This product may say its made in Italy but the stickers on it say made in China. Boo. When I contacted them for answers i had to leave a message and of course, never got a call back. Aside from that, the coatoings on the pots and pans were rippled and chipped. One of the pots was mishapened i'm assuming during shipping. Just poor quality and dishonesty all around. Sending them back asap.

DON'T BUY!!!! After much searching I purchased a complete 10 piece set at bed and bath. Well about 6 months later the white ceramic coating is USELESS ! I followed their breakin instructions and cooking instructions to the letter !! Everything sticks!!! I completely coat and almost float whatever, fish, chicken, or beef in olive oil and everything still stick to the pans!!!!!! I am an avid cook BUT even cheap pans Teflon pans bought from walmart last longer!!!! I emailed Tramontina and the women replied after 3 days and sent me the warrantee : "Our warranty is for Manufactures Defects only and does not cover normal wear and tear, overheating issues, warping or scratches in the coating. The warranty can include the coating, but only in the event that dust or debris had fallen on the pan before the coating was sprayed on. This would reflect in small bubbles that would pop and burst, causing the bottom of your pan to be very rough but retain its original coloring. This symptom can also be found if a pan has been overheated but the coating will be discolored a brown or black." Plus I would have to pay to ship the pans to them for review!!! She was upset that I CALLED THE WARRANTEE USELESS. Well the way I read it " They DO NOT COVER Normal wear and tear" !!!!!! SO the moral of my story DO NOT BUY TRAMONTINA WHITE CERAMIC COOKWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Best Deals for Tramontina Gourmet Ceramica-01 Deluxe Cookware Set, 10 Piece
I did a lot of research before choosing this set. I had a large collection of non-stick pots and pans that were still in good condition but after learning about the dangers of cooking on Teflon and heavy cast aluminum (I have vintage sets of The Club and Guardian Service cookware), I decided on this set. I also have a set of Royal Prestige Stainless Steel cookware that I have had for over 20 years, it is still in excellent condition but I wanted something that was not so heavy but easy to use and non-stick.Never in my life had I cooked on ceramic cookware and I must say that I don't think I will use anything else but this type cookware, the end results of any dish are simply amazing! You don't have to use high heat and in fact the manufacturer advises against it due to the possibility of damage to the cookware. They are absolutely correct, you will not need to use high heat. Everything cooks wonderfully!
When I received the box, I did get a pan that was crooked (the 10-inch), the seller immediately shipped another one to me and although it is the one pan that does not have a lid that fits, thus the 4-star review instead of 5, I like it a lot! I've used every single piece in this collection and I cannot say enough good things about it. It is true that you need no oil whatsoever to cook with. I wish that the dutch oven were 6-quarts instead of 5 but I can work with that. The price is excellent for a good-quality set like this. I thought I would get a cheap product that I would have to end up sending back but I took a chance and I'm so very glad I did!
Highly recommended and if I had the space, I would order a second set to have on hand. Thank you, Chef's Catalog, for a wonderful product. The pans are made in Italy but the lids are made in China. One more thing, do not use metal utensils to cook on these or they will get scratched. Use wood, plastic or bamboo. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this set!
