The nonstick surface is incredible. Nothing ever sticks and they’re so easy to clean. I love using them and actually find myself cooking more often. They also look cool. An absolute bargain. I would definitely recommend these, and in fact recommended them to my siblings.
I bought the Rio set about a year ago and the time it takes to heat up the pan for cooking is a fraction of what my other pans take, so this has been very exciting. However, I gave three stars because even though I use bamboo/ wood utensils when cooking, the pans still have had chips occur.
I’ve used stainless steel, Teflon and many other types of pots/pans but the ceramic nonstick cannot be compared! They are magical, nothing ever sticks or stains and I can use a paper towel to just wipe clean. Ugh I love it!
Clean up is so easy! Cookware isn’t super heavy which helps me because I have rheumatoid arthritis. Love the red color. I recommend this to any cook who enjoys cooking, but dislikes cleaning pot after a good meal. Great product!!!
These pans worked amazing for about 7 days. They went from "non-stick" to "non-slip" in no time at all. They became impossible to clean and impossible to cook with even when using larger quantities of oil to make up for the now sticky surface. NO amount of scrubbing, soaking, or anything in between could remove these stains.
When asked for a refund, we were (rudely) told that the warranty was void because we misused the pans. Apparently we cooked things on too high of a temperature. I didn't realize they were watching us when we cooked! Funny thing is, we followed the instructions in regards to not maxing out the temp because the instructions were specific about that.
Other, less infuriating issues were the lack of compatibility from lid to lid. Why make the large pot and the steaming pan different size lids by like a 1/4 of an inch? So they can sell it as a 16 piece set! The handles became loose after a few uses too. Surely that wasnt a result of cooking things on too high, was it? We never went near these things with metal, and yet, using the bamboo utensils provided, there were knicks in it after only a few uses.
Don't waste your money on these pans. The lowest quality pans you can get, and if they aren't satisfactory, then guess what? You have to live with it because they don't care! From now until forever, I will actively spread the word to friends and family to avoid this piece of garbage product at all costs.
