This ‘absolutely gorgeous’ 16-piece Carote nonstick cookware set is down to $100

Preparing homemade meals should be enjoyable, but scratched, gunky pots and pans can muck up the experience — and the food. The good news? You don’t have to spend a fortune on a new set. The pieces in this Carote Nonstick Granite 16-Piece Cookware Set have slick interiors that make them a breeze to clean, but what we’re really excited about is that the whole shebang is marked down to just $100 over Labor Day weekend.

Get unstuck with a set of smooth, easy-to-use pans. The white granite nonstick surface is PFOA-free (but it comes in black too if that’s more your style).

Why is it a good deal? 💰

This 16-piece cookware set has it all: You’ll get 9.5-inch and 11-inch frying pans, 1.7-quart and 2.4-quart saucepans with lids, a 4.3-quart casserole pot with a lid, a 6-quart casserole pot with lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan with a lid, three pan protectors and utensils, including a silicone turner, a set of tongs and a spoon. That’s all for $100 — less than you’d pay for a single pan from some brands. It’s also the same price as the brand’s 11-piece set, so you’ll get a little more bang for your buck.

Why do I need this? 🤔

We love nonstick pans for pancakes, eggs and fish — they make cooking easy and cleaning even easier. This Carote set is so nonstick and residue-proof that it wipes clean with a damp paper towel. Made from eco-friendly white granite, the pieces are PFOA- and PFOS-free. Plus, you can use them on any stovetop, including gas and induction.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 18,000 Amazon customers thought so highly of this cookware set, they gave it a five-star rating.

Pros 👍

“Not only do these look awesome, but they work great on my new electric flat-top stove,” wrote one happy home cook. “I actually got a great sear in one of the fry pans and I have to say, this is the most even heat and higher quality pan set I’ve had in a while.”

Another fan agreed: “Absolutely gorgeous. I bought them for my mom for Christmas and she is in love. She said they … are easy to clean. They look so high-end and luxurious.”

“Our pots and pans have to withstand being used for every meal, every day, for as long as possible,” shared a third shopper. “These pans handle the job. They have excellent heat distribution, are very easy to clean and don’t stain (as far as I can tell). I have made several meals with red sauces, curries and saffron rice (notorious for staining) and nothing has stained so far!”

Cons 👎

An otherwise-impressed reviewer lamented the fact that this set is solely for stovetop use. “My only complaint is that they can’t go in the oven. I occasionally like to be able to do this with some dishes I cook, but I now have to dirty a baking pan and have more to clean up.” That said, they added, “I am very impressed … I’ve had many different brands, and these have hit it out of the park.”

A final shopper wrote, “The only negative I can say about this product is … the surface can be prone to scratching; this is expected, and I’d highly advise not using any metal utensils and only use wood, silicone or high-temp plastic cooking utensils.”

Talk about a cut above: Over 12,000 Amazon reviewers have given this block of knives their five-star seal of approval. The set comes with a chef’s knife, bread knife, santoku knife, serrated utility knife, paring knife and six steak knives. Plus, you’ll also get a sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears and a stylish wooden block to house them all.

“Finally sharp (and safe) knives,” said one thrilled reviewer. “I have been used to ordinary knives until my brother, who is a chef, convinced me to upgrade to Henckels. I must admit I was a bit nervous at first, worrying about cutting myself, but the grip on these knives keeps my hands from slipping. They are extremely sharp and do a great job in the kitchen.”
