A true kitchen essential, cookware sets provide everything anyone needs to cook scrumptious meals, including a variety of pots and pans for specific dishes. And even if you’re buying for someone who already has a set, they’ll definitely appreciate having a shiny new collection to break in.

But with so many brands (and off-brands) to choose from, it can be difficult to pick one that’s actually worth the money and that they’ll truly want to use. Plus, you want to make sure that it will arrive on time so they can unwrap it on Christmas Day (or even Christmas Eve if they really can’t wait).

That’s why we did the hard work for you and dug through tons of Amazon pages to find the ones with the highest overall ratings (just make sure you’re an Amazon Prime member to get the fastest shipping).

Below, we listed the best cookware sets on Amazon that make kitchen-worthy gifts, at every price point.
