I gave these pans to a friend as a gift. He’s a great cook and he loves them!- he did say the largest pot was a bit on the smaller side however. I also gave the premier set to my son as a gift and he loves them! Very high quality- they will be around for years to come! He’s been cooking up some great stuff!!!! Get some! They’re great!!!!!
So happy. YES it takes practice cooking in stainless steel. I bought a single pan to practice on because in the past ive used none stick pans but they are toxic and dont last long. It took many trys and a bottle of bar keepers liquid cleaner. You have to cook at a lower temperature especially on a gas stove but even on an electric the most ill cook on is medium heat. Dont forget to heat the pan and then also heat the oil you put in it and coat the whole bottom with the oil. Yes they get discolored sometimes but just put a layer of bar keepers liquid for a few minutes and everything comes off without any scrubbing and they will look shiny as new. Cooking takes patience and using stainless steel takes patience. Just practice and dont just blame the pans. Always google. Read reviews and ask questions. I have not mastered eggs, but ive never made such perfect pancakes as i do in my pan. Cant wait to order a set and continue learning.
I thought they would be heavier than they are. I loved my classic calphalon. Had them for many years and wanted a change. I’m not thrilled with the maintenance of the stainless. They are not easy to clean.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
