Looks might not be everything, but let's be honest — having pretty pots and pans makes cooking so much more enjoyable. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Is there anything better than sleeping in on a lazy Sunday, making your way to the kitchen and whipping up some pancakes? Well, yes — having said pancakes release from the pan with ease so you don't have to scrape 'em off with your spatula. Not confident that your current cookware promises such a thing? It might be time for an upgrade, and we've found a slick set that won't break the bank: the GreenLife Soft Grip 16-Piece Cookware Set. According to Amazon reviewers, "food slides right out" — and this highly rated, PFAS-free collection is on sale for as little as $71 (down from $120). Bon appétit!
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. This price is one of the best we've seen it marked down to.

Prefer a neutral? This pretty gray is just a few bucks more.
It can be hard to find one good pan for less than $100 these days, so the fact that this entire set is on sale for $71 with the on-page coupon is pretty mind-blowing. That's lower than we've seen in a year, and while prices vary between colors, most are marked down (the turquoise set is currently the least expensive).
Not all nonstick pans are created equal, and if all of the talk surrounding "forever chemicals" has you concerned, you can rest assured that GreenLife's cookware is made of PFAS- and PFOA-free ceramic. What else sets it apart? True to its name, each piece features soft, grippy handles for improved comfort — and they'll also stay cool while you cook.
Included are 9.5-inch and 7-inch frying pans, a 5-inch mini egg pan, a 5-quart stock pot with lid, 1- and 2-quart saucepans with lids, a 2.5-quart saute pan with lid, a stainless steel steamer and four cooking utensils. The pots and pans have wobble-free bases, which help contribute to better stability and even heating, and the colors, which range from fun brights to muted neutrals, are a welcome change from one-hue sets.
The brand notes that this set is dishwasher-safe, but, as with all nonstick cookware, it's likely to last longer with handwashing. (Those slippery interiors will make cleaning a piece of cake, though.) These pieces are also safe to use on all stovetops except induction and can go into the oven at temperatures up to 350°F.
Just how popular is this set? Well, it has a five-star fan club of nearly 36,000 members, so, yeah, we'd say it's pretty popular.
"[My] husband and I switched from Teflon-based pots to ceramic due to concerns with chemicals in the nonstick coating," shared one shopper. "These pots and pans work amazing, barely any oil (if any) is needed."
"I was on the fence between this set and another, but I am SO happy I went with these!" exclaimed another. "The set came with everything I need and they're so aesthetically pleasing. They're nonstick, heat/cook perfectly and they're super easy to clean. I've had them for about a month, and they still look practically brand new! Even after using them pretty much every day. 10/10 recommend!"
"First of all, WOW!" gushed a third. "I cook grits, eggs, etc. in my pan sets and it never ever sticks! ... I have dropped them several times, and no cracks or breaks or dents. The handles never get hot and have grip on them for more support. The lids fit all the pans and skillets perfectly!"
"I've only had these for a month, but I love the nonstick cooking that they provide," wrote a generally happy buyer. "They seem to be durable." Their one note? "The cooking utensils they came with are very cheap, so I don't really use those, but the pots and pans we love."
"I really like this set," said a final fan. "Some of the better pots and pans I have owned. My only complaint is the font of the logo. It makes it look like something out of Fisher-Price or Disney princess. Didn't affect my review. I'll have to get it over it."
If your knives are looking a little rusty, this top-rated set is also a steal:
