Why we love this deal

Although the kitchen can be a place to relax and enjoy whipping up new recipes for some, for others, it offers more stress than sanctuary. Not everyone has a knack or enjoyment for cooking, but unfortunately, since everyday takeout isn't a smart option for your health or your wallet, it's impossible to avoid making meals. That's why if you're comfortable with the basics, and simply use the kitchen as a means to an end, you want simple cookware and kitchen accessories to deal with — no fancy pans, processors, or mixers. And why spend time picking and choosing each and every piece of cookware when you can get a quality set that includes everything you need to cook up breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

For a limited time, The Pioneer Woman 32-Piece Aluminum Cookware Set is available at Walmart for 47%. Originally priced at $149, you can get the full set for just $79 ($70 off!) right now.

Why do shoppers love it?

There are seemingly endless cookware sets on the market, and it can be hard to figure out which pieces or sets are the right ones for you. While differing cooking needs can help weed out which options would work best in your kitchen, a set that has everything, from pots and pans to cooking utensils, is great if you need all the basics. Available in three colors, this 32-piece set is primarily made from aluminum and is durable enough to withstand hot temperatures and repetitive use over long periods of time. 

The full set comes with two ceramic nonstick fry pans that are 8 inches and 10 inches, a two-quart saucepan with a lid, a five-quart Dutch oven with a lid, a 12-inch pizza pan, a 15-inch baking sheet with a nesting rack, and a Cowboy-style grill pan, perfect for searing or skillet meals. You also get a five-piece measuring spoon set, a five-piece measuring cup set, a cutting mat measuring 11.25 inches by 7.5 inches, two large wooden cooking spoons with a matching spoon rest, four hot pads, and two knives: a 7-inch Santoku knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife, both with sheaths. The full set gives you everything you need for a meal from prepping to serving, and is the perfect starter set for the chef just beginning their cooking journey or the newly independent young adult who just needs the simple things to create some basic meals.

In order to preserve the quality of the wooden cooking utensils, knives, and cutting mats, it's recommended to hand-wash only.
