Good Housekeeping's best nonstick set: very slick, easy to clean and dishwasher-safe, and its coating survived a year of home use with metal utensils. It is oven-safe only to 400°F, and the outside of the pans scratched in testing.
Top complaints
- Exterior scratches
Good Housekeeping noticed light scratching on the outside of the pans, though it didn't affect performance.
Source: Good Housekeeping - Low 400°F oven limit
Food & Wine counts the 400°F temperature limit against it; Good Housekeeping also lists 400°F.
- Not the best value anymore
Food & Wine says a cheaper, more durable ceramic set (Quince) displaced it as its best-value pick.

What owners love
- Highly nonstick and easy to clean
Good Housekeeping says eggs slid right out and barely needed a sponge; Amazon owners praise the non-stick surface and easy cleaning.
- Coating held up over a year
A Good Housekeeping analyst used the set at home for more than a year, including metal utensils, with no chipping or scratching of the coating; it held up in the dishwasher.

What experts say
- Good Housekeeping: Best nonstick (August 2026): highly nonstick, easy to clean, coating held up over a year; the outside scratched lightly.
- Food & Wine (nonstick sets): Another great value (10-piece version): helpful features and a coating that beat Circulon's pricier C1, but a 400°F limit and a cheaper set it likes better.
