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 would recommend this to a friend!

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They are NOT a non stick pan. No matter how you cook with them everything sticks no matter how low the temperature is they burn!!! I hate them Wish I could return them. I only used 2 pans 1 pan came clean and looks new again but the other one has marks I use my old pans only won’t use them at all used only once and they are the worst!!!!

17-Piece Chef's Classic Stainless Cookware Set (77

Im pretty happy with my set. My only complain is that one of the pots got some stains that I can't get rid of. I cleaned with bakingsoda, vinegar. That is a little disapointing to me because I only use it 2 times.

I purchased this set, honestly, because the brand. I was under the impression the brand meant the pots would be of good quality but unfortunately, as beautiful as they are, the quality isn’t there. The pots are stained and even have black spots and this is after following the cleaning directions. I used the pot, picture here, three times and it looks like it has been used for years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s just okay. Beautiful straight out of the box, but the moment you use them they’re ruined. Yes I know how to use stainless steel, so of course it was hot before cooking the food, yes I also know how to clean it properly after cooking. So this set is just okay, especially now with hot much I’m cooking… they look like I’ve had them for years and it’s only been a couple months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No regrets in 26 yrs

I bought a set in around 2020 to replace the warped Revereware cookware (of 1970's era & of course, thier 'warranty' didn't cover warping, a very common problem) that didn't work on a glass
cooktop.
I have never regretted this purchase..Haven't used the skillets much as I don't care for fried foods. Everything still looks brand new. If cookware doesn't clean up well, I add HOT water & boil it, & then it cleans up perfectly. I use saucepans & steamer basket the most. Mostly handwash everything, very occasional dishwasher cleaned.
