CAROTE 31PCS Pots and Pans Set

I’ve been cooking on these pots and pans for about 3 weeks now. I currently use them on an electric glass top range but will be switching to induction soon. Will edit when that happens.I did get these on sale for Black Friday ($179.99) and that’s as much as I would pay for them personally.The nonstick is flawless. No complaints. Works great.The color is very nice. I haven’t gone over every single pot with a fine tooth comb, but unlike the other reviews may say, I haven’t seen a single blemish in the paint yet. They heat up fast and evenly cook. Easy to clean. They come with the felt savers which I use to store them. The handles are some sort of composite like material? I didn’t love that at first but they’re growing on me. They fit nicely in the hand and are easy to grip. Overall, a great set for what I paid for them.

**I purchased the 31 piece nonstick cookware set for anyone who is curious about which specific product I’m reviewing.**Of the hundreds of Amazon products that I’ve purchased over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever left an instant review as soon as I opened a package, but I am thoroughly impressed with the initial visual and tactile quality (and I have expensive taste, despite wanting cheap prices, lol).Everything came well wrapped with bubble packaging, felt separator liners and cardboard wrapped handles. The pots and pans tags even had individual tags attached with ball chain strings instead of plastic fasteners. The shipping box even had an additional thicker cardboard panel on the interiors walls to provide extra protection from potential in transit damage.The pans also come with built in colanders in the lids which is something I haven’t seen before. The ONLY things that could be improved in my opinion is the material of the handles, the wisk size, and the utensil storage cylinder material.While the handles do seem to have some sort of coating to minimize them getting too hot I think silicone handles would have been better for grip and preventing heat transfer while cooking. The wisk handle is half the length of the other utensils so it seems like it doesn’t go with the others AND the cylinder countertop storage container is plastic and doesn’t match the quality of the set overall. I feel like I got a $400 cookware set that came with a dollar store utensil holder if that makes any sense.But those are my only complaints so far and none of them are significant enough to warrant a return considering everything else. The final verdict is still out obviously, since I haven’t actually used or washed the pans yet, but if the wire resistance is anything like the initial presentation, I don’t expect there to be any issues. And if there are, the great thing is that they offer a year long warranty on the products.If you’re looking for a quality set of pots and pans that have an expensive look and feel with a reasonable price tag, look no further. Mine were just delivered today and I’m already back on their store page shopping for a set for my mom for Christmas because she loved them also.

I specifically bought this cookware set because of the color and variety of sizes to fit my needs better than my previous pots and pans. These look better than the stainless Magma set I’ve been using for years, only without the ability to nest into two stacks. Since these handles aren’t detachable they eat up more storage space in a cabinet until I can decide what to do with them long-term… if I keep them.Packing: well packaged with a bit of overkill. Honestly, did the already well-packaged box need to be stuffed into another 25% bigger box with nothing to keep it from bouncing around inside of it? Seems like a waste of cardboard but at least everything arrived in one easy to unpack piece.Immidiately after unpacking my new $300 cookware set I noticed coating issues. I’m not referencing the actual cooking surface but instead the painted surface. I ordered the brown set and right from the start saw a few small yet obvious flaws with either the paint’s application or small spots where things rubbed together during shipping.I absolutely hate buying something only to have it arrive flawed, regardless of why it happened. I suspect that I was potentially sent previously returned items. Anyway, I’m less than impressed with part of the visual appeal I’d hoped new pots and pans would give me for my upgrade efforts.Since I gave up on Prime and am now a filthy casual purchaser, I didn’t get to take advantage of the 50% off Prime deal. Based on my initial experience with just getting the stuff out of the box and seeing it already marred I would say that it *is not* a good value at the full retail price. Would I be more willing to overlook the coating issues if I’d paid $199? Probably so, because that would fit this cookware set into the same bracket as higher-end Walmart stuff, which I don’t expect as much out of.Anyway, I’m sure it’ll be servicable kit until I find a replacement. I just feel like I wasted a lot of time (ordered Aug 6 – arrived Aug 28) for something that doesn’t fit my standards or expectations.***Edit 9/5/25***The manufacturer reached out and offered a full refund. I’m not sure whether that means returning the full set or not, but either way I’m not in a position to return anything since I’m away from home for a month and likely outside of any reasonable return window. I added a star to my previous 3-star review to reflect their communication efforts.To be fair, I used the set heavily over Labor Day weekend and, aside from the non-cooking surface coating flaws, everything worked great. As advertised, clean-up was easy, nothing stuck to the pans or pots, and I was able to tailor my cooking layout better since I had more cookware to choose from. I’m still not satisfied with the quality of the external coating but I’m less disappointed by it now.I still plan to purchase another set, however.*** Edit 9/5/25 Part Two***The manufacturer contacted me again offering a full refund without shipping the pots and pans back. I declined to accept their offer since I’m not comfortable paying nothing for what is, aside from coating issues, a great set of cookware.They obviously care about their customer’s experience and if you’re considering this cookware set I’d say with more confidence now that it’s a good deal, especially if you have Prime. They’ve proven to me that they’re communicative and want customers to know that they stand behind their products.I’m leaving my review at 4 stars but if I could give their customer service a separate rating it would be 5 stars.

The set is sooo beautiful. I couldn’t help wanting to take advantage of a brand new pots and pan set for a huge discount on Black Friday. When the items arrived it was carefully and neatly packaged. I was so ready to open it all and wash them a truly out them to the test! First test was the egg test to see if this was truly nonstick—it didn’t pass the test without oil on the pan. Being a huge Tfal fan for years and years I wanted to see if carote brand would be similar. With the tfal you don’t need any oil on the pan and everything just falls right off. Now fast forward to using some oil on the carote pan..it was perfect!didn’t stick and was easy to clean. I had switched over to the carote because they have such beautiful color variety. The heat distribution I will say on a gas stove is evenly! I’m not quite sure how long this set will last me. After first use already I’m seeing some color coming off a few of the pans from testing the product and putting them away into the cabinet .So this is one of the flaws for sure! Be really careful on a gas stove. Bumping it around too much may cause more color chipping off. For the price and for how many pans you get this was a great buy. Giving it a 3 star just because I’m really not sure how long it’ll last me with the color starting to chip.12/09 UPDATEupdating my review to 5 star. Although there is color chipping the company reached out to offer a refund on the product. They definitely stand by their product. Color chipping isn’t a big thing more so a cosmetic flaw. The pan itself is game changer!! It truly is non stick and cleaning it is an easy process. I did not reach out to the company. They read the reviews and reached out immediately. I plan on buying another set from them!
