Want to know the best cookware sets in 2025? Check out what our team is using and loving!
Good pots and pans make all the difference! 🍳
One of the purchases households tend to use the most is cookware sets so having a quality set that lasts is a necessity! If you’re in the market for new pots and pans and want them to last as long as possible, take a look at our team’s most recommended cookware sets. These durable sets are tried and true!
Here are our team’s picks for the best cookware sets of 2025:
1. Liz & Lina swear by our top pick, Hexclad cookware. It comes with a lifetime warranty!
Hexclad Hybrid Pots & Pans 12-Piece Cookware Set
Only $699 shipped (regularly $999)!
Hexclad may be on the pricier side, but you get the high quality you’d expect with such a hefty price tag. The company created some of the best non-stick cookware. It was designed to last and that’s why each set comes with a lifetime warranty!
This cookware can withstand temperatures up to 900ºF making it oven-safe and dishwasher-safe. You can even use it with metal utensils without scratching or damaging the pots and pans. 🙌
“As much as I was against spending so much on them, I’ve gotta say they live up to the hype. I don’t have to worry about my kids damaging them at all when they cook. I can use any cooking utensils I want on them and they go in the dishwasher just fine which is a huge plus. Also, if anything does go wrong with them you have a lifetime guarantee! They’ll just send you a replacement! It’s a big investment but I definitely think it was worth it after using them for the last 6 months, it’s the best set we’ve ever had.” – Liz, Hip2Save Sidekick
Individual HexClad Pots and Pans
Starting at $119!
If a full set of pots and pans isn’t in your budget, that’s okay! The company sells individual ones. Our team agrees that you often don’t need an entire set anyway. One or two good pans can be a game-changer in the kitchen!
“Hexclad is nonstick, oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, and you can use metal tools. You can sear food easily and it’s still nonstick. Mine look new years later. Pricey though and not for every budget. Maybe invest in one good frypan to try. I also don’t believe we need full sets all the time.” – Lina, Hip2Save Sidekick
Disclaimer: HexClad is currently facing a class action lawsuit for using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a forever chemical, on its cookware. We will keep our eye out for updates.
2. Sara’s favorite, Caraway, is our pick for the best ceramic cookware set of 2025.
Caraway 12-Piece Cookware Set with Magnetic Pan Racks
Only $395 shipped (regularly $595)!
Sara and several other team members including Liza, Emily, and Lina all have some Caraway cookware in their cabinets and speak highly of its durability.
The lack of forever chemicals is a key reason health-conscious Sara promotes these pots and pans. The non-stick ceramic is super effective without adding unwanted chemicals to your food. This cookware is also oven-safe up to 550ºF. She chose a neutral shade for her pots and pans but you can get your set in a variety of gorgeous colors!
The only con about Caraway is that it needs to be hand-washed and you should not use metal utensils on them. If you’re okay babying your pots and pans a bit, then this trendy cookware may be for you. For more information on Caraway, read Sara’s full product review!
“I am really happy with Caraway and know many people that have it now and agree it’s awesome!”– Sara, Hip2Save Sidekick
3. Alli says this Member’s Mark cookware set gives you the look of Caraway for less.
Member’s Mark 11-Piece Ceramic Cookware Set
Only $159.96 shipped!
You’ll get all the pots and pans you need with this affordable ceramic cookware set with stainless steel handles including a frying pan, a deep sauté pan, and 2 Dutch ovens. It’s safe to use with temperatures up to 450ºF. It’s also acceptable to use on a variety of ranges, so not only is it one of the best affordable cookware sets, but it gets our vote for the best induction cookware set too! No wonder Alli loves it!
“We love our HexClad pans too – no stress about ruining a pan whatsoever (although we still baby it even though we don’t need to! 😂 But I most frequently use the Member’s Mark Ceramic Cookware set and love it! It’s the Caraway look for less 😉. Super nonstick and has held up sooooooo well with consistent use. 🙌 Plus, the green color is even more stunning in person.🤩” – Alli, Hip2Save Sidekick

4. Ninja Neverstick is the brand for Cass (and Liz vouches for it too).

“I love the Ninja NeverStick line of cookware. You can cook over high heat, go from stove top to oven, and it’s pretty indestructible. Mine still looks new over a year later.” – Cass, Hip2Save Sidekick
5. Amber’s vote for the best stainless steel cookware set is Farberware. Hers has lasted more than 20 years!
Farberware 15-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set
Only $129 shipped (regularly $169.99)!
Wow! We’re impressed by the longevity of Farberware! Amber has had her set for 20 years and they were hand-me-downs! 🙌 These quick-to-heat pots and pans are some of the best induction cookware and are also appropriate for gas ranges and electric ranges.
You can find Farberware sets plus individual pots and pans at many popular retailers like Target, Walmart, Amazon. and more!
“Farberware is my favorite stainless steel cookware set. They last forever. I have two from my husband’s grandparents that they handed down when we got married almost 20 years ago in July. I bought a couple more randomly from Bed Bath & Beyond years ago with a sale and coupon. All still working well.” – Amber, Hip2Save Sidekick
If stainless steel isn’t your jam, try these Farberware deals instead:
Farberware Eco Advantage 13-Piece Non-Stick Ceramic Cookware
Only $89.99 shipped (regularly $119.99)!
Farberware Easy Clean 12-Piece Non-Stick Cookware Set
Only $47.97 shipped!
Honorable mentions are GreenPan and Calphalon (Paige says the high-end ones are worth it!):
“Green Pan is my favorite non-stick. I have two of them and find them most affordable from TJMaxx. I don’t have a ‘true set’ of anything. Just favorite pans and Farberware and Green Pan are my two fav brands.” – Amber, Hip2Save Sidekick
Hexclad is too expensive to have PTFE! Not worrh it at all!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 💕 According to HexClad’s site, their nonstick surface now uses a proprietary ceramic nonstick called TerraBond™, which is PTFE-free and free from forever chemicals. Hoping this helps clarify any concerns on this brand. 🤗
