Ultimate versatility Stack it. Cook it. Bake it. Serve it. Store it.
Ultimate versatility
Stack it. Cook it. Bake it. Serve it. Store it.
Thanks to the clever detachable handle, the Ingenio Elegance pots and pans stack neatly inside each other for easy storage. With no need to make room for any handles, you’ll have up to 50% more space** in your cupboards!
Start cooking on the hob then use the handle to move the pan to the oven. Minus the handle, each pan doubles as an ovenproof dish – ideal for those dishes you start off by frying on the hob then finish in the oven. With its sparkling grey exterior, Ingenio Elegance cookware also makes a beautiful serving dish once the handle is removed. So, you can go straight from oven to table.
Once cooled, these practical pans can also be used to store leftovers in the fridge – just attach the Ingenio airtight lid. You can even reheat food in the same cookware. Better still, these pots and pans are dishwasher safe! This is cooking made simple.
**Compared to Tefal fixed handle ranges.

Slight damage to one of the pans but pans very well packaged and no damage to box so feel may have been packed with damage but the actual pans are great won’t go past tefal you know the quality you are getting only got new pans as old ones looked old on outside
Perfect for my needs, wanted to replace my old set – (how often do we actually replace our saucepans!) great storage, lids are sleek and grip well on the pan, handle is easy to attach to the saucepan. Unfortunately someone in the household used a metal spoon and scratched the bottom of one of the pans!! So use wooden or silicone utensils. A good purchase all round.
Super! It’s light easy to care and the magic of the handle which clicks on and off is brill! Love it. Recommend for anyone who likes to keep things simple. Great space saver as well. Takes like quarter of the usual space.
Looks good too early to say much , but pleased so fa
The functioning of these pans is great, they cook beautifully and I love the ingenio concept. However the elegance finish scratches so easily which is a shame as i chose these because i liked the finish so much.
I already have several little scratches from attaching and detaching the handle. The internal non-stick coating seems fairly robust though.
So far so good. My second purchase of these pans and haven’t been disappointed yet. Would recommend if you’re looking for non stick pans that can also be used in the oven.
After a few months of using it was disappointed the larger frying pan warp and now only heats up in the centre as this is the only part that touches the hob and it lost some of its Teflon coating and it was not abused it wasn’t used that much the smaller frying pan used even less is fine no issues with it.
Very good pans , easy for clean and not that expansive.
I always wanted to buy this one because of its compact design and not having handles for all of them, so can be stored easily.
Storage-wise it’s great and quality is good. However after using it for a year the handles not as functional and I am bit worried to drop it while holding the pots on handles provided.
Very pleased with these pans. Non stick works really well. Easy cleaned. Removable handles are pretty good.
—— The handle ——
The handle is fine and grips the pans well without any slip or movement. It does concern me that it is metal gripping metal and could wear away the surface but I have seen no evidence of this yet.
—— Cooking space ——
I would say from what I have cooked e.g. casseroles, curries and stir frys etc there is enough space to cook for 3 in the larger pan and 2 in the smaller pan. The walls are not too high but certainly taller than a frying pan so you can fit more in.
—— Cleaning ——
Cleaning the pan has been easy. As it is non-stick everything comes off with a quick wipe and it’s ready to go again.
—— Storage ——
Storing is easy as the pans just stack inside each other and without the handles offsetting the stack they are easy to retreive and put back. I would suggest putting something between the pans like a small cloth so the surfaces are not constantly banging when being put away or retreived, which scratches the surface and wears away the non-stick coating.
—— Conclusion —–
I would highly recommend these pans, they have worked well and for the price offer a more useful cooking experience in terms of being able to go from stove to oven as well as storing them better. I have been on the look out for something like this for a long time but the prices always seem to high. This strikes a good balance for what you get and based on the construction and metals no corners have been cut here in my opinion.
If you have more than 3 people in your household I would maybe give this a miss, you may need the larger pan of this set and then what would be the next larger pan up to cover most scenarios.
I’ve wanted these for a long time. I wish I never waited. I will be purchasing the rest of the collection.
These are good, can use in the oven, stack good in the drawer, cook well and dont stick
i was only looking for a replacement handle for my pans i already had, this would of been 14, this pan set was twice the price (bargin) and i got two replacements for my older frying pans, now i can use the old pans specifically for the oven win win.
Can’t praise these more, great to use and so easy to clean, genuinely non-stick. I use with fry light and have no problems. Even managed porridge in them without the usual mess to contend with afterwards.
If you want to make big dishes in a small kitchen then these are the pans for you!
They are space saving, the handle is real bonus being detachable
100% non stick, a breeze to clean every single time
I got this for Christmas and it has been well used. I have very little storage space so this is perfect. The removable handles clip on securely, it’s not too heavy, hand washes easily and is perfectly non stick. I can keep the leftovers in the fridge using the plastic lids. There are a lot of pans in this set giving a variety of choice and of course the quality is superb. I am extremely happy with this set and would definitely recommend.
Worth every penny !
Small kitchen tiny cupboard so these store pans are brilliant !!!
Versatile for storage, but the pan can be light compared to the handle, so need to be careful on the hob. If the flame is big, careful not to burn the handle (made of plastic and metal).
What can I say about these absolute amazing we brought these to replace some pots and pan we got over 10 year ago they was the best ever we love them and we didn’t think any other would be as good but we stand corrected nothing stick to the pan not even the wife’s cooking they all go in to the cupboard nice and easy taking up hardly any room and cooking with them is a delight everything cook evenly I would recommend them to friends and family
Excellent set of pans. They really are non stick so they are so easy to clean after use. And no handles means they all stack inside each other so makes them easy to store! Only wish we had bought them sooner.
Very pleased with these pans – made tarte tatine, frittata…. etc.
Great pans!! I’d been looking at these for a while and waited until Black Friday sales.
The pans are durable, non stick coating works really well and they clean very easily.
Great design for those with limited kitchen storage space (can stack pans with just the footprint of the larger frying pan). Two types of lid are a nice touch (glass ones for when cooking, or plastic ones for storing cooked food in the pan).
I was a little concerned about how sturdy the detachable handles would be, but after a few months of use, I’ve had no complaints!!
stackable pans are great for saving space and the plastic lids come in handy too when you need to keep food in the fridge till morning. only gripe is that you only get 2 handles so i will have to order a couple more.
Best pots I’ve owned , perfect storage options – fit in any cupboard . Such a great simple idea
Got the pans in the Christmas sales. Make the drawers a lot tidier with easy stacking and the detachable handles are really good for changing from job to oven. Would buy again.
Great set. Good storage solution. I have these att home and this set given to son for his new apartme
The only thing to dislike about this set is a lack of lids
Initial thought are these are pretty good and the idea about having removable handle seems great. Non stick works as it should and it’s easy to clean.
The handle quality is great and built well and can easily take a much heavier pan.
Time will tell how long it will last.
Best tefal non-stick pans, easy storage with removable handle. The handle give a good grip and it is not loose. It is very easy to clean with resistant Titanium base. I am very happy with my purchase and I have been using them for more than 6months.
What a great set of pots and pan,it save me loads of storage space and very easy to clean!
Love the removable handles.highly recommended!
As advertised. Wonderful set. Easy to use and store away.
The first day of cooking in it, it got scratched I’m still kind of puzzled as I was using a wooden spoon so I don’t really know what went wrong there. I have developed a few scratches on some of the pots as my kids use them as well but it’s not deteriorating as fast as the other non stick pots I’ve bought .
Cooking without oil with some foods like bacon is a breeze but I’ve also noticed because the lids makes two air vent at the side sometimes it’s hard to keep gravy in the pot when cooking some dishes but I’ve learnt to adapt to it. The lid handle sometimes needs re tightening also.
I could do with a lid for the bigger pot as well as I have a big family and sometimes need to use the wok as a normal stewing pot.
Overall as said above I love my set but improvements could be made
They are very well build. It is easy to use, and you can cook with them in the oven !
Present for my son & his wife – so much easier for them to cope now in a relatively small kitchen.
Really good quality pans with a good mix of sizes. I especially like the saute pan which is a half frying half sauce hybrid. Lids are good but I have a slight reservation whether the butterfly style handles will last the test of time.
Non stick coating is great and you can fry an egg with no oil and no sticking.
I’m hoping these last as currently I’m very happy with them.
Great for space saving. Not the best selection of pot shapes and sizes. It comes with two detachable handles and I couldn’t manage to order extra handles.
I love these pans, they are so easy to use. The non-stick coating is great and everything come up really easily, no scrubbing required, just wipe them off. They stack so neatly inside each other making them perfect for small cupboards and they save so much room. Small scratches and nicks are expected and common!
A bit lighter than expected but does its job in an excellent way!
Brilliant pan set, and can go in the oven with the handles removed.
Game changer! I have a while cupboard to fill up with other bits now and nothing sticks, should have invested a long time ago, we actually enjoy cooking agai
Really love this set of pans! Wish I had bought them years ago. Space saving but still great pots and pans. I’m a convert for life!
Great space saving set and sturdy enough to last for years. I’m still getting used to popping the handles off during cooking, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it soon enough!
Das Topf- und Pfannenset ist hochwertig und entspricht qualitativ ganz meinen Vorstellungen. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es wegen der Farbe. Auf den Fotos wirkt sie blau, deshalb habe ich mich auch fr den Kauf entschieden. Leider ist von Blau in Wirklichkeit praktisch nichts zu sehen, ich wrde die Farbe eher als dunkles Anthrazit beschreiben.
Very well made, what a send for cooking and brilliant storage desig
This is a great pan set, I brought the 13 piece set and cook with them most days.
They are very easy to clean as they do not hold any food stuff whilst cooking being none stick. They stack inside each other reducing storage space and come with cooking and storing lids if required.
Mine came with 2 removable handles, which are great and again save on space.
I would definitely recommend this pan set, it’s the best I’ve ever owned.
Space saving feature is a bonus and the non stick coating is very good and so easy to clean.
Great quality. Save space. One needs to know that the pans can still slightly jiggle side to side when shaken. But it’s not a big problem as they do not fall off the clip. I highly recommend completing the set with the steamer insert with 26cm lid.
I absolutely love these pans. I went for the set that did not include the pointless steamer with no lid as I already have a perfectly good one,
The pans are fab though! So easy to store, I love the detachable handle! Cooking with them is wonderful as they truly are non stick. Making pancakes yesterday was flipping delightful (get it)
Just the thing I needed! Saves space and cook with no oil or almost none. Easy to clean, no stick and is a good set with everything you need. I don’t understand how the red sign works to tell you when is hot enough to cook but I will sort it out one day.
Love it, not heavy and really easy to clean. Very versatile. White lids don’t seem to stay on though but other than that excelle
Very good product. Easy to clean, stack and use. Love Tefal
Downsizing my kitchen was a nightmare but found this a saviour. What used to take up 3 drawers, now just the one. It heats up quick too. All in all a winne
I have had the Ingenio collection for over a year and so far so good
Really good. Easy to stack, easy to clean and easy to cook with. With no handles it easier to have more pots in the hob.
Love the stackability!! Excellent non stick with good selection of sizes . Glad we got these.
Easy to clean. Lives up to its non-stick claims. Unsure on durability as not had for long enough to judge. Space saving
THESE MOST CERTAINLY DO WHAT IS SAYS, VERY GOOD QUALITY, VERY EASY TO KEEP CLEAN AND WITH THE DETACHABLE HANDLE MOST USER FRIENDLY PAN I’VE COME ACROSS. ALSO BRILLIANT VALUE FOR MONEY.
i LOVE them! they are so nice, and the fact you can stack them together, means you save some space! so cool! i just love using them, they are easy to cook with and super quick to warm up, and cooking in them means nothing attach to them! great!
I LOVE this set. This is my 2nd set. My kitchen is small so detachable handle is great!
So easy to store in a small kitchen. Handle is very easy to attach and remove, I just wish I had two!!
These pans are very useful!! I received my package in 5 days even after Amazon said in 5 weeks.
Very good set. Very happy with them so far. Easy to clean and stand up to a dishwasher very well.
Perfect for our application. (RV /limited space)
Quality was very good.Shipper was perfect.Product was here in 10 days not the 5 week Amazon auto populate.
Love these and want more, but finding them hard to find….only seem to be able to find the induction ones.
Excellent. Stylish and perfect for stacking/storing easily. Love them.
It’s an amazing product design. Great quality.
Saves space on shelf.
Exact fit for any kind of shelf.
I love it! and it takes no place in the cupboard
Lovely product, easily cleaned and does what it says on the tin really. Hope they have longevity- ask me in ten years.
Excellent products, which were purchased to replace the two frying pans from an old set of T-Fal Ingenio pots and pans. The new removable handle works with the pots from the old set as well as with these new pans, which is convenient. The product arrived earlier than I expected, in time for Christmas. It should be noted that I was unable to buy just the two pans and handle from any vendors in the USA – they all wanted to sell large sets of pots, pans, covers and handles. As stated above, all I needed was the two pans to replace two worn out pans from an older set. I am quite satisfied with this purchase.
So far I like them mainly because now there is room in the pan cupboard. No more struggle to find the pan I want. Handles be gone.
Best pot & pen set I have every bought. What a great solution for space saving in the dishwasher and in the cupboards. Delivery from seller was on time. Couldn’t be happier.
Delivery was super fast and everything was there. My boyfriend is chuffed and can’t wait to start using them!
Fantastic for use on a boat, caravan, motor home or just everyday use
I bought the 3 piece set, 2 pans and 1 handle. I like that they can transfer from hob to oven and they can go in the dishwasher. They are good sizes too. The handle coming off is useful for storing the pans in a drawer. Great purchase.
These are perfect for someone like us who has very little kitchen space. I love the idea of being able to swap handles from pan to pan and somehow it makes washing up a lot easier with no handle involved. We had two handles which is plenty enough.
Even heat distribution makes these a joy to use. Being able to remove the handle while the pots are on the hob means that there is no risk of catching them and knocking the pans over, which is a significant safety consideration when small children are in the kitchen. Easy storage with handles removed is a bonus. My only regret is that it took me so long to get around to buying these pans.
Such. Great space saver! I was concerned about how the handle would attached and how secure it would be but it is excellent. Just need to save up for the rest of the set!
What a clever idea…in theory pans with removable handles so that you can use on the hob or in the oven. Works well in practice too!
I thought long & hard before purchasing these but am glad I did. They are a lovely pans. The handles are safe (I was worried about accidentally catching the clasp & spilling hot food between hob & destination), I needn’t have worried; you have to press both sides to release the handle. Highly recommended.
I’ve seen other solutions with detachable handles, but they all still had some kind of bracket or base attached to the pans – this is much more elegant.
Personally I’m not sure I’d often take advantage of the ability to use as storage containers in the fridge, but I’ve certainly switched one pan between hob and oven.
I’m not sure I’d spend the money to replace any decent pans you have, but if you need a new set anyway, then definitely take a very hard look at these – just brilliant.
Used a lot as they provide the right size saut or stir fry pan for the meal
Very good and save space too. They don’t burn everything like my ceramic pan tends to do. Pity they’re not available in more sizes.
Love it. Especially the fact that you can take off the handles. Make the storing as well as putting into the oven so easy and practical.
They are very good an they do save on space. The most important thing is the transfer from hob to oven is easy.
Really good pans and the snap on handle system is great, so they can be interchanged, put under the grill etc. Quick delivery too.
I had bought a set like this some years ago in France so was very happy to see that they’re now sold in the UK. I use them almost everyday because with the removable handles they’re so versatile; I start the cooking on the hob and then transfer to the oven or the grill, I recommend them to anyone and have bought another set for my son who’s a keen cook.
I have a one-bedroom flat with a tiny galley kitchen. There’s very little space to store large pans. I have enough room for a rail above my cooker, but even that is pretty limiting. With this set I’m able to put a fairly comprehensive collection of pans on top of my microwave or under the sink without any problems.
The idea is simple: the pans themselves don’t have handles, instead you use separate handles that securely clamp on to the rim of the pan you want to use. This allows the pans to sit matyroska style within each other. If you think about it, the handle of a regular pan makes it a somewhat awkward shape for putting in the sink, in the fridge, or in a cupboard.
At first I thought it was a silly gimmick. I’ve come round since, though, and I think a good amount of thought has gone into the design of the Ingenio line:
– Even the lids are designed to lie flat atop one another, with the handles folding down.
– The set also comes with a couple of plastic covers so you can easily put leftovers in the fridge without having to use a separate tupperware or bowl.
– The handles or grips really clamp onto the pans. There’s a tiny bit of wiggle, but I think you’d struggle to remove a handle from the pan once it’s snapped on.
– The handles are also surprisingly easy to clean: absolutely essential given that the set is marketed as a space and labour saving tool.
As for the pans themselves – I think they’re quality. I usually use Circulon Infinite skillets (and still do, since there isn’t an exact equivalent in this set) and I’d say that the heat transfer and non-stick finish is comparable. They’re a cut above the John Lewis own-brand set I had been using before, which was already pretty decent. They cook well, clean well, and look good. I’ve used the small wok extensively for stir fries and the larger saucepans for all sorts of one-pot dishes that need to go in the oven.
I’d recommend this set for anyone who needs to save some space in the kitchen and doesn’t have a great deal of hanging storage available. The cookware is high enough quality that it’d be useful in any kitchen, though, and I do think this is an example of positive innovation in a fairly staid industry.
This enamel set is suitable for all cookers except induction – there is another, more expensive, set which can also be used with induction hobs. The design is really quite ingenious – it is practical and space-saving and with two saucepans, two frying pans a saut pan and a wok it will meet many of your cooking requirements. The 3 glass lids fit the saucepans and the wok and the 2 plastic lids fit the saucepans for storing leftovers in the fridge after cooking. The 2 detachable handles fit all 6 pans and can be clipped anywhere around the rim, and are quite easy to attach and remove.
Whether you are looking for a first set of pans or some additional ones the Tefal Ingenio range is well worth considering. This 13 piece set is a good all-rounder but there are plenty of other ways to buy products in the range. The pans have been in daily use since they arrived and have become the number one choice for all the cooks in our house! A very ingenious cookware concept and still manufactured in France by Tefal.
As a set of pans these are in the premier league.
They are very well designed as you would expect from Tefal, a leading brand. Made from a strong enameled aluminum with a non stick coating, they are very practicable. They can be used either on the hob or in the oven.The range of pans in the set covers all needs for everyone. No further purchases will be necessary.
A really good feature is in the stacking of the pans. With strong detachable handles the pans can be stacked as the picture shows, saving a massive amount of storage space. A superb idea!!.
