BALLARINI Asti 10-pc Aluminum Nonstick Cookware Set with Metal Rim, Gray

My husband and I absolutely LOVE these Ballerini pots and pans! They cook food evenly, and are so easy to clean! We put them in the dishwasher occasionally, but they're very easy to hand wash. If the outside gets stained, we use a gentle Scotch scouring pad and the stain is erased like it was never even there! Hubby bought a set of these years ago and they were finally getting worn out, so I surprised him with another set for his birthday in January. We use these pans practically every day and are SO HAPPY with them! They're excellent quality, heavy, and feel very well made! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

The pots were fine, the handles would be slightly loose, and I could never get them to stay tight. I returned the set due to this. It wasn't a cheap set, and I expected the handles to be soldered. You can not get a good view of the website.

Will turn colors on you. Easily bent. In fact one pot was very bent. Not exactly what is shown in the picture.

I used to have the ceramic one and somehow thought this whole set is ceramic. Didn't read that they're Aluminum. They also don't have the temperature indicator like the ceramic on that I used before so I was a little disappointed. Been using this set for a month now and the great thing about this set is that the lids provided can be used with all the pots and pans in the set. At least one lid would fit, even though the number of lids don't match the number of pots and pans, which is fine in my opinion. Depends on your usage. Works great. Real non-stick. Easy to wash with just the normal kitchen sponge. Don't use metal scrubs cuz that would destroy the set. Overall, great buy for the price.

I buy these for the title as way too many things are made in places where labor is completed exploited. Although they are a touch lightweight, they do have a solid feel and they perform like one wants their non-stick stuff to.

Bought in November of 2023. Nonstick is pealing so bad on the edges I’ve had to throw away the two pots… I never use metal utensils and the bottoms have scratches. Wish I’d bought the BALLARINI with the speckles. I have one pan of that 5 years ago and it looks brand new.

I ordered this set for what I hoped would be Italian craftsmanship that is well know and expected. What I got was something a high-school kid could of made in metal shop. The handles where loose on 50% of the set. The metal was so thin that the 5qt pot was completely caved in despite only slight damage to the box. And I've been waiting almost 3 weeks for a refund despite the item being at its return destination for 5 days

I really like this set of pots and pans. They look good and they are very sturdy. The look off this set in the ad is more granular than the actual color which is a matte grey. Still, this is a beautiful set. It cooks evenly and is easy to clean. My favorite piece is the oversized stock pot. It is deep but it is also wider than usual. It is a great pot for a crawfish boil or for steaming crab legs. For less than $300, this is a steal. I highly recommend this set.
