Testers found that they got similar results when they cooked a frittata as well, noting that there was little sticking and that the pan offers a nice, even sear. Overall, the pan gave the shellfish an even, golden browning. The temperatures ranged from 350 to 400 to 334 around the pan, which means when you're browning meat or fish it's going to be evenly cooked without a lot of fuss.Īfter heating up one of the pans, testers cooked up several scallops and found they did not stick, had clean flipping, and were easy to remove from the pan. This set is oven safe to 500 degrees and during testing, the temperature of the pan stayed pretty even. According to testers, the cookware set feels durable and like it would last a long time.

Overall, the best stainless steel cookware set is the Cuisinart MCP-12N MultiClad Pro Triple Ply 12-Piece Set. The lids on this set aren't glass, so you'll have to remove them to take a look at what you're cooking. In addition to Gilson, we also consulted Chef Jason Santos and Mary Rodgers, head of marketing communications at Cuisinart. The testers were given a pre-determined methodology and were asked to evaluate each set based on four categories: heating capability, durability, design, and ease of cleaning. To find the best stainless steel cookware sets, four testers went to our lab in Birmingham, Alabama, and put 28 sets to the test over the course of five days.

Non-stick pans are nice for cooking but the finish can wear off and become a health hazard," says Will Gilson, chef and co-owner of Puritan & Company. "Stainless is good for long-term investment as the finish, when kept clean, will not deteriorate.

In addition to having a gleaming finish, stainless steel cookware sets are highly durable and can last a long time with the right care. Stainless steel pots and pans are a fantastic addition to your kitchen, whether you're just starting to build out your kitchen, or upgrading to a gorgeous new set.
