Chef duty on winter trips is all about volume: melting pot after pot of snow, serving big, carb-laden meals, and keeping hot drinks flowing. This Teflon-coated aluminum set has the capacity and versatility to handle everything from sautéed onions for the pasta sauce to vats of hot cocoa.
The nesting 4.7- and 3.2-liter pots each come with frypan lids, plus there’s a pot gripper and a mesh storage sack. “The nonstick coating is impressive,” says a tester who scrambled a mountain of eggs one chilly morning. “I forgot the oil and was prepared for a sticky mess, but the eggs slid right out of the pan.” And the finish has stood up to several months of testing, scratch-free. For the volume, price, and quality, this set is tough to beat.
