It includes a terrific, large stockpot for making hearty pastas, and is also equipped with a steamer insert for steaming vegetables. Sauté, simmer, brown and fry with this versatile set featuring measurement markings for easier cooking. This was to test for caramelization and browning on the outside crust, with the remainder being juicy but thoroughly cooked throughout. For the stockpot, I made marinara sauce with two 28-ounce cans of peeled tomatoes, onion and garlic to test both capacity and flavor. In the medium saucepan, I made long grain white rice to ensure it didn’t stick or clump, yielding separated cooked grains. To test the smaller saucepan’s ability to heat and cool, I reheated two portions of the marinara and made hard-boiled eggs to look for thoroughly cooked yellow yolks.

In the fry pan, I cooked pan-fried turkey burgers, seared scallops and sautéed chicken breast, and everything came out with the same golden-brown crust and juicy interiors. Much of that is owed to the aforementioned 3-ply sandwich, and it’s a testament to this set’s ability to hold up well against those higher temperatures. Anyone investing in a full cookware set will want to know that the pans they’re purchasing cover all of their culinary needs—but this is particularly important to those on a budget.

This essentially refers to food’s ability to stick to the bottom of the pan or pot just long enough to create a powerful flavor. The strength of a given set’s surface adhesion is particularly apparent when making sauces like marinara, which becomes savory and flavorful when the adhesion is just right.
