This is the best T-fal I have yet!! This Professional set is by far thicker and heavier than any of my other T-fal. The pans are nonstick and the bottoms are stainless steel. They have heavy glass vented lids, and cushion grip handles. Even the pan handles are put on sturdier with 2 rivets as opposed to most pans that have one screw that comes lose. I would definitely buy this professional line again. I've tried many brands of cookware and I love T-fal the best. I'm hard on my cookware because I cook and bake and can continually, T-fal holds up. I buy T-fal singly and in sets to add to what I have... I love it!

10/16/11 I am continuing to use my professional T-fal set and as much as I have used them, they continue to look new! They cook evenly and they clean up wonderfully. I love, love, love them!! I wouldn't trade them for anything else.

For less than $100 this set is very good value for money. If you have an induction cooktop, this is certainly one of the cheapest sets you can buy.

Pro's:

1/ Very good non-stick. I have had my set for over a year and they just wipe out with a dishcloth. They are dishwasher safe, although I rarely bother as it's so easy to do them by hand.

2/ Value for money with two frying pans, three saucepans plus dutch oven.

Con's:

1/ The pan's are small, which I mostly find useful, but you may find yourself wishing for a 12" frying pan and a 4 quart saucepan on occasion.

2/ The bases have warped on the 3 quart pan and the 10" fry pan. This is a minor annoyance on my induction cooktop, as perfect contact is unnecessary. My guess is that the same would be true for gas, but this would be an issue for those with regular electric cooktops.

I would probably buy t-fal again, but I would be tempted to upgrade to Circulon Infinite, which has much heavier bases not subject to warping. Basically you get what you pay for, as Circulon is considerably more expensive than t-fal.

We purchased this cookware after reading the above review stating that it works on induction cooktops AND after it came up under a search for "induction cookware". Well, after waiting way too long for this to arrive (it took acehardware outlet over a week to ship it out) we found that it does not, in fact, work on induction. The box itself states that it is "suitable for all heat sources except induction." They are hard anodized aluminum.

Overall, the cookware seemed nice enough nice comfy grips, not-too-heavy, and glass lids. They just aren't what we were hoping for.

Honest reviews on T-fal E938SA94 Professional Total Nonstick Oven Safe Thermo-Spot

I ordered this cookware because I have an induction burner and need this type of cookware. It is really good cookware, nice and heavy but not too heavy. I have bought T-Fal before but this set is much nicer. Cleans up well also. I recommend this cookware to anyone wanting non-stick cookware.

We have used T-fal cookware for many years. Our last set lasted 10 years and we donated it to charity and purchased a new set. What we like about T-fal is the quality and it seems to last forever. We love the glass lids so you can see what is in the different pots and what is going on in the pot. The venting system built into the lids for the steam outlet is perfect. The glass lids are rugged and sturdy and we have never broken one. The lids are made of tempered glass.

We always make sure to use nonmetal cooking utensils and this protects the finish in the cookware. The non-stick surface is just great and clean-up is easy on the inside and outside of the cookware. The cookware is rated dishwasher safe but we always hand wash ours and it looks new for years. The professional series of cookware features riveted silicone handles that are even oven safe up to 350° F.

I have seen several comments that this cookware can be used on induction stoves and this is not true. The bases of the pans are made of a stainless steel disc base over a heavy gauge aluminum base that provides even heating and cooking. This combination of materials is not magnetic and induction heating will not work with these pans. The combination of the stainless steel disc and the aluminum base provides anti-warping protection for your cookware.

The red thermo spot on the base of the pan is ideal to tell when the surface of the pan has been preheated to allow you to begin cooking to help seal in the flavor of your food. We just love these pans and would not use another brand as we have had such satisfactory results with this brand. It is a great set of cookware and I recommend it to you as a 5 star product.
