteht ein Verbesserungsbedarf.
For an amazon basics product there is nothing basic about them, they are very sturdy and look great.
Le sto usando da qualche giorno e mi trovo davvero bene.
Il coperchio utilizzabile anche per scolare comodissimo.
Io le ho acquistate per una seconda casa che un piano ad induzione Indesit e funzionano perfettamente.
Non ho termini di paragone con altre marche perch sono le prime per piano ad induzione che acquisto e quindi non so se i tempi di cottura/ebollizione siano congrui oppure no, io ero abituato con normali piastre elettriche e quindi queste per me sono velocissime.
Se proprio devo fare un appunto la pentola “da pasta” un po’ piccolina e per 4 persone si fa un po’ fatica a farci stare i giusti quantitativi di acqua e pasta (per 2/3 persone secondo me invece perfetta).
Es realmente bonita la batera, viene muy completa y por el precio que tiene es ideal. La he comprado para m placa de induccin y todo genial, a ver qu tal aguanta el tiempo.
Hace poco que las uso pero de momento bien. El asa algo incomoda.
Mi sono piaciute molto. Il loro design infatti semplice, ma con un tocco di colore sui manici(rosso/bordeaux).
I manici e presa coperchio sono in silicone, comodi per una presa sicura, ma che riscaldano comunque quindi c’ bisogno ugualmente delle presine!
Unica pecca? quella pi grande si rovinata sul fondo interno, dopo il primo utilizzo! un difettuccio che abbiamo risolto con l’assistenza clienti.
Non sono un eccellenza, come altri marchi noti, ma la loro funzione base la svolgono e il prezzo competitivo e buono!
I needed a starter induction pan set and this works so well. Easy to clean and use and cooks well
I loved the way the covers got and the overall quality. I didn’t expect them to be as nice as they are. Excellent quality
Ottimo x piano a induzione, solo che si macchia molto facilmente il fondo anche solo con acqua e quindi se si lavano in lavastoviglie vanno pretrattate con attenzione e quindi con spreco di tempo forse x la resa il prezzo doveva essere pi basso.
Ich bin mit der Abgie Funktion sehr happy und die Beschichtung schein auch sehr gut zu sein. Mir gefallen auch die Silikon Griffe. Allerdings muss sich die Qualitt der Beschichtung noch auf lange Zeit beweisen.
Ein kleiner Nachteil ist, dass die Griffe am Deckel umklappen. Hebt man den Deckel um zu rhren oder gucken, kann man sich leicht am Deckel verbrennen wenn man den Deckel schrg hlt und die Griffe umklappe
3 good sized quality pans for a great price,
Highly recommended
Cercavo pentole per piano ad induzione e mi sono piaciute perch sono allegre, con i manici colorati… inoltre ho verificato anche la buona qualit di acciaio. Le ho provate sul piano e vanno molto bene. E’ stata una bella sorpresa sapere che nel prezzo erano compresi anche i coperchi che aderiscono perfettamente con il vantaggio di evitare sgocciolamenti sul piano di cottura… Sono molto soddisfatta anche dell’ottimo prezzo
Buen peso y grosor de material. No tiene ese tacto como de “lata” de la chapa de acero fina.
Aspecto robusto y buen acabado.
Fondo pulido y sin deformacin despues del uso.
Limpieza y adherencia normal dentro de lo que es una olla de acero, no aparecen manchas, como he visto en comentarios, aunque si es normal que pueda aparecer un cambio de tonalidad en el fondo, sobre todo si se las somete a altas temperaturas, como cualquier acero inox.
Se apilan facilmente gracias a los pomos plegables de las tapas. ocupan poco espacio.
Contras:
En las tapas se suele acumular agua del vapor entre el cristal y el borde metlico.
Sugiero que corrijan este punto.
Por lo dems, nada que objetar.
Magnifica relacin calidad-precio
inutile che chiediate di recensire se poi non pubblicate ci che uno scrive
Avevo scritto che il prodotto ottimo ma che il corriere mi ha lasciato il pacco incustodito davanti alla porta senza suonare.
Se non era per il mio vicino potevano anche portarmelo via.
Ma la mia recensione, si vede che non piaceva e non l’avete pubblicata.
Allora non chiedete di recensire, fate quello che vi pare e basta.
Purchased as wanted stackable pots for the drawer unit and was fed up fighting to get it closed with old mismatched pans. These have made it easier 3 standard size pans for most cooking needs. Work well on my induction hob and so far all is good like the red small handles which do not get hot easy to clean so far.
Tal cual la foto, son bastante buenas. Las tengo hace ya unos meses y no se pegan aun… y la tapa es muy grande.
J’apprcie beaucoup cette batterie de cuisine de bon style. Les couvercles en verre sont lgants. Le prix est trs correct. Une toile a t enleve car quelques petits dfauts sur la surface anti-adhsive de certaines pices ont t visibles
Optisch sehr ansprechend, war dieses Set ein gelungenes Weihnachtsgeschenk fr einen Singlehaushalt.
The pans feel good quality with a practical variation of sizes to enable them to be used for different cook requirements. Very easy to clean and make sure you don’t rinse them in cold water immediately after use but let them cool and then wash in warm soapy water. Early days however so far so good and at a competitive price.
Die Tpfe sind i.O. Nur am Deckelrand -innen- ist eine Reinigung sehr schwer, da sehr wenig Platz.
Eine Pfanne verbogen ich verstehe nicht warum?
Qualitt nicht gut. Besser gute Marke kaufen rin mal kaufen.
Nicht empfehle
Tres belle qualit pour un prix raisonnable. Rapport qualit prix chaleur et style.
Consegna veloce. Piuttosto buono rapporto qualit prezzo. Esageratamente grande e ingombrante il coperchio. Cottura carne veloce e pefetta
Sono di acciaio martensitico (per poter funzionare con l’induzione) e pertanto sono pi soggette ad ossidarsi rispetto a quelle in austenitico.
Sopportabile. per il resto prodotto pi che discreto relativamente al prezzo.
The non-stick coating is great. Does not give off any off smell and the underneath of the pot is aluminium so it absorbs heat from the induction hub quite fast.
I’m a chef, food blogger and I love this.
Trs pratique pour une utilisation dans un studio sur plaque Facile au nettoyage
100% value for money. The stainless steel handles get hot easily within 10 mins of cooking. I use them on electric stoves. That’s the only issue I am facing with them.
Fr den gnstigen Preis sind sie absolut o.k. Werden schnell hei, also wenn man lange etwas kocht, was ich kaum tue, vielleicht zu schnell.
Achet pour tester le revtement “pierre”. Rapport qualit-prix bon et trs efficace. Rien ne colle et le nettoyage est trs facile. Par contre, le revtement se raye assez facilement.
Pas mal ! Je les utilise depuis plus de 3 mois et elles sont tjs au top ! Lavage la main uniquement pour prolonger leur dure de vie
Aprs 2 mois d’utilisation presque quotidienne sur plaques induction. Les poles ne se sont pas dformes et toujours aucune trace sur l’anti adhesif! Le couvercle avec fentre transparente est trs utile bien que plus grand que la grande pole. Je recommande !
Tres jolie batterie de cuisine qui a l air d tre d assez bonne qualit. Fonctionne trs bien sr l induction.
Ho aspettato un po’ prima di recensire queste pentole, l’estetica fantastica cos anche la praticit dell’impugnatura, c’ da dire che la qualit rispecchia ci che ho speso, con questi soldi non potevo aspettarmi di meglio, nulla di trascendentale…
Good sturdy pans that really work on induction cookers. I like the fact that these pans store really well as they fit inside each other and even the lids store well. The design has be nicely thought out as the lid handles do fold flat so take up only as much space as a plate instead of the usual 3 plate spaces for other pan lids. They are stainless steel, so you can just sling them into the dishwasher too so easy to clean. The pans are great for making pots of stock, soup and cooking pasta.
very nice liked the clever lid which fitted each pa
Three decent size pan. Lid a bonus as you it can be adapted to fit whichever size pan you are using.
Easy to cook with and easy to clean. Very pleased with this purchase and definitely value for money.
Great to use and easy to store without taking up to much room.
NOTA: Recensione relativa al set di padelle color verde salvia.
Si tratta di un set molto pratico con scolapasta cromato che si innesta sul tegame per permettere la cottura con vapore, una casseruola e una padella.
Funzionano con cucina a induzione. Forse per via del fondo un po’ sottile, sull’induzione le pentole si scaldano molto velocemente per cui sono sufficienti livelli bassi di energia per farle andare a temperatura.
L’antiaderente efficace ( gi da un mese che le uso).
Si possono lavare tranquillamente in lavastoviglie.
Per garantire leggerezza i manici sono cavi con una piccola apertura sul punto di imbullonamento, questo non rappresenta un problema, salvo che nella lavastoviglie a volte possono raccogliere un po’ d’acqua, che per va via dall’apertura molto facilmente.
In ultimo l’estetica molto gradevole, le linee essenziali, il color salvia e il manico cromato sono un mix indovinato.
In conclusione, sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto.
Alla prima vista molto belle.
Ho fatto bollire del acqua in due pentole: in una pentola di acciaio inossidabile e la pentola pi alta della batteria.
Devo dire che in pentola di acciaio inossidabile acqua ha iniziato a bollire dopo 5/6 minuti invece in pentola di questa batteria ce ne sono voluti 15/16 Min.
Amazing!!!! Such good quality and look really nice! Fantastic purchase
Very good value for money, good looking pots and pans, top products
Il faut juste voir ce qu’elle donnera l usure.
Dudaba de su capacidad para que no se peguen los alimentos, pero funciona tan bien o mejor que las clsicas de tefln. Tomando la precaucin de no sobrecalentarlas al fuego sin aceite ni alimentos, se presentan duraderas y como el primer da. Eso s, tomo la precaucin de no lavarlas con agua fra cuando an estn muy calientes. Tambin lo hago con un estropajo de fibra blanda, pues no necesitan ms. En consecuencia, excelente relacin calidad-precio para un tipo de producto que tarde o temprano hay que sustituir. La tapa anti salpicaduras no la uso nunca. Es demasiado grande, pesada y algo engorrosa de limpiar, por lo que recurro a una vieja de chapa que ya tena y me viene mejor.
Se ven sartenes buenas y fuertes.
La tapa que trae es muy grande pero es que es apta para tapar la sartn ms grande .
Las uso en mi placa de induccin y van muy bien.
Las tres sartenes estn genial, la tapa mega gigante no s si tiene mucho sentido para las pequeas, en la grande genial porque ves lo que cocinas por el cristal, al menos hasta que se empaa.
Gracias.
Lo recib ayer con un buen embalaje de los productos y le empec a dar uso en el mismo momento.
Comentar que tal y como describe, es muy antiadherente. La tapa va de maravilla para las 3 sartenes.
De momento ha cumplido con mis expectativas. No le pongo 5 estrellas porque como bien digo, no s cmo estarn de aqu a 1 mes.
sondern sogar als Splmaschinenfest deklariert bzw. offen bewirbt
und in seiner eigenen Artikelbeschreibung dann aber eine Hand Abwsche im Splbecken empfiehlt???
La he probado ya en varias ocasiones y la verdad es que va perfectamente bien.
No se pega nada y calienta de manera muy uniforme y rpida.
Es apta para todo tipo de fuegos.
Die Tpfe und Pfannen sehen gut aus und liegen gut in der Hand. Durch die Beschichtung lassen sie sich leicht reinigen. Das einzige was mich strt ist, dass die Griffe durch Pfannen- und Topfwnde durchgenietet sind. Da die meisten Krfte auf den Griffen liegen, ist das fr mich ein Schwachpunkt betreffend der Beschichtung dort. Zudem sind die Nieten leicht strend beim schpfen an der Topfwand entlang. Leider habe ich das vorher nicht gewusst und es war auch nicht ersichtlich fr mich, sonst htte ich sie nicht gekauft. Trotzdem kann ich das Set weiterempfehlen. Fr den Preis unschlagbar.
We have a number of Amazon Basics items in our kitchen and are always pleased with the quality of what is provided. This set of three stainless steel induction cookware is no exception. The three pots themselves are sturdy and have a nice weight to them without being overly heavy. The silicone coated handles make it easy to carry full pots without having to worry about them getting hot during the cooking process. The lids fit well and have a steam release hole so you can leave lids on at all times, the lid handles are easy to lift up so you can remove the lid as you need to. Again the silicone covers stop any sort of burning, though watch out if you flatten the handle towards the side of the lid with the steam release hole as I have caught my fingers in the steam here once or twice.
The fact that these pans can be used on a standard stove and an induction hob is great as it means you don’t have to worry about new pans when you are updating your kitchen.
Space saving wise you can store the smaller pots and lids inside the large pot but the lid for this will need to be kept separate as it will not sit easily on top due to the silicone handles.
I personally really like the look of these pans and the red and silver work well together, though if you are a bit more colour coordinated you may want to look at something without the colour flashes these have.
Overall these are a really good set of pans which I enjoy using and should last a long time.
* The six-piece count includes the two lids, there are only four utensils.
* The handles are not insulated so they get seriously hot.
* The non-stick coatings have thus far been effective, the usual caveats about not ruining them with metal tools etc apply.
* Pan warm-up is very fast, not all like pumping heat into heavy (expensive!) saucepans.
* We love the greenish Pistachio colour.
* I’ve not been able to try the set on an induction hob, only gas.
Overall a reasonable basic set, and inexpensive with feeling cheap and nasty.
The pans are a medium weight, we’ll constructed and a good size. I’ve tried induction hob and oven and they fair well at both. Dishwasher safe, and easy to clean. Two small downsides, firstly, the non-stick coating seems to have been slightly damaged by me using a plastic whisk (so could probably be improved), secondly, the handles transfer a bit more heat than a more expensive pan, when on the hob. Overall though, a good set of pans for those looking for a basic set without breaking the bank.
A decent set of pans. I especially like the one with the lid.
The little one is great for an egg, or two at a squeeze.
I find them to be non-stick.
The wash easy enough, although I haven’t tried them in the dishwasher, just washed them by hand.
I can’t see what the price is at time of this review, but they seem like an average set of pans that should be relatively cheap.
These are the best pans I’ve ever got .three great sizes and they heat up really quickly and there’s great even heat distribution. Really good non-stick – a lot of pans say they’re nonstick when they’re really not but this one is very good. They are very easy to clean too – just soak in water and some washing up liquid for a while and it washes right off squeaky clean! Would highly recommend feel and look great quality
Has more or less everything you could want bar a larger pot
These are very very well made and of a very high quality – sturdy all round with good weight and balance plus securely fitting well made life with handles
My mum was very happy as these have an excellent feature – a heat proof almost rubberised seal gasket along the rims which makes sure everything fits securely with minimum leakage
Colour is excellent as are the coatings and finishing Very stylish and look of high quality
Great as a gift for a newly married couple or house purchase or for yourself for your kitchen – or your Mum.
The non stick works well – absolutely nothing sticks. I’ve cooked omelettes in the frying pans, cooked beans and sauces in the saucepans and even if you move away while they are simmering and forget to stir…. when you come back, nothing is on the pan. At all. It’s like magic…. and they dishwasher safe. They clean up like new. They are a good weight – they feel strong and sturdy but aren’t overly heavy. The silicone edging has a gap on the lids to use for draining – this is a little hard to see until you know what you’re looking for. I love them! A really fantastic set of pans!
Another decent product from the AmazonBasics range, this is a fairly good quality 3-piece pot set that does what they are supposed too; though style wise there isn’t really anything special in the sense that they don’t look overly stylish, that said, they don’t look bad either.
In regards to the “space saving” aspect, they all stack up neatly with the small pot lid on-top and the other two lids kept to one side. I wouldn’t suggest stacking them together with the lids on each pot as they will become very unstable.
As for handling when heated, all the pots and lids have a silicone type material wrapped around it to make it a bit safer to handle, though as with anything hot, always handle with caution. The lids are mainly constructed of glass and have a steam hole in it too.
Would recommend if style isn’t high on your list when it comes to a pan set and just want something that does the job.
I received this product today and observations so far are:
1. Arrived quickly and well packaged
2. Has a little instruction leaflet that provided information about the product – But there is no information on the product itself so if you lose the leaflet you won’t really be able to tell what temperature it can withstand etc etc
3. Good thing is that the leaflet does say it’s dishwasher safe, usable on all types of hobs, is non stick.
4. The universal lid seems a bit like plastic so I don’t really know how it will fare when used while the hob is on. Also, it’s not really universal because it doesn’t fit the smallest pan that it was sent with.
5. It’s a bit on the heavier side for the small sized pan itself – but not as heavy as iron pans.
6. It’s made of aluminium and though it does say it’s non stick, the pan is a bit rough at the base. I’ll need to see how it fares on the long term
7. The pan is not scratch proof
Overall looks fairly good for a pan that isn’t made by the more established companies (Tefal, Prestige, etc) so I give it 4 stars. Needs to be used in the longer term to see how it fares in general though.
16cm saucepan with lid
20cm casserole dish with lid
24cm saute pan with lid
24cm frying pan
28cm frying pan
This is a beautiful cookware set. Every piece has a non stick coating, and minimal oil is needed to cook, making it ideal for healthy cooking. The handles on the saucepans are nice and long, making it much easier to hold/grip. The handles on the sautee pan are a good distance away so you can lift it with ease. The lids on the pans have steam holes and the pans themselves have a groove, making straining from the pan much easier.
All the items in the set look heavy but in fact are fairly light to hold. The set is excellent quality, durable, light weight and include a variety of sizes in saucepans/frying pans to suit everyones needs
A decent set of pans, ideal for students or those just starting out. Or indeed if you only have a small kitchen/budget.
They cleaned up well and so far non stick is working.
Happy with these pots
This is a very useful set of pans, assuming you want a pistachio green finish. They’re lightweight, being aluminium, but still feel solid and substantial.
The frying pan, at 28 cms, is arguably the best compromise on size, and heats fairly evenly. That applies to the saucepan too, and the steamer for it is very welcome. The 26 cm shallow pan is useful for all sorts of jobs, e.g. poaching eggs. Vented glass lids are supplied for both saucepans.
The non-stick finish does its job well although of course it’s too early to say how well it will wear. Inevitably, the metal handles get hot in use, but with the benefit that they can go in the oven or under the grill. There are holes in the handles, in case you want to hang the pans from hooks
If you want a starter set of pans and like the finish, these are very good value, especially if you have an induction hob. That’s based on just a few days’ use, of course – I have no idea how ell they’ll fare in the long term. There’s no price on Amazon, so I can’t be sure of value, hence four stars for now.
Not having a conventional handle sticking out from the side (usually much the same length as the diameter of the pan) is part and parcel of the nesting and space-saving. Instead you get a pair of handles mounted high on the sides of the pan. Besides making for efficient nesting, they force you to use two hands, which for some people in some circumstances would be not so good, but can also be safer, especially when it comes to the biggest (25mm, 10″) pan.
Having short handles makes an insulating material more or less essential (otherwise they would get too hot to touch), and in this case that wonderful modern material silicone does the job well.
The three pans are each of a useful size, between them covering most needs in a domestic kitchen. In the case of those I have received, I can also say that each stands firmly on its own base. That is no less than we would expect of any pan, but it is particularly important for use on an induction hob.
The mirror finish is very attractive — although frequent use of Brasso (or some other metal cleaner) will be necessary to keep it that way.
In principle, it is helpful that the lid has a steam hole in it. That is better than having to perch the lid on the side of the pan when simmering something. However, in all three of mine the steam hole is immediately adjacent to one side of the fold-down handle. So, if you fold down the handle whilst the pan is in use, and happen to fold it down to the side where the steam hole is, you are liable to get your fingers scalded when you reach for the handle. As it stands, all I can say is, ‘You will soon learn’ — to not fold it down on that side, or to use a cloth or a glove if you do, but it’s a design fault, and for that reason I am dropping my rating from five stars to four.
Otherwise, this set is good, with much to commend i
