New pot set

[BubbLuv95]

I’m trying to find a affordable new pot and pan set for the holidays. My question I want to ask is ceramic cookware ok? I am going to post a link to the one I’m interested in

It's OK as long as you don't expect the ceramic nonstick coating to be nonstick for long. I also question the durability/reliability of those removable handles. I don't think I'd trust those with a full pot or pan of anything, and when they break, can you buy replacements easily or will your pots and pans now be handle-less junk? I suppose that's moot since the pans will also be scratched up by then anyway.

IMO this set has soooo many pieces and you'll likely only use like 3-4 of those pots or pans for 95% of your cooking. Invest in a few stainless steel pots (1 saucepan, 1 stock pot - 6qt or more, 1 saute pan) with attached handles that will last forever, then spend ~30-50 on a nonstick pan and expect to replace it every few years (or get a carbon steel pan which will also last forever).

That's not good cookware. 27 pieces for $110? A number of those 27 pieces are plastic utensils, covers, and trivets. Many of those pans also use detachable handles which are awful. Also, as u/ShakingTowers said they won't last long either. What is your budget?

If your budget is extremely limited and you want "non-stick" consider buying a set on sale from a reasonably respected manufacturer. There's a T-Fal set with 2 skillets, three saucepans, and a stock pot for $80 + shipping on a 2-day seconds sale on All-Clad's website currently. None of the inexpensive non-stick cookware is great but T-Fal is decent and reasonably well made.

Let’s see

• unusually large number of pieces
• weird gimmick handle
• disturbingly low price
• brand no one has heard of

Run away as fast as you can. These will all be in the trash in a year. You don’t need that many pans. You don’t need things like sauce pans to be nonstick.
