Top class pans
I have an induction job and it’s been a bit of a pain having to find specific pans that work on that hob type, particularly as they always seem to be more expensive. We’ve tried stainless steel and the new “stone” type pans which are all horrible. We’ve had a tefal frying pan for years so I finally got fed up of trying to find a bargain set and swallowed the cost of these pans. I was expecting a good pan for the price they charge and I also loved the easy stacking idea.So far we have not been disappointed. Had them a month or so and they are head and shoulders over the last set we had which we returned to Amazon due to the poor performance.I think this is a case of getting what you pay for. The pans are all good sizes. The non stick is exceptional. I have followed the guidance from tefal and “prime” the pans with a light oiling once a month, but that effort is well worth it in the ease of cleaning. The food residue just falls off.The stacking is such a space saver and the removable handles are very secure and simple to attach or remove. The lids also don’t have those annoying handles that seem to collect water and scum in them which is another plus. The handles on the lids cleverly fold flat which adds to the storability.So far so good. I will update this review if anything changes but after 5 or 6 weeks these are performing perfectly. Couldn’t say the same for the Tower Cerastone ones we had to return after a few months.

Awesome Pots and Pans
Cannot say enough about how much we love these stackable Tefal induction pots and pans. The clip on, clip off handles are absolutely brilliant and perfect for tight kitchens. We've had no issue clipping the handles on and off, and have tossed the handles and pots in the dishwasher a hundred times without a problem. The handles quickly snap on to any section of the top of the pans, and locks in securely as if the handles were built onto the pans. When it's time for storage, everything stacks up in a small tower that would fit in even the tightest of kitchen. The non-stick surface has scratched a bit after a year of use, but we've noticed no impact on cooking or flakes of enamel in food. The pots work very well on induction stoves, heat quickly, cool quickly, and cook evenly. We've not had issues with anything sticking to the pans or discoloring, as all residue washes off easily with soap and water. Highly, highly recommend.

Brilliantly set of cookware.
These are a Xmas gift. We have has the same set for over 2 years. They are brilliant to use very easy to clean and great on an induction hob. They are only marginally slower to heat up than stainless steel pans etc. after 2 years they are unmarked- very sturdy and take up very little room when stacked. Just use soft separators between the pans when stacking In a cupboard.

Great set for a small kitchen with limited storage.
Such a great idea! Making the handle removable means you can fit so may pans into such a small space! These ones have a really robust teflon coating as well, so in addition to being truly non stick (even when dry-frying an egg, a test I've had many a cheaper 'non-stick' pan fail in the past), you can also use metal utensils for stirring and serving up. No knives though. That would just be silly.The handles are very solid, and clunk reassuringly into place when you lock it on. They can slide around the edge of the pan, but are totally secure for lifting even when the contents of the pan are quite heavy. They are also super easy to remove so you can swap the handle between pans or store them away. the lids are also stackable, as the handles fold flat when you place the lids one on top of the other, thus saving yet more space. The plastic lids are a good idea as well, but I must admit I have never used them for their intended purpose as yet. I tend to put things in containers before I put them in the fridge, but they are all a good fit so they would stop odors from drifting around and flavouring everything in the fridge I guess.A point to note; The largest of the lids included in this set is 26cm. If you want a lid for the frying pan, you will have to order it separately.I also find that these pans have definite 'hot spots'. The area in the middle is considerably hotter than the bits around the edge, but I don't know if this is due to the pan itself or the hob. I had the non-induction set of these pans before when I had a gas hob, and didn't have this issue then. I think it's more likely to be caused by my hob than by the pans themselves, but check other reviews to see if the same problem has occurred for other buyers.I think these pans are great both in terms of use and ease of storage. I like them so much I've bought them twice in both the induction and non-induction versions. I love the smart design, and would recommend them to anyone.
