Nuwave Healthy Duralon Blue Ceramic Nonstick Cookware Set, PFAS Free

ETA: I have not been the best caretaker of these pans, but I have used them several times and I must say they still look unused. I have bumped this up to five stars. I've only had these for about a month and I've used all but the Dutch oven. Light use, only cooking for myself and I use my cast iron pan or toaster oven frequently, so these are not getting heavy or daily use. Solid weight, heat is evenly distributed, the surface is very non-stick and cleans up easily. The lid is a little trickier to clean, but it's the same issue I've had with every glass lid, so nothing unusual there. The lid handles do get hot, also not unusual or unexpected for this type of handle. The panhandle does not get hot. The Dutch oven lid fits on the frying pan, something I didn't have with my last set. The frying pan is smaller than I expected. I knew it wasn't 10 in but I hoped it wouldn't make that much of a difference. It does. So far that's my only complaint. I make popcorn on the stove rather than in the microwave or an air popper and a good solid pan is your best bet for something like that. My last set of pans were okay. Not great, but acceptable. These were perfect. I used the larger saucepan since I only wanted one serving. Popcorn was nice and fluffy and crunchy, even after adding butter. Haven't had that in a while. Right now these look exactly like they did when I pulled them out of the box. For my last few sets of ceramic pans, I couldn't say the same, even after only a month.

I've had this product for a year now. I use them every day and they still look and cook like new. Nothing sticks and even the bottom of pans look great--rarely have to scrub them even tho seems to be of aluminum. No chips or scratches have occurred, interior or exterior. I wash by hand, it's a breeze. I did have a mild build-up in the small fry pan but warmed it with water and baking soda and all came up easily. It still makes scrambled eggs that slide right out. I really love these pans as they are holding up very well and are a healthier choice (what I was looking for). I like them so well that I actually bought a second set for when we have a lot of company. They are a great value and I would highly recommend--it's a USA company!!!

Let me just start this review by saying I had extremely low expectations about this cookware set. In fact, I really only bought it for the "Deep Blue" color. My intention was to buy a better, more expensive set next year and this was just a placeholder until that time. I was already disappointed when I opened the box and pulled out the first pan, the "Deep Blue" does not match pics. At least not to my eyes. I contemplated not even using them and just sending them back. Then I came to my senses and decided to give them a try, because the color alone is not going to make meals any better. And I'm glad I did. The standard test for all nonstick pans is eggs. I pre-heated the pan with medium heat on my glass top stove, threw a pat of butter in, and cracked the egg. Let me tell you...this pan is SLIPPERY. I definitely used too much butter, but only because that's what I was used too with other pans. This pan needs less. I didn't have to add any butter for the second egg, there was still too much. Both eggs just slipped around the pan like you see on commercials for every nonstick pan, no resistance whatsoever. These were some of the best looking eggs I've ever cooked. And after I was done, I let the pan cool on the stove top before washing it with some Dawn soap and a sponge. It cleaned right up and didn't even look like I had used it. So far, I've made a few more over easy/medium eggs, scrambled eggs (which do get stuck to the metal tabs, but I'm not going to knock points for that, those aren't nonstick), shrimp, and quesadillas. Cheeses don't even stick, they just slide right off. And cleaning is a breeze. Even though they are labeled as dishwasher safe, the instructions do say it could lessen the life of the surface material, so I just follow the directions and handwash them with a mild soap and a soft sponge. They clean up so dang easy that it only take a minute. There is no scrubbing. I even got the pot and pan protectors so I could stack them all properly without scratching the surfaces. This is without a doubt the best cookware set I've ever owned. 5 stars all day.

Update 8 months later: the pan I use the most, has finally started to show signs of wear and it’s not as non stick as it used to be. Also a huge warning! DO NOT get egg on them because it will completely peel the paint off! It was my first time using the small frying pan to make eggs and a bit of the egg got on the side of the pan, when I went to wash it, the entire area peeled off!!!! Very upsetting bc I have tried my best to take care of them but they are extremely fragile! I am only taking off one star because they do have great customer service and they are under a one year warranty. I did reach out to Nuwave on the two issues with the pots and the replaced them right away. They just need a few pics and your order number! *****Original review:They’re beautiful but the white ones get scratched very easily and very noticeable. They came with a few defects but I kind of expected it. It still is frustrating to deal with because you expect perfection spending so much for a pots and pans set but the Nuwave customer service was amazing and they are sending replacements to replace the ones that are the most noticeable. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and they do come very well packaged! They feel sturdy and very good quality! Editing to add a few more pics of me cooking with them yesterday. They did really well but I really suggest reading all of the instructions regarding heating and the amount of heat they can take oh, and pre heating!! I followed the instructions and had no issues! Also, I recommend not stacking them when storing them to prevent scratches. Update after one month: I have cooked for us and for our dogs with this entire set. The pan I use the most recently is the frying pan as I use it for our dogs’ steaks. After cooking with them so much, they still remains spotless and non stick! I absolutely love them and do not regret purchasing at all!! Again, I highly recommend reading all instructions, I have been preheating on very low heat before adding oil or anything in to cook and it’s been working for us. I also let them completely cool before even thinking about washing them which is hard for me because I want to wash everything right away but they can warp if they are washed while still hot!

Excelente set of pans. Non toxic, heavy construction, carries heat beautifully!!!! Easy to wash!!! All around great product!! Highly recommend!!!!

This is excellent cookware very even cooking all the way around and nonstick.

Love these pots and pans. They say you can put them in dishwasher but i won't. I'm fussy about things I love. They are very non stick. Clean up nicely. I got the blue. Would buy them again.

Reviewing after 1 year of use. The set was well-made and struck a good balance between weight and ease of handling. There are several issues that are concerning, however. In this price range, I have an expectation that finish and non-stick properties are going to be reasonably durable. These were not. The frying pans in particular lost their non-stick properties within about 3 months, during normal usage with good habits to preserve the ceramic coating. The small frying pan had to be replaced, as it became entirely unsuitable for cooking eggs in that time frame. The large saucepan showed significant inside chipping around the rim in spite of hand washing. The handle design is problematic - sharp edges, which while stylish are not practical. When the pots and pands are heavy and filled with food/liquid, the handles cut uncomfortably into the hands. All in all, not bad, but not really that good either.

I did love this set and the quality is excellent, except for the outside finishing. We took good care of the set and even changed the dishwasher detergent to a natural, chemical-free, biodegradable and non-abrasive product. However, around 2 weeks after receiving them, they started to show chips that I don’t even know where they came from, as we have been taking care of them with all the special treatment that I never did with any other pan in our lives. I thought about asking for a replacement, but this wouldn’t resolve my problem as the scratches would appear again due to the poor finishing quality, so I unfortunately had to return it.

Very good sturdy handles

Very nice

👍👍

Ya tengo casi 1 mes con la compra y está muy contenta!! Calientan rápido, utilizo muy poco aceite y al terminar dejo que se enfríe la olla o sartén y al lavar se despega la comida sin batallar, además del diseño y color tan bonito aunque estuve dudosa si llegaría metálica por la imagen que tiene pero llegó el baby blue así que todo muy bien!
