Why we love this deal

For some people, the kitchen is their happy place where they can play around with food and whip up delicious meals at a moment's notice. But for others, the kitchen can be an overwhelming place, especially if you're not super confident in your cooking skills. And it sometimes seems harder to get more comfortable in the kitchen when trying to acquire the right cookware and not quite knowing where to start. After all, the basis for great food means having the right pots and pans to cook everything in, and if you're newer to the foodie scene, it might seem like you need to drop a lot of money just to secure the basics. Luckily, Macy's latest sale is proof you can save hundreds of dollars and still score exactly what you need to become more familiar come mealtime. 

Right now, Macy's is selling The Cellar 11-Piece Cookware Set for 69% off. The set, which includes a variety of frying pants, pots, and lids, originally retails for $413, but you can get it for just $130.

Why do shoppers love it?

Stainless steel and cast iron might be the go-to materials when it comes to creating cookware, but they aren't the only quality metals. Aluminum, which is what the pans and pots in this set are made of, offers excellent heat distribution to ensure even cooking, is super durable and tough, lightweight, and it's often much more affordable than other materials — especially efficient if you're on a budget. 

The six saucepans, frying pans, and pot that come in this 11-piece set have an aluminum body with nonstock interiors and stainless steel handles. You receive a 1.5-quart saucepan, 3-quart saucepan, a 3-quart sauté pan, a 6-quart stockpot, an 8-inch frypan, and a 10-inch frypan, all which come with matching lids made from tempered glass. The nonstick interior coating ensures that sticky or burnt food won't ruin your cookware and it makes for a much easier clean up, whereas the tempered glass in the lids offer superior strength and durability by being stronger than regular glass, heat-resistant, and less likely to shatter or break. The final eleventh piece of the set is a silicone trivet, which is flexible and heat-resistant, perfect for protecting countertops and tables from hot dishes.

The brand advertises the cookware as dishwasher safe, but with aluminum, in order to preserve their quality to the highest level, it's most likely best to hand wash with hot water and then let air dry or dry them yourself.
