For reference, I got the Luxe 11-pcs set.
1. First, let’s address the reasons behind some low-star reviews and why you won’t encounter those issues if you use this cookware set properly. First, the directions are there for a reason: do NOT leave the handle attached while the pot is on a hot burner. The handles aren’t designed for prolonged exposure to heat. They’re meant to be attached and removed as needed—perfect for frying eggs or flipping pancakes. If you’re simmering a sauce or stew, just take the handle off until it’s time to move the pot.
2.When it comes to cleaning, avoid abrasive tools like Brillo pads. Stick with Dawn dish soap to cut through grease, and use a Scrub Daddy or a soft sponge for tough spots. For stubborn stains, sprinkle baking soda on the pan, spray it with white vinegar, and let the fizz work its magic. For heavy buildup on the back of pans, soaking them in white vinegar is incredibly effective. These simple tricks can keep your cookware looking new without damaging the surface.
3. This set also comes with dividers for storage—use them! They’ll help prevent scratches when stacking the pans. It’s equally important to use non-metal utensils, as these pots are aluminum with a granite coating, not solid granite. Treat them gently, and they’ll last for years.
4. Now, let me tell you why I love this cookware. The space-saving design is a lifesaver. I live in a vintage home with tiny cabinets and minimal storage. This entire set fits neatly into one small cabinet by the stove. No more clutter or digging through multiple spots in the kitchen—it’s all in one place. As someone who has worked as a chef for years and now creates recipes for a community garden group, I’ve used every type of cookware imaginable. This set is perfect for anyone looking for practical, mid-range quality. Whether you’re a minimalist, live in an apartment, or cook for a family, this set is a smart choice.
5. If you care for these pots properly, they’ll hold up well over time. Yes, everyone has the occasional “oops” moment where something burns or overheats. It happens, but overheating will damage these pots, just as it would with any high-end cookware. My suggestion? Keep an older pan around for high-risk experiments, just in case. That way, you can protect this set for your everyday cooking.
6. Another feature I love is the storage lids. They’re perfect for making soups or sauces. After cooking, you can let the pot cool, pop on the lid, and store it in the fridge. When reheating, let the pot come to room temperature first to avoid sudden temperature changes that could damage it. If you’re in a hurry, you can transfer the food to another pot, but add a little water to prevent sticking or burning during reheating.
7. Timers are your best friend with this cookware. Use Alexa, your phone, or the stove timer to avoid distractions while cooking. I know life gets busy, and it’s easy to step away, but a quick reminder can save your pots and prevent burned food. The removable handles are another brilliant design feature. They remind me of vintage CorningWare, where one handle worked for multiple pieces. It keeps the set compact and clutter-free, which is perfect for my small kitchen.
8. This cookware set has been life-changing. Clearing out three cabinets of mismatched pots and pans and replacing them with this efficient, organized kit was a game-changer. I’ve tried hanging pots, under-counter storage, and even using the oven, but nothing compares to how compact and simple this set is. Plus, everything fits into my small dishwasher, saving time and effort.
9. The price was excellent, especially during a seasonal sale, and the quality is impressive. If you follow the directions and take care of this set, it’ll serve you well for years.
I hope this review helps you decide if it’s the right fit for your kitchen!
