Bottoms inside of pots and pans are pockmarked with rust and lids are too hot to lift
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After ONE use, the frying pan was burnt. I cooked scrambled eggs. Everything stuck to the pan and took two days of soaking to remove the burnt food. A mark was left behind. The pot also made my spagetti noodles stick to the bottom of it. I even covered the bottom in oil. A whole day of soaking to remove the noodles. To say the least I am extremely disappointed in my pots and pans.

I really like the weight of these pots and pans, but I’m having a horrible time with my food sticking to the pans
Maybe I was misled being told that they were nonstick, but they certainly are very sticky

Absolutely everything sticks to these pans. Potatoes, eggs, you name it - the worst pans I’ve ever had. I’ve tried “seasoning” with oil and cooking in ample amounts of oil. I would not recommend.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the 77-17N stainless-steel set and appreciate you sharing your feedback. Stainless steel requires preheating the pan before adding oil and allowing food to naturally release once properly seared, as adding food too early can cause sticking. We would be happy to walk through detailed cooking tips to help you achieve the best performance from your cookware. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900522096 for assistance.

The pots and pans both were very light weight for the money. Everything sticks to the bottom and they are almost impossible to clean. I have purchased a lot of cephalon products this is the worst. Would not recommend.

Worst pots and pans ever!

Worst cookware we’ve ever bought! Everything sticks to it - - even when using an ample amount of olive oil. After using this crappy product for a year, we threw it away and bought HEXCLAD.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Food sticks
on May 29, 2025

Everything stick to these pans. They are the worst pot and pan set I’ve ever had. It’s not stick free, not dishwasher safe, and it takes so long for them to heat up and when it does get to temp, food sticks and burns. It’s a pain to clean afterwards. I won’t buy the pots and pans but the other electronic appliances were decent like my can opener.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
