Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel 11-Piece Set

Construction and what’s included

The set is tri-ply clad: an aluminum core bonded between two layers of 18/10 stainless steel, with a mirror-polished exterior and stainless steel lids. It covers most everyday tasks, with 8 in and 10 in fry pans, 1.5 qt, 3 qt and 4 qt covered saucepans, a 6 qt covered stockpot and a pasta strainer insert for the stockpot. The pans work on gas, electric, ceramic glass and induction, and are oven-safe to 500°F. They are dishwasher-safe, but Tramontina and Good Housekeeping both recommend hand washing to keep them looking good.

Test results

Consumer Reports tested the same SKU family (80116/247DS, an 8-piece configuration) and rated cooking evenness excellent across the surface, food release very good, handle temperature very good, handle sturdiness excellent and simmering excellent, with good saute performance. Good Housekeeping’s stainless steel cookware guide highlighted the Tramontina Gourmet Tri-Ply Clad 8-piece set for even heating, heat retention and easy cleanup; its 10-inch skillet discolored over high heat with repeated use but kept working. No instrumented test of the exact 11-piece configuration was found, and the lab tests cover different set sizes in the same line.

Owner experiences and where sets are made

Owner reports on Reddit are mixed. One r/cookware owner has run a Tramontina tri-ply pan on high heat for over a year and says it stays dead flat. Another reported a pan that warped immediately and became unusable. Owners in r/Cooking and r/Costco warn that Costco-sold Tramontina pans are made in China rather than Brazil, with reportedly lower quality materials and no lifetime warranty; the Brazil-made Signature line carries the lifetime warranty. A r/Costco owner also reported Tramontina non-stick pans that did not last more than a year, especially when washed in a dishwasher. Treat these as individual reports, not a failure rate.

Tramontina lists the Signature Tri-Ply Clad set at $249.95 (Tramontina, 2026), and Consumer Reports lists the 80116/247DS from $219.66. Good Housekeeping puts the Gourmet Tri-Ply Clad 8-piece set around $250. At that range the set is competitive: tested tri-ply alternatives cost more, such as the Oxo Tri-Ply Stainless Mira Series at $399.99 and the Caraway 5-Ply at $595.00, though both scored higher in Consumer Reports’ ranking. Above roughly $350, premium options such as All-Clad D5 are worth a look.

Which model this is

This page covers the Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel 11-Piece Set, SKU 80116/247DS. The set includes 8 in and 10 in fry pans, 1.5 qt, 3 qt and 4 qt covered saucepans, a 6 qt covered stockpot and a pasta strainer insert. Tramontina’s page shows 8-, 10- and 12-piece configurations, so the 11-piece set with the pasta insert is a retail-specific layout. Don’t confuse it with the Tri-Ply Clad with Glass Lids line (80116/056DS), which has a 350°F oven limit and glass lids.
