Induction Cookware Sets - 12 Piece Gray Cooking Pan Set, Granite Nonstick Pots and Pans Set

This cookware set is a great addition to any new kitchen. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the elegant gray design looks beautiful on the stove. The nonstick surface works very well—food releases easily and cleanup is quick. It heats evenly and is very practical for everyday cooking. Overall, a reliable and stylish set that I’m very happy with.

The Kitchen Academy meets more than your expectation. I chose this set because it had no negative reviews, and it proves to be a wise decision!. It's sturdy and well built, with better than average weight. The pots and pans heat up quickly, evenly and SURPRISINGLY require less STIRRING while cooking, i.e. coucous! I purchased the creme beige color because I'm not a fan of the speckled colors. However, the beige color, when viewed up close, actually does have some tiny brown muted specks, barely perceptible. The faux wood knobs and handles are HANDSOMELY attractive, ergonomically COMFORTABLE, and do not retain heat! CLEAN UP with this set, is an ABSOLUTE BREEZE, with just a few wipes around, with a dish cloth! Honestly, for the excellent QUALITY and SHEER BEAUTY, the price point of the Kitchen Academy is a "homeroom"! Whether you've been out of cookery for awhile, (like myself), or just want to upgrade and try something new, or give as a gift, without "breaking the bank", the Kitchen Academy cookware is a "SLAM DUNK"!

I’ve been using this set for a little over a month and I’m extremely pleased with it. First, I have the black “speckled” set and it’s very pretty and it reminds me of a farmhouse kitchen which I love. Everything glides on the surface and it heats evenly. Pursuant to the instructions, I use medium heat and everything browns/cooks nicely. They are a little bit heavier than my other set (T-fal) but that’s a good thing because they feel very sturdy in my hand. I love how the sides come straight up from the pan/pot and not curved out like most sets. I don’t have to worry about food splashing over the sides. I only use silicone or wooden utensils so I do believe, with care taken, the scratch resistance will last for quite some time. I like how the pots/pans stack which saves me storage space.

I normally don't write long reviews, but I decided to post a long review for this product because I realize that my decisions to buy or try things are partly based upon reviews I read, so posting a long but honest is warranted. First of all, I'm not a chef or a person who works in the food service industry, so I don't have a biased opinion. I'm a working woman with a busy schedule like many of you who might read this post. I meal prep for the week, and I cook very often, so when I bought another house a few months ago, I decided that this time I wanted functional yet stylish cookware made by the same company that I could use for all occasions and for all my meals. I didn't want to keep collecting pots and pans made by different companies that could be only used to cook certain dishes, so I started searching for cookware that would fit my busy lifestyle and that was stylish yet capable of handling frequent use without rapidly showing signs of wear. I needed durable cookware with other features like non-stick surfaces, sturdy handles, and tops that didn't rust, but I didn't want to spend a fortune for the cookware, and I wasn't interested in waiting weeks to have it shipped to me. I figured a country as big as the U.S. should have at least 1 company somewhere that makes exactly what I need. I found it. I initially bought the 12 piece cookware set from Kitchen Academy, and I got gray because it matched the color scheme in my house. I was very happy when I opened the box and started handling my new cookware. The ceramic has weight to it. It's not flimsy. The handles and the knobs on the pot covers are made with real wood, and they are very sturdy, yet the handles have been sanded down, so the wood is very smooth to the touch. The ceramic is non-stick, scratch resistant, and very easy to clean. It's also stainless so no more disclored pots from cooking heavy sauces. The entire set is sophisticated yet practical, and my only regret is that I didn't know about Kitchen academy sooner. I like my cookware from Kitchen Academy so much that I'm ordering another set so I can have extra pots and pans to cook with for large gatherings during the summer and fall. Kitchen Academy has added real value to my life, and I appreciate them for making cookware that meets the challenge of a busy life.

Bought this set because I learned the hard way about PFOA poisoning with my old set. Anyway, this set arrived with no damage, no assembly required. Wife thought the set (Black with brown Bakelite handles) looked nice. I like the moderate weight of each pan, the pan bases obviously hold and distribute heat well (verified with testing). I first tested the small pan, light spray of canola oil, fried 2 eggs, eggs slid out perfect. The small pan heated up a little slower than my preferred lighter-weight egg pan, and also held heat longer than my preferred pan - but that's my personal preference, for eggs I like lighter weight quicker pans. Then I used the big "11 inch fry pan" to saute onion and pepper, then brown some chopped chicken breast, and then added a sauce. Browning and saute worked well (not quite as good as a cast iron but not many pans do, and I don't add/make sauces in my cast iron), and the pan cleaned up well. Note the 11" does not come with a lid, but I had a lid from my previous set that fit - actually kind of important to me, lucked out. I made rice in the "3Q casserole with lid", worked great. Heated up some black beans plus seasonings in the "1.5Q saucepan with lid". All cleaned up easily. Now the negative comment, that knocked a "star" off the review rating - what is listed as a "5Q casserole with lid" is actually ONLY 4 QUARTS!!!!! Very disappointing. Almost a deal killer, as we occasionally make soups and chili for the kids and grandkids. I contacted the seller and they comp'ed me, so I kept the set. Now I need to shop for a 5+ quart stew pot, oh well... Anyway, the set is a keeper. Good value for the price. Didn't need a big set anymore.

It seem to have a very good aesthetic for kitchen. The material seem high quality and durability, for value you can't go wrong as 12 set is overkill for everyday use. It work perfectly fine on my induction hob and I have no problem with foods sticks to the pan. I feel like this good investment for the price consider you get 12 set cookware, honestly it enough for average home use. Even though cleaning is quite easy but I'm worry for long term scratches.

Excellent pans no sticking

I've only just decided to write this review because I wanted to see how the pans went i have had these for just under a year and I would highly rate them they are exactly as described food has never stuck on the pans . They extremely sturdy durable and the heat distribution is perfect , they are not to heavy so my kids can use them with having them a year they have not even been scratched so it is very much scratch resistant but i do make sure i dont use metal utensils and they are so easy to clean unlike my previous pan sets I am actually thinking of buying a second set .

Colour is much darker than it appear in the photos. They feel a bit cheap.

Amazing pots, love them to pieces
