T-Fal Professional Cookware 10-pc. Set- Black Review
I bought this T-Fal Professional Cookware set locally at a smokin' sale price several months ago and have been very favorably impressed with it - it provides a decently even temperature across the bottom of the skillet/pot and washes (by hand, of course!) very easily. What many do not know is that T-Fal introduced non-stick cooking to America back in the late 60's (or was it 1970?). Yes, I'm that old and I still remember the excitement of my first non-stick skillet! I've owned various brands of low to mid-range priced cookware over the years and I keep coming back to cookware made by T-Fal or Wearever. Now, I've learned they have merged -so I'll be interested to see how that works out. In the meantime, our family just took a LEAP INTO THE FUTURE of cooking by buying a Max Burton Induction Cooktop (by Athena). Thought this was better than spending ,000+ for a new 4/5 burner induction cooktop to replace our dying 70's ceramic cooktop. This gives us a chance to see if we like induction cooking while also watching the prices drop. I will review the Max Burton on Amazon after I've used it for a couple of weeks as it's sold here also. BUT, IMAGINE MY DELIGHT to find that this particular set of T-Fal cookware works on INDUCTION COOKTOPS! Oh, happy day! (FYI - the jumbo fryer sold separately, unfortunately, does not.) I recommend this set to anyone who is realistic about their expectations of cookware in this price range and to those who are willing to give their cookware TLC - no metal utensils or scrubbers - no soaking - bubblewrap between the pieces when storing. Yes, I'm a bit of a fuss-budget but, as a result, I don't have to replace my cooking gear that often which leaves a little money now and then to splurge on newer, innovative gadgets I see here on Amazon all the time! Good luck with your decision making!

10 Pc T-Fal Professional Cookware - querice13 - Wisconsin
I bought this set for my sister for Christmas at her request. She has had T-Fal her entire adult life and would not live without it. She has just confirmed it is a great product and she wants the stock pot also. Spoiled girl!!

Product was as stated when we recieved it. We have always tried to buy and use T-Fal when we could. Vendor did deliver product when they said they would. We are very happy with them and will buy from them again.
Does NOT work on induction cooktops - Abby McNeil - San Jose, CA
We purchased this cookware after reading the above review stating that it works on induction cooktops AND after it came up under a search for "induction cookware". Well, after waiting way too long for this to arrive (it took acehardware outlet over a week to ship it out) we found that it does not, in fact, work on induction. The box itself states that it is "suitable for all heat sources except induction." They are hard anodized aluminum.
Overall, the cookware seemed nice enough - nice comfy grips, not-too-heavy, and glass lids. They just aren't what we were hoping for.
Wonderful to cook with, and long lasting - Wings42 - San Diego, CA United States
This set was featured at Costco about 10 years ago. Since I do most of the cooking in our house, I splurged on what was a quite costly set for us and have been more than happy with it.
Plusses:
- With this featured set plus a Wearever 3 liter deep skillet, and a Wearever wok (all came with the Costco set), I always have the right size cookware for any stove top job.
- Heavy metal bottoms distributes heat better than any cookware I've ever owned, including top of the line RevereWare.
- The Teflon coating is extremely tough, long lasting, and very non-stick. Unlike another reviewer here, I've not babied the Teflon coating in any way, including stirring with metal utensils. Yet only the two saucepans are ready for replacement after about a decade of heavy use,
- The handles stay cool.
- All the pieces are extremely well balanced. They "feel right".
- Pan lids fit the skillets.
- The lids can be hung from hooks with their "U" shaped handles .
Minuses:
- It's hard to find the two replacement pieces, a 2 liter and a 4 liter saucepan. I really don't want any other brand because I know these are great. If I have to buy a whole new complete set so be it.
- I couldn't live without the wok for stir-fry and deep skillet for simmering pasta sauce or making chicken cacciatore. To me, this set isn't quite complete without them. Kohl offers a bigger set under the T-Fal name.
If you buy this set, you'll be happily living with it for a very long time.
