Rach, after reading these comments you're going to have to try making mashed potatoes with the ricer, a hand mixer, and Francesca. Then tell us which is the best!!!!!!! I need to know!!!!

[@gfitfitnessstudio]

The other thing I love about that pot set is the fact there are two handles. If you have a particularly heavy pot or pan to move you can add the second bundle and voila!

[@anotheruser7104]

Lmao Chris is one of those ppl that would drive me CRAZY in real life bc they are ALWAYS right.. and think about everythingggg. lol bought that exact set about 4-6 mo ago and with in month 1 the 1 handle loosened and doesn't hold a pot enough to feel safe. Maybe holding a fried egg id say ehh.. anything heavy/ capable of burning me.. absolutely not. Tried buying extra handles a month ago and seems they don't exist.. idk why they wouldn't offer extra handles as they are considered a wear item. Very strange. Otherwise they've been good, just finally seeing scratches on the bottom and i don't use metal on them but do run them in the dishwasher. So good for the money if you have no storage. But handles may be frustrating! Wonder if i can somehow tighten that 1 handle

The best part of the pot set is not only can you cook with them over the stove ,but also put them in the oven. When your food is done you use them as a severing dish at the table and if there is any leftovers you put the other lids that it came with and store it in the fridge. These pots are simply amazing! You cook, serve and store your food all in 1 pot!

[@TheNinnyfee]

The removable handles also allow the pots to be put into the oven up to a certain temperature.

[@firstbornblondie]

For mashed potatoes, We have always just put our cooked potatoes and milk, sour cream, butter, and whatever else in our KitchenAid bowl and used the whisk or paddle attachment and mashed them that way Or just use the hand mixer in the bowl you cook it in and add all the stuff

[@laurenragle5228]

I also use my hand mixer for potatoes. I don't like them mega smooth, I like them a little "rustic".

[@blaireshoe8738]

@@laurenragle5228 Yes, I was just going to comment this. My mom sometimes even splits the batch after an initial mixing so she could mix the rest of it even longer for those who prefer smooth mash when she's hosting. She uses her stand mixer these days unless it's already in use. The ricer sits unused in a cupboard, it was a nice thought but she can't stand cleaning it, much like Rach's the holes always seem to keep at least one bit of potato stuck in them to be left unnoticed until the next time you want to use it 😂

[@christina_papou]

Rachel I have pots and pans that have detachable handles for years now. The springs in the handles are fine. Nothing has broken. It’s all in the way you handle them in cleaning and putting them away. Any pan or pot will last if you take care of it.

[@butwhytho4858]

Sry I know this was almost a half yr ago BUT someone told me the handles on these melt on the stove. I noticed they have gone on a massive clearance and I wonder if that’s why. Have you had any issues with that? I want to buy a set now because they are much more affordable, but I don’t want melting issues haha. Thnx ahead of time if you happen to see this!

I inherited two levoit air purifiers when some friends embarked on an intercontinental move and didn't have space. I've been in love since i started using them in the fall! They've worked great at reducing the pollen after having windows open and sucked up an absurd amount of dust over the winter.

Those pots do come in other colors that I’ve seen. I would highly recommend getting pot savers to put in between them to prevent scratches when they’re stacked. I got a set of 12 a while back on Amazon and they are in three different sizes. They look like gray “pop art” flowers so they easily conform to the shape of your pots or bowls. When my son moves out, I’ll get him a set of that cookware and pot liners. As for the staining, you got them to make food, not hang on the wall. On the potato ricers, they both seem fine. For someone with manual strength or dexterity issues, one design might be easier to use than the other, so they’re both probably good for the purpose. These are for home cooks, not restaurants. A restaurant is going to put the mixed potatoes through a fine mesh sieve (the name escapes me) anyway so they are super silky. I don’t know any home cook who’s going to dirty another utensil just to be like Gordon Ramsey. I’m personally intrigued by the Govee lights. Would they work under my cabinets to improve the workspace lighting in my kitchen?

[@sirensamantha]

I have that pot set on my wish list not only to save on my space both in my small apartment but on board my boat - but I also like that the pans & pots can be transferred straight to table and served from and they can washed in a dishwasher

Tefal has been making these removable handle pots and pans for years. The good thing is, you can just order extra or replacement handles easily. What I always wondered is how well you can actually cook in those pots and pans and how well they hold up over time, since they're actually really thin walled.

[@blaireshoe8738]

The handles still work great, though the nonstick coating has taken quite the beating (do not recommend eating teflon, we use them mostly for aromatics and other non-food uses these days), and the lids on these new ones look a lot nicer! I think ours are a bit thicker walled than the ones Rach tested, though. Ours are comparable to all our other pans. *shrug*

The pots with removable handles have been a thing in Japan for ages, probably also other parts of Asia that are short on space. My dorm when I studied abroad came with a pot and pan with a handle like that. I actually really loved it and never had an issue with it. I also only had a single burner and was only feeding myself, so that's also something to consider, but I know Japanese families use this style as their everyday pots and pans. Also! I love my levoit air filter. It's been through a lot when I fostered rabbits and had six pet rats! They're a great product.

The Carote brand sell just the handles separately if one needs to be replaced or if you want extra. i have the black set and I absolutely LOVE them. I have burned food in them a couple times and it washes out so easily. ALSO fun fact i have used the handles to grab my backing sheets out of the oven. You can grab baking sheets with raised edges easily and ones with lower edges by turning it 90 degrees so the handles standing on end grab side down and clamping that way

I have probably 8 pots and pans in total, as well as multiple steamer baskets, bowls, ice trays and utensils and I loveee all of their stuff.

Hi from the UK. I tune into all your videos on both your channels and I absolutely love them. They’re really brilliant and they give me a great insight to what’s going on on the other side of the planet. With regard to mashed potatoes as a brick, we really love them. I have found this to be the best recipe with no gadgets. Potatoes in a pan with water just above the potatoes cut into quarters brought to the boil. Once cooked, drain, remove lid then let steam escape for about five minutes then mash with just fork, once almost done add in either a good pat of butter or one or two whole eggs depending on the amount of mash that you have. Mix it in with the fork, then beat the living daylights out of it with a wooden spoon until it is creamy and gorgeous. It gives you a truly British lovely creamy mash.

Probably). I loved helping my gran in the kitchen. And the potato ricer was the only thing we both wanted to use and fought over!
