This “Gorgeous” 12-Piece Cookware Set Makes Me Excited About Cooking — And It’s Under $100

My kitchen is about as far from pretty as you can get, despite my best efforts. I’ve decorated the rest of my studio apartment to the nines (if I do say so myself), but I thought my separate kitchen was a bit of a lost cause for a while. As a renter, there isn’t much I can do about the outdated appliances, lack of windows, and cramped layout. I wish I could make more drastic changes, but I’ll admit that some smartly designed organizers have gone a long way. Still, although they lessened the clutter, they didn’t do much in the way of making it look truly beautiful. 

That’s why I appreciate my cookware set, which I started leaving out on display. From where some of the pieces sit on my stovetop and hang on my wall-mounted cookware organizer, their aesthetically pleasing design jazzes up my kitchen tremendously. In addition to their nice look, I use them so often anyway that I don’t want to hide them away inside of a cabinet. If you’re looking to find your own set that checks both boxes — gorgeous to look at and extremely efficient — then I have the deal for you. 

Right now, Walmart is selling Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful 12-Piece Cookware Set for just $99, which is $50 less than usual. Find out why these nonstick pots and pans make our contributor excited about cooking below!

At just under $100, this set is a total steal — you’ll have every piece of cookware that your kitchen could ever need in one fell swoop. It includes two fry pans (an 8-inch and a 10-inch), a 3-quart sauté pan, a 2-quart saucepan, and a 5-quart Dutch oven, plus four trivets to protect your countertops. You can also choose your favorite color out of black, light blue, lavender, sage green, navy, or white. Each hue is complemented by golden handles, which make it look even more upscale. It performs at a high level, too, according to over 4,000 five-star reviews and one of our own at The Kitchn. 

Covered with non-toxic, ceramic nonstick coating, this cookware is designed to be used every day, with durable builds that heat up quickly. The pieces are fit for all stovetops and are oven-safe up to 500°F — even the lids can go inside. They’re also dishwasher-safe, although hand-washing is recommended.

Our contributor Ni’Kesia is a fan of every piece in the set, including the 2-quart saucepan, which she says is “great to just keep on the stove because it’s so versatile.” In her review, she adds, “I’d also make quick sandwiches for lunch with minimal butter on the 8-inch pan and y’all — when I say my sandwich slid all around that frying pan! There was literally no sticking involved.”

The Dutch oven is what really blew her away. She used it to make her favorite chili recipe, and she was impressed by its even heating. “More impressively, nothing — and I mean nothing — was stuck to the bottom of the Dutch oven during the cooking process or when reheating on the stove in the days after for leftovers,” she wrote. “Of course, when I took it out of the fridge before reheating, there was a bit stuck on the sides but once I finally finished off the chili (about two days later), the cleaning process was one of the easiest I’ve ever had.”

Average Rating: 4.5/5

“These quite live up to the name ‘BEAUTIFUL.’ The design is phenomenal and construction is solid. I bought one of everything … except the 3-quart saucepan because it is not available anymore. Could not wait to make something, so dinner is done at 3 p.m. They cook evenly and are easy to clean. Storage is a breeze and I just love the aesthetic they bring to my kitchen!” —Bre

“I’ve only had this product for a month, but my boyfriend and I cook a lot so we wanted to upgrade our cookware and have been pleasantly impressed. I waited for the cornblue color to come back in stock after a few months and it was worth the wait bc I am in love with the color! We haven’t had any problems but we also hand-wash our pans/pots since it was suggested by reviews and the directions.” —Cleocat

“The non-toxic/nonstick from these pans are the best I have ever had! I am following the instructions to the T to ensure they stay that way. I would definitely consider buying these for someone as a gift knowing that the quality is what it is. Anyone in search of good non-toxic pans these are the ones!” —Walmart Customer

In my experience, it’s rare to find a Dutch oven priced at under $100 on its own, so the fact that this one is included as part of a 12-piece set is unbelievable — and its $99 price is not too good to be true! Once you place your order, it’ll arrive fast, so you can even get it in time for the holidays if you want to gift one (or all) of the pieces to a loved one. Once you see how stunning the set is in person, though, I have a feeling you’ll have a hard time giving it up!
