- I was looking to change my old cooking pots and decided to ungrade to a better quality one. There are many cookware brands which produce excellent quality cooking casserole pots and WMF is one of them.
My old set up was an IKEA stainless steel pot which we use a sieve to drain the water after cooking pastas or even vegetables. Pouring from one to the other often result in spills or food falling out into the sink. I wanted something that is efficient in doing so, yet matches my kitchen colour scheme which is black and grey metallic steel.
I was glad to know that the Function 4 has the special black edition from its usual Red colour. I bought the set for 305 EUR and it is definitely good value for premium quality kitchenware. The set contains 3 pots, (24cm 5litres, 20cm 3 litres, 16cm 1.5 litres) along with its 3 lids that has a glass window and a 20cm diameter steaming insert. On top of this, it comes also with a sauce pan that shares the Function 4 design.
After using it for a few months, I am satisfied with the Function 4 pots which sport a polish chrome look made out of Cromargan® 18/10 Rust-Free Stainless Steel. The solid quality material definitely made it feel sturdy and durable however it does contribute to the heavier weight as compared in the video.
The 4 pouring setting(Low, High, Open and Close) lid together with its wide pouring rim made it practically spill and drip free for me(personally I never had any accident since). This feature is the main reason why I decided to go with WMF.
The handles however isn't as advertised to be cool to the touch. Sure it takes longer to heat up but you will still need to be using heat protection when holding the handles during cooking. Other than being compatible with most stovetops(Induction, Glass ceramic, etc), the Transtherm base is said to be energy efficient with better heat distribution. It does seem to cook evenly on my gas stovetop which we haven't burn a pot, yet.(Thankfully)
The german made pots are oven-safe up to 250°C or 482°F while the lids are not and can only go up to 180°C or 356°F. In my usage, I don't intend to put them into the oven and in any case if I were to cook something in a pot in an oven, I'd get a Le Creuset Enamelled Cast Iron Pot.
Although it is dishwasher safe, I highly recommend handwashing whenever possible for this beautiful pots. I had gotten unfortunately some chips at the bottom of one pot due to possibly some debris in the dishwasher. Even so, it has not shown any sign of rusting.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the WMF Function 4 set and I find them well designed, ergonomic and efficient. In my opinion, this is a great set for yourself, your loved ones(Mothers' or Fathers' day, your partner) or even as a housewarming gift.
If budget is a concern for you, IKEA has plenty of good quality stainless steel cookware, which I still use, that doesn't break the bank.
I hope my video helped in making your purchasing decision. Thank you for watching my video.

Very helpful video, very well produced, the only point of criticism is the microphone quality. Thank you and nice greetings from Germany!
Hey there, thank you for watching and compliment! I agree with you about the microphone quality, will work on the acoustic in the room after I get a newer system. I'm still using a computer setup from 2010.
Wow .. i like this 😍😍😍 hope someday i can have one full set yaa
😇🙏🏻
I'm sure you'll be able to get a set someday, especially sometimes there's discounts or clearance sales. :)
Mensen last met afgieten. Gaatjes in deksel heeft niet veel zin omdat deksel al bijna afsluit aan de pan. Iemand daar een idee over?
Hello, thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm sorry to have overlooked your comment.
I think I understand what you mean, the viscosity of the food/sauce may clog the holes thus making it hard to drain.
I can confirm that in some cases, you're right that the trusty sieve is still unbeatable. I also have to say 90% of the time, the Function 4 works as intended.
Do you have saute pans
Hello there,
Yes, I do have one from Ikea and also another from WMF. The Function 4 set doesn't come with a saute pan.
Hope this helps. Thank you for watching!
