Best praise vs top criticism for Tramontina Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel
“There's no reasons besides the subjective one's you've listed. Some people say tramontina made in China is lesser but tramontina states they still have the same levels of QC. China can make low end to high end stuff (iPhones are made there and you don't see anyone doing similar comparisons to it). If the manufacturing is not low end/bottom of the barrel its usually decent. We are just used to seeing more low end than high end stuff coming from China. With that being said. I am somewhat against buying stuff from China due to ethical reasons. However a lot of the made in China cookware is alright. A good example are tramontina, cookgoldilocks, Strata, Misen, etc. All feature made in China cookware and are still considered good brands. Read reviews and ask questions would be my suggestion.”
“That's an absolute rip off. Nonstick should be bought cheap and replaced often. Those pans look due for the trash. For that price you could get a couple all clad off home and cook sales or a complete set of tramontina stainless steel.”
