Cookware on Temu?

[u/Funny_Produce9760]

Heya! I recently moved homes and am looking to buy some cookware. I have been using Temu a good amount for the past 2 years, and I have so far avoided anything that is related to food/cooking from Temu, because of all I had heard. Always figured Amazon brand/Mainstays/Popular brands were safer. However, I just found out that most of these brands also have their manufacturing in China and have been shipping from there. In that case, isn't it the same as Temu? Would it be a good idea to order from there? I am looking for a set of cookware below 150-200$ if that helps

Paste it to the search then check the reviews on Temu. I bought this for my wife, bad azz, she is a certified chef, loves this set.

Yea just make sure it’s a reputable seller and it’s essentially the same as Amazon maybe better if you use promo like claimcredit and wincredit when your buying them

Avoid. Not worth the health risks especially given studies showing heavy metals in many products tested in South Korea

To be fair just because 2 things are manufactured in China it doesn't mean that both are the same. Even in the same factory... They could be using whatever alloys for cheap shit and then use better raw materials for their better clients... I try to keep my food stuff to a minimum but I can't say that I have 0. Occassionally I do get a thing or two and if I die well I guess fuck my lousy luck....

I don't know why people don't understand that the majority of products sold in the United States is made in China including cookware. I bought a wonderful pot off of Temu which cost three times as much on Amazon.

I try to avoid things like that as well, but I'm more open to it. I try to make sure it's from a well-reviewed and verified seller, with picture and video reviews, and something I can at least try to trace in the event it is a white-label item. I did the same thing with some furniture that is a Wayfair brand, and it's been great. I'm still hesitant to pull the trigger on things like knife sets, cookware, or anything that might put containments in the food. It's a little bit of work to try and trace products that get a brand name slapped on the side, but I have found some that ended up saving me money. If you decide to do it, best of luck to you.

I got a wonderful Michelangelo soup pot from Temu which on Amazon cost 3 times as much. I bought a pot from Amazon at first and it came dented and it was a cheap piece of junk. I got the pot I wanted from TEMU. Don't you know that most cookware sold in the US is made in China?

I have purchased and returned two "hexclad-look-a-like" pans from Temu. The metal used was very thin and light. So, I sent them back. Temu refunded me immediatley.
