The set consists of 24 and 28 cm frypans, 16 cm. saucepan, 24 cm. stew pot and 25 cm. saute pan.
Looks like it is ~$330 on Amazon, seems like a good deal for a stainless set.

Do you still think that made in france means anything? Made in Italy these days is same chinese sweatshops with chinese workers that were ferried to Italy from China, why do you think you'd get something different from France?
You have a fair point, I usually trust blindly the production location. But as many products, china made tends to have a lower quality to its European counterparts. I am looking for a washing machine atm, have a look on Ozbargain how many people warn other users against china made machines (at least in this specific type of product). I doubt everyone is xenophobic and is so much against CCP that they would launch political debate over washing machines or other appliances. On this case, cookware set like this one is priced at usually the same as the one made in France. So I assume that they have to pay Jamie Oliver for his name to be put there thus the cut should be made somewhere. Again, you might be right and I'm just another fool falling for basic marketing
There is difference between made in china under chinese brand, designed and made in china but sold by another brand and designed by brand but made in china to that brand specs and those all are very different standards of quality.
To put it it simple - you would not likely buy phone designed and assembled in Vietnam, but would not have any issues with Samsung phone designed by Samsung and assembled in Vietnam.
The QC requirement. That's the difference.
"Jamie Oliver" is the other term for price markup
I hate how this is called stainless steel when the inside is teflon coated.
Bought these 12 months ago and they're still going strong!
People previously mentioned that the frying pan Teflon starts bubbling/peeling around where the handle rivest are, but I haven't witnessed any peeling. Note, I've never dishwasher the frying pans (only the pots).
Mine peeled and bubbled, never put it in the dishwasher. Never had an issue with any of my other pans - anolon, scanpan, raco, random cheap ikea pan, le creuset. Tefal jamie oliver pan - bubble and flake.
Also had a lot of issues with tefal customer service coming up with various unfounded excuses to deny warranty. Unlike their pans, Tefal customer service is slippery as teflon.
Any other feedback on this? I'm due to replace some pots and pans
I bought one of their frying pans two years ago for $50 in Bing Lee, still in pretty good condition and can be easily cleaned.
So I think $164 is a pretty good value. One neg is that they don't have stock in my near stores and costs $10 to deliver…
Anyone received this yet? No updates since purchasing
I think the Jamie Oliver range isn't made in france
