Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Kitchen Academy 12-Piece Induction Hob Pots and Pans Set sits fourth in this guide at £95.99, with 4.5 out of 5 from 1,774 ratings. It is a black granite-coated cookware set with Bakelite handles and a large magnetised stainless steel base, and the listing says it is suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, glass and induction hobs.
The 12 in the name is not 12 pans. The bullets list six pans — a 20cm fry pan, a 28cm fry pan, a 24cm deep fry pan, a 1.4L saucepan and 2.8L and 4.7L casseroles — plus four lids and two silicone utensils, which is where the remaining six pieces come from. The volumes do not stay still inside the same listing either: the bullets say 1.4L, 2.8L and 4.7L, while the Included Components spec field describes what looks like the same pans as 1.5L, 3L and 5L. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask
How many pans do you actually get?
The first bullet names six pans: a 20cm fry pan, a 28cm fry pan, a 24cm deep fry pan, a 1.4L saucepan and 2.8L and 4.7L casseroles. The other six pieces are four lids and two silicone utensils.
Why does the Kitchen Academy set say 12 pieces?
The contents list adds up to 12 only when you count everything in the box — six pans, four lids and two silicone utensils. It is not 12 pans.
What sizes are the saucepan and casseroles?
The bullets say 1.4L, 2.8L and 4.7L. The Included Components field for the same KA-CS01-Black set says 1.5L, 3L and 5L, so the listing gives two different sets of volumes.
Does it work on an induction hob?
Yes. The listing says the Kitchen Academy KA-CS01-Black set has a large stainless steel magnetised base and is suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, glass and induction hobs.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No. The dishwasher-safe field says No, and the first bullet recommends hand washing.
What warranty comes with it?
The listing states a 365-day warranty as standard, plus 24/7 online customer service.
