Ballarini Click & Cook 5-pc Nonstick Cookware Set, Made in Italy

Total value for money. Its best to hand wash rather than dishwasher to maintain durability. I wish it was a set of 3 pots and came with cooking spoons.

The handles are cool the price is good

Own a lot of Ballarini cookware, but this is junk. Purchased it Oct 2023 and probably only used it less than 12 times. Purchased it with the handle that pops out and can be turned sideways for storage. Used it tonight and picked it up and the handle blew apart The button that locks the handle flew out with the spring that is part of it. Got a slight grease burn but a large grease mess on our stovetop. The products have always been good, but NEVER would I get one of these. Not sure about the warranty if any. Can't find a manufacture address or customer service department

These are all around outstanding pieces of cookware. If you're looking for space saving design, these really do have it. The side handles fold in and even the handles on the lids fold down. So if you're looking for something for your RV, these are great idea. But how do they cook? Really well! I can't believe how well they're working for me. I've tried a lot of cookware and up till this point I've been using a set of Kitchen Aid non-stick cookware I bought a couple years ago. But these pieces work so well, I find myself reaching for them more often than my others. The non-stick works so well, they wash up nicely in the dishwasher and the metal is actually pretty thick, so it's sturdy and cooks so evenly. This isn't just cookware that folds up. These are very nice pieces that cook food extremely well, clean up so easily and they just so happen to fold up for compact storage. These are great!

This kitchenware set is ideal for those with limited cabinet space. The handles fold in to make the pot and pan more compact, they also stack together nicely. You do want to make sure that you fully extend the handles before turning on the stove. I accidentally forgot one time and managed to damage one of the handles due to the heat for my gas range. I like that the lids feature a built-in spoon rest and that the parents themselves are relatively easy to clean.

5/6/2019 Update: When reviewed, this was described as ceramic cookware. I don’t recall mention that this is Keravis nonstick. I’ve now read Keravis coating is like Teflon and has PTFE. While this performs well, I personally avoid Teflon type coatings and am really disappointed as I thought the cooking surface was ceramic and had no idea it had a Keravis or Teflon like coating. I’ve adjusted my rating down from 5 to 3 stars. I’d give it a lower rating as I personally won’t cook with Teflon like coated pans with PTFE, but it does perform well and the lightweight, space saving design is nice. But I’m disappointed to learn this has a Teflon like coating. You can tell from my original review that I truly believed these had a ceramic cooking surface, not a Teflon like coating. Original Review: This 5-piece set of Ballarini nonstick ceramic cookware includes a 9.5” fry pan, 2.5 quart sauté pan with vented glass lid and 5.75 quart pot with a non-vented glass lid that also fits the fry pan. My primary cookware isn’t nonstick and is super heavy, so I like to keep a few good nonstick pieces in the kitchen that are lighter weight. This set looks great and has unique space saving folding handles. These pans are PFOA, heavy metal and nickel free and made in Italy. I covet European cookware as standards are typically quite stringent. Initially, these should be washed, dried and wiped with a high smoke point oil. When cooking, oil isn’t generally needed given the excellent nonstick properties. I’ve been using these Ballarini pans a few weeks on my gas stove and they conduct heat well with an aluminum body, so lower heat is all that’s needed. These pans are lightweight and easy to maneuver, but don’t have a flimsy or cheap look or feel. The plastic handles are easy to click in place and are comfortable. The frying pan handle has always stayed cool when I’ve used it, but the handles on the other pans get hot. The nonstick ceramic releases food easily. I use the fry pan for cooking a variety of items, such as frying eggs, making grilled cheese, searing and cooking meat, etc. Food browns and cooks evenly, and I can get a good sear on meat and a juicy steak without cranking up the flame high. The three pan sizes are versatile and cover most needs, whether sautéing vegetables, making spaghetti sauce, etc. My experience with ceramic cookware is that sharp tools, cooking at high heat, using cooking sprays and use of abrasive cleansers can ruin the surface quickly. They can last a number of years, but even cared for properly I haven’t found they have the longevity of stainless steel and some speciality cookware. So I’ve learned to treat them with care as I strongly prefer ceramic to nonstick anodized aluminum. I can’t say how these Ballarini pans will fare compared to other ceramic pans and I’ll update if I have issues, but they have a 5-year warranty and I’d be happy to get 5 years out ceramic pans that get regular use. I wash by hand, but these are dishwasher safe. I’m quite pleased with the easy clean up, attractive style, space saving design and performance. Ballarini is a Zwilling brand made in Italy. Love it. 5 stars.

I am not a cook so please keep that in mind. These are very nice pots and they appear to be made well. The quality seems like it is top notch. The pots are thick and the nonstick coating works as it should. I have not had anything stick to these pots yet which is so nice when I have to wash them. The handles are easy to grip and I LOVE that they fold down when storing them!! What a space saving idea! I look forward to buying other pots and pans from this brand. I am very happy with this cookware set.

This is a decent little three piece set. The non-stick surface works well (but so do all brand new non-stick pots and pans), and the sizes are nice. The frypan arrived with a broken handle - it's removable and one of the plastic tangs was apparently broken off during shipping. Certainty doesn't say much for the packaging, and for this price, I'm wondering why I'm dealing with plastic in the first place. I suppose I could super-glue it back in place or I imagine the manufacturer would offer a replacement if I were to request one. Still, it's bothersome and could have been avoided with an extra piece of cardboard. The foldable handles on the pots are handy insofar as they allow you to place the smaller pot within the larger one for storage, but as far as using them goes, they don't really fit into the hand well and overall feel kind of cheap. Considering what they're charging for this 3 piece set, I'd expect something a cut above the ordinary, but even with the broken piece aside, they seem extremely ordinary to me.
