Best cookware set on the market!
on September 11, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
Gender:Female
I first bought this set back in October of 2020, and have used it relentlessly. I recently gifted the set to my sister, and my husband just purchased a new set for me for our upcoming anniversary. I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE this set (I chose to purchase it again instead of getting the HexClad or Le Creuset sets). It has served our family faithfully and exceptionally - and it will continue to do so for many years!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I gifted my sister and her fiancé' with this set after having purchased two over the past 10 years. It's tough, sturdy and will last a lifetime just as long as you don't use metal utensils.

Meeh I would NOT recommend

I purchased this 17 piece Nonstick set and the NON STICK material started coming off. I used wood and plastic utensil to keep from scratching the syrface and we have a glass top stove. 1st the bottoms started "de-coloring" as if we were deep frying everything and then started noticing swirls and then scratches inside the frying pans. I know everyday use BUT due to the trusted name and type of material, i thought these would last a lifetime. Love the name brand and even bought a Cuisinart 3 in 1 Stainless 5 burner grill. NOW that needs the internal burners replaced.

Wonderful Set at a Wonderful Price
on October 11, 2025
Posted by: Chuck2112
Excellent! Very happy with this set. The "everything sticks" reviews are most likely from customers who don't know how to use stainless steel cookware. Stainless is not for everyone. The cookware is well made and looks fantastic, even after use. Cleaning can be a bit of a chore, but, again, stainless is not for everyone. Steak, chops, veggies, soups, stews, chili and eggs all come out great. I highly recommend this set to folks who are a bit more "into" cooking and not your average Joe or Jane who is looking for non-stick pots and pans right out of the box.

I’ve used stainless steel before and was excited for these but I was so disappointed. I had some weird black pitting in a few of them straight out of the box but thought ok. Then no matter how low the temp stuff just kept sticking and burning. I did all the proper stuff with oils but nope. Also trying to do either grilled cheese or French toast the pan will become nasty brown and you will never get it cleaned back off. I’ve trying cleaning it with everything and even trying boiling water. Brand new pans ruined after one use!! I’m returning mine and going back to nonnstick.

This highly rated brand truly let me down. I had to return these because while they say they are non-stick and non-browning, within a week of using them both occurred. I recommend using a different set of pots and pans.

The best buy for your money

These have been in the family for years and they are great if you know how to use them. If you are used to "non-stick" pans, these will be very different. You have to use butter or oil to cook and your temperatures will be lower as these pans conduct the heat quite a lot hotter than regular pans. Also, if they start to stick even with the use of butter, et al., you need to follow the instructions for cleaning them. Use Barkeeper's Friend, works like a charm and your omelets won't stick.

I was roasting peppers (non spicy) on one of the pans from the set we bought only a few ago, and the nonstick coating disintegrated to the point you see the metal underneath.
