TramontinaCookware Set Ceramic 8-Piece, 80110/219DS

I love cooking, it's one of my passions. So obviously I go through a lot of non-stick pans. I also always buy non-stick pans with non-toxic coating, and I feel like I've tried most of what is out there, ceramic, water based, etc. So far, my experience is that around after a year of owning a non-stick pan, the non-stick feature is lost, and most food tends to stick to the pan, ESPECIALLY eggs! Actually eggs are a complete nightmare when the non-stick is not new anymore. So I kind of just accepted that with the amount of cooking that I do, I have to buy a new non-stick pan every year.A friend of mine, who is a chef, suggested to try the Tramontina one, as its one of the best out there, so I ordered one on Amazon.The Tramontina has a ceramic coating, so it's super safe. Another thing that impressed me is that they offer a lifetime guarantee on it, with obvious exceptions of abuse and improper use. So hopefully if they feel confident enough to offer this warranty, maybe the pans are built to last longer?Obviously only time will tell. As of right now I only had this pan for less than 3 months, so it's too early to tell if this pan is different than the others. After a year I will update this review to reflect the performance of the pan at the critical 1 year mark.What I can say so far is that this non-stick has probably the best non-stick surface of all the ones I've tried. It's so slippery that most things you could easily cook without any oil or fat and they would not stick! It also feels good in the hand, it's nicely built, the silicon handle feels great, and the weight is just right, not too heavy, not too light.So far I'm quite impressed with this pan so I feel like it deserves 5 stars. Will see how it goes after one year!01/24/2016 Update: the nonstick pan has unfortunately lost a good amount of the nonstick quality. Re-seasoning the pan with oil temporanely solves the problem but it doesn't last very long. I would still say it's probably one of the best nonstick pans I bought, but I decided to remove one star because it's not even a year and I have to keep reseasoning it otherwise the food will stick.01/29/2017 2nd Update: I now refer to this as the 'STICK pan' because everything sticks to it, so even though I handled it with kid gloves (using only the soft side of the sponge to wash it, not the scrubber side, avoiding thermal shock, using only silicone spatulas, etc...) it's pretty much useless as far as nonstick goes. It was a fantastic pan for about 6 months or so, and slowly got worse until about the year mark when it became crap. At this point, reseasoning does nothing to improve it. Guess it's time to search for a new nonstick.7/15/2017 3rd update: I really don't know what to make of this pan. After everything started sticking to it like crazy, I realized that I'd just have to buy another. Out of desperation, I started using butter (instead of olive oil) to fry things, until I had time to get myself another pan. Once I switched to butter, nothing sticks anymore, not even eggs! It's almost like it's a different fry pan now. I've never heard that butter worked better than olive oil, and I don't understand how butter could possibly have made such a huge difference, but it did! I haven't made the switch back to olive oil, because I'm afraid things will start sticking again. For now, I fry only in butter, and the pan works well. I raised it back to a 5 star rating with this new development (from a 3 star). If things start sticking again, I'll change the rating accordingly. Has anyone else had a similar experience when frying with butter vs. oil? I really don't get it.

I bought this pan a little over a year ago. I cured it as directed and have used it with great care. It began scratching using non scratch utensils and it also started sticking, despite repeated curing. The "Lifetime Warranty" is meaningless as it does not cover "normal use" only "defects". Is a pan advertised as non-stick and non-scratch that does scratch and stick not defective?Only buy this if you want to pay $35 for a pan that only lasts about a year. I would never buy another Tramontina product.

Revised review: Nov 30, 2015: I have only used this pan for a little over two months. I originally loved this pan. Unfortunately, it has not lasted. The pan now has small chips both on the inside and the outside of the pan. The chips on the outside bottom of the pan are especially unacceptable, because we have a ceramic cooktop and the chipped surface will scratch the cooktop. I have used this pan regularly, but wash was it by hand. It has never been in the dishwasher. Also, we use it gently for just two people. Since this was made in Italy we expected it to be high quality - but it is not. The non-stick surface has also worn off. Very disappointing.Original review Sept 2015: Love this pan and lid! This high quality pan is very well made. It cooks perfectly and cleans up beautifully. It is a perfect size. You can cook a large meal or a small meal. It is worth every penny. Made in Italy means high quality.

Seriously, I have been trying to find a good fry pan that cooks and cleans without to much trouble. This pan is incredible. Follow the directions for preparing pan with small amount of cooking oil and your eggs will slide off the pan like cars on ice. Cleaning the pan is the next best thing to cooking, wipe with paper towel. A small amount of cooking oil or (butter) and you can saute with ease. Careful to not slide your food onto the stove when you are cooking. I am Arthur Ramirez and I approve this message. No Campaign money was used..

There is a copper set and a red set in this collection. As you can see in the pictures, this 10" skillet is not copper, it is from the red set. The copper skillet is the one on the left. That's the only reason that I gave this 3 stars instead of 5. I don't know if the wrong color was in the box because the box does not say the color, or if the vendor listed the wrong color. Having said that, I didn't bother to return it even though I want to.I love Tramontina Ceramic 01 pans and I have had an entire set in the platinum color for well over five years. All of my sauce pans and soup pot are still like new. The skillets in 12" and 10" have finally worn out. So, I bought a new 12" (the copper colored skillet in the picture on the left) that came with the lid, and a new 10" (that was supposed to be the copper color).If you want some cookware, I highly recommend Tramontina Ceramic 01. It is fabulous. You could pay a lot more for cookware but you don't need to; this is a good quality set. If you season the cookware before the first use as instructed, and season them about once every month or two (which should be in the directions but is not) this set will last you a long time. I season my skillets after every use as I would with cast iron and they still function like brand new for years and stains don't occur. I hope that helps you decide.

The pan is much bigger then I thought it would be! I love it like that!! I Adore the Rounded corners... One thing I kind of didn't like at first, is that it was a red shade around the outside of the pan. But since then I've ground to like it But its So diappointing to think you will get, a true copper oolor and wind up with red!!! I won't be buying any more of the companies products. But I wish they would make one that has No grill marks!

Great pan. We do enjoy it every day.
