What to know about Tramontina 80116/248DS

The 10-piece version of Tramontina's fully clad tri-ply line, and Food Network's Best Value Stainless Steel pick. Testers liked it for caramelizing and simmering. It's a lower-cost entry into fully clad, uncoated cookware for smaller households.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Food Network named it its Best Value Stainless Steel pick, and testers liked it for caramelizing and simmering. It shares the 12-piece set's fully clad build, NSF certification, Brazilian manufacture and lifetime warranty. Amazon sells it directly at a lower price.

What to know

Skip it if you cook for a large family or want a 12-inch skillet. Retailers list slightly different contents (a braiser versus a deep sauté, a 6 qt sauce pot), and Food Network's tested configuration had no straight-sided sauté.
Performance

Score breakdown

Cooking performance

Even heating, searing and browning, simmer control, and responsiveness in independent tests (ATK, Reviewed, Food Network, TechGearLab, CNN Underscored).

8.1
Food Network found it good for caramelizing and simmering.
Build quality and durability

Fully clad vs disc-bottom construction, warping and denting resistance (e.g., ATK ice-water test), handle and rivet quality, discoloration, and warranty.

8.3
Same fully clad build and lifetime warranty as the 249DS.
Health and materials

Uncoated stainless cooking surface (no PTFE/PFAS or sol-gel coating), steel grade (18/10, 316Ti, nickel-free), explicit PFAS-free claims or third-party testing, lid material, and origin/brand accountability.

8.5
Uncoated 18/10, NSF certified, made in Brazil.
Ease of use and cleaning

Handle comfort and heat, weight, pouring rims, lid fit, dishwasher tolerance, and how hard sticking and staining are to clean.

7.5
Same handles and upkeep as the 12-piece.
Set composition

Whether the pieces are useful sizes (12-inch skillet, 3–4 qt sauté, 6–8 qt stockpot) rather than padded with lids and small pieces.

6.8
6 qt top pot, 10-inch largest skillet, no sauté in the tested configuration.
Value

Performance and durability relative to typical street price.

9.2
Cheapest well-tested fully clad set here, sold by Amazon.
