T-Fal Ingenio Cookware Sets

Pros: great cookware set
Cons: a bit expensive

I have always liked TFal cookware. Recently the 20 piece Ingenio Armaral set was on sale at a local store and I bought myself a great present. I use this cookware every single day, and when I do there is a smile on my face! This set is unbelievable....

Pros: It says it's NON STICK and it is!
Cons: A little pricey but well worth the money.

Looking for cookware that says it's NON STICK and actually is NON STICK??? Look no more for T-Fal Ingenio is the cookware for you. After not receiving my T-Fal set for a wedding gift my husband and I found T-Fal Ingenio and bought it. This is the best...

Pros: Ingenio set stacks; lids fit entire set;  plastic lids makes set multi-purpose; removable handles. 
Cons: There are "CONS"? I don't think so. I feel sorry for others who say so.

I received my Ingenio set, as a gift, back in 2001. I have had no problems with mine, whatsoever. The handles are still strong, after all these years, and have never opened up, when I didn't want them to. My Ingenio set has been through a lot, as I have shared my home, (and Ingenio set), with several different friends and family who have stayed with me. Some of the non-stick surface has been gouged, sliced through, etc. by others who didn't seem to care, since the pots and pans were not theirs. Still, those wonderful cooking utensils are doing their work, admirably. I will not give them up, throw them out, nor anything else, because I see myself using them until I can't cook, anymore. I know I can't "take" my T-Fal Ingenio set with me,when I die, but I sure can will them to someone who will love them, as much as I do. I just wish there was some way I could re-surface them...then, they'd be as good as new, again! Thank you, T-Fal, for my wonderful Ingenio set!

Pros: I have cooked brownies to roasts in them and have NEVER had any problems.
Cons: The ONLY downside is the storage lids. A bit stiff but they will go on.

I was given this set as a Christmas present over 10 years ago and I have been using them ever since. I don't know what these other people have been using the set for. I have given them (sets) as shower gifts and everyone has been amazed as to the versatility of them. Never a complaint. I am getting ready to purchase another set for a friends bridal shower.

Pros: removable handles, universal lids
Cons: don't make them anymore :(

We've had a set of these for six years and have worn them out. We're now looking for another set but apparently they don't make them. Removable handles make for easy storage in our small apartment's kitchen. Never had a handle slip or let go and I've moved plenty of full boiling pots. Apparently they don't make then anymore though, can't find them anywhere.

Pros: -Great for small kitchens -Able to use in oven
Cons: None.

I have had this set for over 6 years and I love them. I originally bought them on the T-Fal site, but I don't think they carry them on that anymore. It takes a while to master opening the handles, but other than that I have never had a problem. The non-stick coating has held up well and the outside of the pots still looks great. I love being able to pop off the handles and use them in the oven, and I also like the plastic lids for storing in the fridge. I only wish I could find a bigger saucepan/skillet. For anyone with a small kitchen these are a great find.

Pros: Removable handles, covers, and they nest. Fantastic! Removable handles, covers, and they nest. Fantastic!
Cons: I have no cons. The pans are everything they are touted to be.

I bought a set of Ingenio pans several years ago and I liked them so well, I bought a set for every member of my family.
(6 sets) and then I bought myself 2 backup sets, in case anything happened, I'd have extra pans.

Guess what?

Nothing ever happens to thses pans. They are basically indestructible, with very little effort required on the part of the user.

I threw out a complete set of Circulon pans because I never used them again after I bought the Ingenio.

Pros: Storage.
Cons: Peeling non-stick coating, loose handles, overall poor quality.

I thought this product was ingenious!! Well, the concept is...the production is NOT!


Like everyone else, the handles pop off and the non-stick coating peels off. I have had this set for about 2 years now and have never even used the large stock pot, yet the coating is peeling off it it!! On every other item that has been used, food sticks like glue!!!

I do NOT recommend this product. It is poorly constructed and can actually be dangerous if the handle comes off unexpectedly!!

Pros: Removable handles, plastic lids for leftovers stored right in the pan and easy clean-up.
Cons: The non-stick surface wears out as it does on non-stick pans after years of use.

I've never had a problem with my Ingenio pots except that I need a new set now due to using them constantly for many years since they came out and they've just plain worn out. I have NEVER not been able to put the handles on and they have NEVER come off. They are easy to put on and easy to remove by just pressing the button. I have never had splatter come out of the holes on the tops of the lids (that reviewer must have had her sauce turned way up on high for that to even happen). I love that plastic lids come with the pots, too. You can cook a meal, have leftovers, put the plastic lid right on the pot/pan and put in the fridge. Then you can warm up in the same pot/pan. INGENIOUS!

Pros: Ease of storage, even heating, easy clean-up, plastic storage lids handy.
Cons: Largest skillet could be 12" instead of 11"

I have had my Ingenio cookware for over 5 years and I think they are great. I live aboard a boat year round and while we have a good amount of storage space any space saving device is a god send. I have never had trouble with the handles not attaching or detaching when I wanted them to. I have used them so much the coating is beginning to wear off on a few pieces and will definitely try to replace them.

Pros: Easy storage, flexible use (has storage lids for the fridge), versatile...
Cons: The lid does not provide cover without venting, as there are air holes in them...

I have owned this set for just under 10 years...it is the ONLY way to go if you are a full-time RV-er, or if your living accommodations do not allow for a lot of storage. The set is so useful to me that after all of these years I am trying to locate another one. Through lots and lots of trips, temporary stays here and there, and use by a young adult one of the pans is missing, and one is bent out of shape. It is still usable, though. I am pleased to know that I may possibly locate another set. It is not a top of the line set, but for its ease of use and flexibility I rate it 5 stars...it fills its niche in the cooking world!

Pros: Stores easily; handles are a snap to use. My handles stay cool with use.
Cons: Edge of lids dents easily, but can be formed back into shape.

After 6 year of using the one quart pot on a daily basis, I will soon need a replacement but can't find it on sale anywhere! The bottom non stick has mostly worn off. All other parts of the set still are in excellent condition. Did have to order new handles after 4 years when they lost their holding power. If anyone have information when I can order replacement pot or parts, please let me know!

Pros: I need the covers and the hangles
Cons: who help me?

This cookware are a very nice experience in the kitchen there are very goo; to cook non stick. But i lost the cover and the hangles cookware when i moved..to another home. what can i do.??? someone know that?
