Hard Stainless Cookware

I am studying to become a chef. I needed some good cookware and this was recommended. I am amazed first at the depth of quality. These pots are heavy, very well built. When you pick one up you can feel the quality. The pots cook evenly, at just medium heat-and that is a pleasant surprise, not having to high heat a pan to get it to cook. The heat spreads out very well on each pan, the pans clean up well in the sink, and in the dishwasher. Just be very sure to get them out of the dishwasher as soon as possible or they will spot. These pots are striking to view, they saute', boil, pan fry and deep slow cook just excellent. I am thrilled with them. They aren't T-Fal folks and they aren't cheap-nor the most expensive. I find complete value in them and I am ordering more to complement this set. I highly recommend this line of pots and pans.

Very well made cookware...the best I have ever owned. The 5-ply is very nice and definitely thicker and heavier than I expected, but that is a good thing. I have used almost every piece and so far I am very pleased. I properly seasoned the cook wear and they became non-stick. This cook wear is also very pretty. Although it is dishwasher safe, the instructions say that it is best to hand wash to preserve the anodized grey color. That is not a problem for me since they are seasoned, they clean easily with just water. I read a review that said the handles got hot, which is puzzling since I used mine on the cook top on high heat and the handles stayed fairly cool to the touch. I did not need a mitt at all. I have a few 3-ply pieces of another brand that work great, but these are definitely a serious upgrade. I only wish the set had a 12 in skillet. I don’t even see that you can purchase one separately. I would definitely get the 12 in if I could. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this product. All the pieces were in pristine condition and I am happy to have such a nice set and I look forward to using them.

I find this cookware easy to use and cook with. Proper technique needs to be followed to prevent sticking as with all stainless. It’s very good quality. Being induction capable, it is quite heavy. My only dislike is the outer, anodized finish. They look great brand new but the finish scratches and stains easily. I am not too concerned with the looks of my cookware but I would have definitely returned these for the stainless finish if so. At the time I purchased, these were on sale for much cheaper than the stainless outer finish so that is why I stuck with these. Don’t choose these if you are particular about the look of your cookware. At the end of the day, they still function perfectly fine and that’s what matters to me.

First, I have been using this cookware set for the past 6 months. (And they still look bad new!) I absolutely LOVE everything about them. I was the Teflon (non-stick pan) user for years until I did research and discovered how bad non-stick really is!! So this is my first ever "professional" set I purchased. The food cooks to perfection, it's easy to clean (gotta use the stainless steel wool). I purchased "the green pan" so the "healthier" pans for just making eggs, but for almost everything else...I use these pans! I love how the inside is stainless steel and the outside is the darker color- it doesn't drive me crazy about keeping them "spotless" like other stainless steel sets. The only thing I do wish, is that the pot lids can get hot...so just have to use oven mitts...I guess that's the only downfall. I highly recommend these, all-clad is nice but I don't think worth the price tag...these are definitely worth it! Wish I got them sooner.

I wish I could give 0 stars and return these!!! Awful customer service!! And poor quality pots/pans!! I spent several hundred dollars. I cooked a simple batch of scrambled eggs, not at a high heat, not without proper use of the pan, and they stuck to it. I haven’t been able to clean it completely since. I’ve followed all instructions per the pamphlet within the box, but nothing has fixed it. I’m very disappointed after paying such a high amount for these. Additionally, some of them came with scratches/chips already in them. I called the customer service number and was told to send an email. Sent multiple emails before obtaining a response with a lecture on cooking properly (which I did btw) and that I could send the scratched ones back. Well, I was told over the phone I would be able to receive new ones so I missed the deadline to return awaiting a response from emails. Money wasted for the worst pots/pans I have owned! DO NOT BUY! My calphalon pans were great. They were just heavy, which is not a bad thing, but I just wanted something a little lighter for me personally. All I wanted to do is replace a few of them, saw these, and thought maybe they’d be a good investment. Couldn’t be more wrong!
