- Kitchen Academy Induction Cookware Sets - 12 Piece Cooking Pan Set, Granite Black Nonstick Pots and Pans Set

I purchased the hammered black set. I was looking for an inexpensive set that my family could use. I'm happily shocked to say that performance wise, they are on par with my Hexclad set, at a fraction of the price. The sear on my steaks was almost as good, although a higher temperature was required with these pans vs my Hexclad. Truly nonstick, I just made strawberry preserves last night and it was a breeze. No scorching or sticking. I soaked the pot for 30 minutes in hot water and everything wiped right off. Eggs, no problem. Enchilada sauce, perfect. No hot spots at all. They are heavier than expected. I'm not the biggest fan of the look of a granite finish, but I love the color and look of the hammered finish and I couldn't be happier with the results of my finished product. As of now, 1 week of use, I see no scratches or signs of wear. Time will tell on that aspect.

We really like these pots and pans. They are very solid, heat well, and the higher sides on the pans are quite handy. They are non-stick and easy to clean in addition to being very attractive. Would buy again.

I’m really impressed with the quality and design of the Kitchen Academy cookware set. The pots and pans heat evenly, cook food beautifully, and are very easy to clean. The nonstick surface works great and makes cooking with less oil much easier. The handles feel sturdy and comfortable, and the entire set looks modern and elegant in the kitchen. I also appreciate that the pieces are lightweight without feeling cheap. So far, everything has held up very well with daily use. This set is perfect for anyone looking for stylish, functional, and reliable cookware at a great value. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

This 12 piece beautiful color cookware set has made cooking at home feel much easier and more enjoyable. The pans heat evenly , so nothing burns on one side while staying raw on the other. I especially love how effortlessly food slides off the nonstick surface. Cleaning up after dinner is no longer a chore. Also it is scratch resistant . The set looks sleek on the stovetop, and the different sizes mean I always have the right pan for whatever I am making. Overall, it is a great upgrade for anyone building a cozy functional kitchen.

Love these pots, easy to clean, just not able to put in dishwasher . Love the color too!

Quality! Sturdy, non-stick, beautiful set.

Love the colour. Fantastic pots, so easy to clean.

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.

latest addition to my kitchen, works well, using silicone utensils now as to not scratch everything

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.
