When was the last time you replaced your pots and pans? What about your bakeware? If it's time to replace what you've been using forever, Walmart is selling this
The set contains everything you'll need for day-to-day cooking and baking. The cooking surfaces are triple coated, which enhances food flavors and allows you to cook without adding fats or oils to the surface. It also makes cleanup a breeze (and they're dishwasher safe!). The coating is designed to withstand the use of metal utensils, which is usually a no-no with nonstick coatings. All pieces have stay cool handles. Everything can be used both on the stove and in the oven, too!

The only consistent negative review that I noticed was that when people took the pans out of the box, some of them were bent or that the set was missing pieces. Others said the handles got very hot, but a lot of 5-star reviewers said they did not. But out of more than 600 reviews, less than 100 were 3-star reviews or less.
How Often Should You Replace Cookware?
I cook a lot, usually 5-6 days a week. I usually have to replace my cookware every 3-4 years, though my current Ninja set is at least 3 years old and nowhere near ready to be replaced. But this made me wonder, how often should you replace your cookware?
NBC News said that according to TheKitchn, you can expect about five years out of your non-stick pots and pans. Southern Living says a decent set of cookware should last between five and ten years, depending on the frequency of cooking.
How do you know when it's time to replace? There are some signs you can see that can help you determine when to start shopping for new cookware. Scott Clarke, a chef and owner of Blue Monkey Catering says if your pots and pans are warped, it's time to replace them, "Using cookware with buckling or dents can result in the pot or pan not heating properly due to inconsistencies in the surface area. This will also affect the final food product—after a pan is used for a long time, it can develop 'hot spots,' which can quickly result in burning or scorching." Other signs include pan bottoms that can no longer be cleaned or if there are any knicks, scratch marks, or chips, since bits of cookware can end up in the food.
If you're in the market for new pots and pans, I'd head to Walmart to grab this set. With so many positive reviews and at such a bargain price, the set is worth trying out!
