Carote 11-piece nonstick pot and pan set: Save 50%

The Carote 11-piece pot and pan set comes with detachable handles, which are game changers when it comes to saving space in cabinets and drawers. 

With this set, you get two handles, which are about 7.5 inches long and easily snap into place onto the pots and pans. There are two pots, including two and three-quart saucepans, and three pans, including an 8-inch and 10-inch frying pan as well as a 10-inch saute pan. These sizes are pretty standard and will allow you to cook a variety of dishes, ranging from scrambled eggs to stir-fries. 

Another standout attribute is the set’s 7-inch and 8-inch silicone storage lids, which allow the saucepans and 8-inch frying pan to double as food storage containers that you can put in your fridge. The set also comes with two traditional lids for cooking: one 8-inch and one 10-inch. 

These pots and pans are compatible with all cooktops, including induction, and can be put in the oven and dishwasher. Just like all nonstick pans, the brand recommends you use gentle dish soap and nonabrasive sponges when cleaning to avoid damage. You should also refrain from using metal utensils, as that can easily scratch the pan.  

The Carote 11-piece nonstick pot and pan set has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, “I love being able to take the handle off for easy storage. All cookware should be made this way! The extra lids are great, too. I can cook and store in the same pot!”
