Stainless Steel Kitchen Cookware Set Combo, Kitchen Cooking Set, 52 Piece Pots and Pans Set for Induction Cooker, Oven and Dishwasher Safe, Easy Cleanup

The fact that I got it half off just adds to my delight. This is the best pan I have ever owned.   I am slowly replacing all my pots to this series. It heats evenly, even on my slightly-smaller-than-the-bottom burner. EVERY SINGLE THING EVER has cleaned off of this.   Burned on, dried on, you name it.   I have put it in the oven, on the stove.   I once put it through the dishwasher  well a well-meaning family member did, but still.    It is fine. .   It looks like new, and I use it at least 5 times a week, since I got it, to replace an old pan with chipping off  non stick coating.     Ugh.  And the lid. .  it is not glass. I love this pot and it is construction so much, I bought the next size smaller.   I love this lid.   I love this pot.   I have had it for a seven months now.   It is beautiful.   I have only had two glass lids ever shatter in my life, but even once was enough to freak me out.

I love this cookware! I ran the purchase past my mom, my personal kitchen quality specialist, who gave it the thumbs up before ordering.  There is a lot of cardboard and plastic so be careful if you have little ones or pets.  My boys had a blast making a big mess of it.  I have made big holiday meals, everyday dinner, breakfast, brunch, and they are still in excellent shape after having for almost 3 months.  I have used every piece and have also cooked with them in the oven up to 400 degrees F with no issue.  I do find that whenever I make eggs there is a lot sticking, even at low heat, which can be a pain to clean, but everything else seems to come right off.  I did scorch the bottom of one of the skillets, and just used a little bit of Bar Keeper's Friend and it was right back to new.  You will not need more than that and the occasional elbow grease, and voila they are glistening again.  The only kind of pan that may cook better is the old cast iron type, but this is lighter, prettier, easier to use, easier to clean and does not force you to worry about preserving a patina.

When they came I was impressed by the quality! Did not want to write the review until I used them. This pan is huge, and I have to light a front and rear burner to cover the surface area, but it is great for making large Italian pasta dishes I have made with the help of Jim on YouTube's Sip and Feast  channel, great NY style Italian food!  I wish it came with a lid, but it works great all the same.  As Jim always says with stainless, let it heat up for a few minutes before using it and nothing will stick.

I use this pan for finishing pasta dishes.  Having the 14in.  surface area really helps when you are adding a pound of pasta to various types of sauces..

So far so good, got tired of non stick pans eventually breaking down. Good quality and easy to clean.

Non-stick surface is typical teflon style coating.  Works.  Be careful with your utensils and it will last a really long time.  So far  on month  it is exactly what it said it would be.  Who needs non-stick pans anyway?UPDATE: Two years later and would give this skillet 6 stars if I could.

After the chicken is cooked, I can limit the amount of dishes that pile up by putting the chicken to rest in a bowl and essentially deglazing the pan with some hot water. I really learned to appreciate this pan.  This allows the fond on the bottom of the pan to be lifted up, making cleaning really easy.  Cooking my own food is a great way to do so.  I clean it with a bit of soap, rinse it, dry it off, and toss it back on to cook my onions and mushrooms.  That lets me use what I need and save the others for a later day.  It is pretty versatile, quick, and easy to handle.  Being in college, I am constantly trying to find a way to save money. Overall, it does the job well, is built tough, and makes me look like I know what I am doing.  I have learned that the pan itself will allow me to flip the chicken when it is ready to be flipped via some science that I am unfamiliar with.  For the latter, I am in its debt.  The size of this pan allows me to cook six to seven boneless chicken thighs at a single time. I replaced all of my ceramic and Teflon frying pans with these stainless steel pans.

I utilize this pot for boiling water. I have a whole set of these saucepans, and love them!  I have other stainless stockpots from varying manufacturers, one is almost 20 years old and I have learned a few tips about keeping stainless cookware looking good:1.  Do not put it in the dishwasher.   Hand washing and drying does not take that long, and is so worth it. 2.  After drying, wipe the interior with a little oil.   I use a dab of coconut oil on a paper towel, but any oil will do.   This will not only shine up the interior, but will clean off any remaining residue AND over time will make the pot much easier to clean.   It will not be exactly  non-stick , but after a few uses - wiping down with oil after each use - you will notice a difference. 3.  Use lower heat than you probably are used to.   These suckers conduct heat VERY well, and it is easy to burn things.   Also, if using a gas stove and the flame is too high, it will discolor the finish on the outside of the pot.   That will not affect performance, but it will not look so pretty.  If food is burned on, put enough water in the pot to cover the burned on food and put it back on the stove, bring to a low boil and then let it cool.   That should loosen the burned food.   I let my old stockpot burn dry once, and I had to repeat this a few times, and soak it a few times with detergent, and use some stainless sink cleaner, but did eventually get it clean.   Use lower heat and watch the pan!.

Do not need a measuring cup now to add water.   Perfect size for smaller portions, gravy etc.   Looks great, cleans fantastic. Note it is on the heavy side, I cooked something that I had to drain and chose the larger saute pan and it was hard to manage.   Love that it has in the inside the marks for a cup , 1/2 cup etc.   Bought another one after receiving this one because of the size.

Do not know if I had cook a bigger heavier turkey in it, but for smaller roasts it is good.  The only thing was it did not allow for a spotless cleanup as the grease stained it, but it just looks like I have actually use it and will continue to use.  Sturdy.  1.

High quality item.  Loved the rack.  Fit our nearly 16 pound turkey perfectly.  This pan is great.

We upgraded our range to an induction top and our old fry pan was not compatible. This one does the job!Very nice heat distribution!  There have not been any perceived hotspots on our induction top with this pan.  We do not use much oil when cooking, and this pan still come clean with ease!  It cooks massive skillet meals, eggs, fried rice, and fries food excellently!. Item is great quality for the price.

We had to get used to turning down the heat during cooking to keep things from boiling too much. Was surprised at quality.  Love it.  Works great.

I bought this pan several years ago at a local store.   I liked it so much I bought a second one for our Canadian cottage.   It is such a flexible pan - can be used on the stove top or in the oven.   I use mine for so many things:  in addition to the obvious use for casseroles etc.   It is a beautiful addition to my kitchen.   It can withstand high temperatures.   When I bought the first pan, many pans with glass lids indicated that the lid would not withstand high temperatures, which defeats the purpose!  However, this one can be used in a very hot oven without cracking.   I absolutely LOVE this pan.  I also use it to bake bread.

It is easy to use, and smaller than the bulky 2 handled contraption on my current cookware.  I wanted a set that was durable, cooked evenly, with handles that did not get hot while cooking, and of course, beautiful! I got all of those and more.  I love the cookware so much I am buying a few more pieces.  I have very weak hands and have dropped a number of pans that are just too heavy for me to hold with one hand.  I had not counted on missing my 1 qt pan quite so much! I read several reviews that talked about not using the pans on high heat as a negative.  I knew I had to have a steamer because I steam all vegetables that I am not roasting in the oven or on the grill.  The reviews are correct about using them at a lower heat, but I consider it a plus that the pans heat so much quicker and so much more efficiently that you do not NEED to use high heat.  One of my favorite pieces is the large pan with the helper handle.  Hands down the best cookware set I have owned.  This steamer insert is FAR superior to the one I have now.  The price is terrific, too.  This is a lifesaver.   I like it a lot.

Stuff does not seem to stick to the all stainless pans too bad, but there is definitely some stains on the pots after a couple months' worth of use. .  Not sure if it is due to the all/almost all stainless material this is made of or the fact that my old pans were QUITE old, but I have definitely had to turn down the temp a bit when cooking since getting these.  I am sure I just need to get the right cleaner for them.  In addition to this I bought 3 more individual pans with the nonstick coating  same line  and I am glad I did because I definitely get the most use out of those ones.  This set seems to be a very nice compromise because it is not as expensive, has some all stainless pieces, and some with the nonstick surface. .   Great deal.

These are nice, solid pots.  I bought them so my teenage daughter could help with cooking pasta dishes without having to dump heavy pots of water  success! .  My only gripe is that I wish the steamer insert was a bit bigger. Again, I believe one of my best purchases and I will be buying other pans of this brand.

I have had to resort to using a round metal pie plate for those times when I need a cover.  Good weight for stability.  All in all, though, great little skillet for smaller meals.  Cleans up beautifully with a little soaking.  5 stars over all.   And sometimes, guys, we need to cover a skillet.   The way the handle is designed, those universal lids will not work, either.  -1 star for the lid situation.  If I had one complaint about this skileet it is that other lids in the line will not work with it, nor do they make one that will. But it, It is nice.  Cooks evenly.

It did show small black spots at the water line on the first use.  However it has performed flawlessly after I ran it in the dishwasher.  I will address some issues and concerns that I have read in other reviews for this pot. 1.  As you can see from the picture the pot is convection friendly.  So I love that it is stainless steel for health benefits but so easy to clean! Even when things look cooked on, I just make sure I soak it long enough and things slide right off with a sponge. I was looking for a stainless steel pot to take the place of my aluminum one that I used to cook in because my wife has a neurological condition that it is worsened by aluminum in her system. 2.

even dropped the lid, did not break the glass.  When one only needs the Top part of this arrangement with plenty of volume to accommodate things like 7-minute Frosting, THIS is the only one that I have found that fits the bill.  Washed it, soaked it, even baked it once at 350 for an hour, and nothing has broken or stopped working how it should. I have tried the 'as seen on tv' pans, anti stick pans from just about any big store, even a pricey 200$ pan i got for a wedding gift, can not stand to this pan.

The lid fits perfectly.  Recommended for people who cook large meals. This pan is quality all the way! Large, heavy and super easy to clean. Its also a heavy weight which is really useful - & I used olive oil in my recipe so when it was time to clean the pan was easily cleaned.

PERFORMANCE  outstanding . I use hold set to cook an my wife was amazing at how nice heat up she said outstanding.

The handles are very heavy duty but not suited to large hands, but they are easy to grip and they are solid. So far great pans.  I was in dire need so I caved and finallly bought these.  They work very well, everything cooks beautifully.  They are also very pretty if that matters to you.  As others have stated there is some sticking but that can be avoided by not cooking at too high of a temp.  Even when food has stuck if soaked with hot water and soap it comes right off.  I previously invested in a silicone/rubber dish scraper and that works perfect to clean anything really stuck on there.  Have not tested in the dishwasher yet but I have an older stainless pan I have thrown in there before and it is held up so I anticipate these should too.  Overall very happy with this set.

It is the right size for what I needed. I love this pan! It is beautiful as well as sturdy and functional!.

So worth it!. I love them so far! I have only had 1 issue with some sauce sticking to the pan, but I let it soak overnight and came back the next morning and it came right off with no scrubbing. After having used a cuisinart stainless stockpot for years, I had high expectations for this roaster.  I made an omelette and it did better at not sticking than my non-stick pans did! I did a lot of research before buying, and this is definitely a much safer option than the toxic non-stick ones I used to own.

Moving forward I am going all stainless steel.  This decision came as i wanted something that is durable and easy to clean.  This hit both check marks.  People do not think of cookware as an investment but they are.  I will definitely pay 2-3 times as much for something that lasts 5-10 times longer.  All I need is a white chef's coat and a superior attitude.

This is larger than I expected but we are loving it. Stainless steel is my favorite material in the kitchen - stays beautiful, does not scratch, and easy to clean up after a roast or a,Turkey.

I despise dishes but I am always happy to clean this because it usually handles the whole meal prep, so even though I have to hand wash it, I have less to do than most other nights. Function: We love this pan.  I use a dish wand  the kind that you fill with soap so you can hand wash without filling the sink  and did feel the need to switch to the non-scratch kind as I worried the regular pads were too abrasive.  I love love the large flat space and even heat distribution.  **If you have grown up with coated pots and pans and have never known anything else, do yourself a favor and read the instructions before you start cooking or you will not be happy with this pan.  I also love being able to transfer from stovetop to oven for many of our go-to recipes. **Value: I bought this as a gift for my husband, who had planned to buy me a much more expensive pan like this, and almost every time we use it he comments how glad he is that I got him this inexpensive option first.  Bonus: its large size cuts down on the amount of oil that jumps out of the pan and all over the stove and counter when my husband cooks!Cleaning: It does NOT function like a coated, non-stick pan but if you follow the instructions for both cooking and cleaning, your food will not stick and it is very easy to clean.  It filled a serious hole in our kitchen supplies and now handles all our large meals.  We have been using it regularly for close to a year and it still looks like new.  Prior to owning this pan, my husband did all the frying and I thought it was because I did not know how to do a good job, but it turns out I had just never had a non-temperamental pan.  Just a spritz  of cooking spray and I promise you that after your meal is done and the pan has cooled; a little bit of Dawn and warm water will raise up any baked on residue.  Especially for thin fish, this has been great.

I have made so many awesome stir Frys already!  This pan will see a lot of use!. This is a perfect pan.   I soaked the pan in water and with a Mr.  It heavy and it distributes heat evenly.

Using this product for closer to 2 years with no complaints.  Using it for boiling water and making baby food.   I use it for other things too, but this is my go-to for rice.

They work pretty well.   I was interested to try a set that was not coated with a non stick surface.   Not bad to clean.   the test was breakfast sausage patties.   was a little worried but came out ok.   Will have to use more oil to keep things from sticking. Good note is the pan is heavy enough even on the smallest pan so there is enough weight to offset the handle.   So thats good.   A little bit of the bad is im told the handles get hot.   Not a problem for me since im a man. .   but this was a problem for others using the pans. . . Bought this set when I moved into my apartment, and it serves me well.

It is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. We would not have bought so many this is the last set for our recently engaged dtr and her fiance!  Love love love these pans.

They are not really none stick pans but I still like them.  Definitely sturdy but when they have their life time warranty.  After washing they become cloudy and stained.  I hand wash them too.  This is meant for large birds or cuts of meat, but smaller poultry will cook, just the same.

This one had great reviews so I bought it. Let me tell you .  this pot has taken a bit of use and abuse and it is still the one I always reach for.   My ex-husband actually boiled it dry to the point the lower portion buckled slightly and this pot still works great.   Needed a general purpose, every-day use, type of pot that was nice but not too pricey.   I could not ask for a nicer piece of kitchen equipment for the price.   It is durable, easy to clean, and after 8 years shows no signs of failing. I do have other pots and pans, nice ones like All Clad and Le Creuset, but this one is my favorite.   With this one, I do not have to be careful of how I use it or clean it.   If something accidentally burns, I do not sweat it. I bought this pot 8 years ago from . I had highly recommend this pot to anyone looking for one.   I think I paid 20 dollars when I got mine and the price is the same now.   One of the best 20 dollars I have ever spent.  Very handy when making dishes like baked ziti or sautéed chicken breasts you want to finish in the oven.

Heck, sometimes I have even used it as a mixing bowl for cake recipes and its perfect. Somehow I seem to reach for this pot just about every time I am cooking for 3-5 persons.  It is nice and so easy to use. This is a great pot and I highly recommend it.  The handles never get hot with my style of cooking and I also use it as a makeshift wok at times.  I just love this pot and use it for literally all my medium to large dishes.  I boil pasta in it, do soups, large batches of bolognese sauce, chili, steam veggies in it, even cook rice in it and everything turns our right.  I did scorch the bottom of one of the skillets, and just used a little bit of Bar Keeper's Friend and it was right back to new.  The size and weight are perfect and the shape of this pot is really good, it is rounded corners make it easy to clean and food tends not to stick in the corners.  A word to the wise, as with ALL STAINLESS STEEL POTS AND PANS always remember to PREHEAT them before adding oil then the meat, etc.

Great quality of course and easy to clean.  I do not understand why people buy Teflon garbage. Loved this pan.

I love the handle design -- it enables you to hold the pan up and out a bit from your body as you carry it from a 450 degree oven to the countertop or the table.  The handles coupled with the depth of the pan makes it a bit of a trick to store, though -- I have taken to storing the oven  just trying to remember to take it out before I preheat! Update: July 2015.  Did not expect to use it for roasting meat, but I was so taken with the rack that I have ended up using it as a roaster, too.  Still going strong.  Do not understand the folks who feel it is flimsy -- it does not buckle, and I have dropped it  empty  a couple of times and it has not a ding.   At this price point, it is a sturdy pan which cleans up easily.  Because I roast a lot of vegetables with oil oil sometimes there is a little baked oil residue on the pan, but it comes off with a little extra elbow grease.  I am very happy with this pan  although I am still forgetting to take it out of the oven when I preheat! . I bought this for roasting vegetables -- I wanted something without nonstick coating. For preparing meals.

Great for make large portions of stock or soup. I am very happy with the many uses of this item.  Added benefit of the large steamer basket. Very good value.

It is the right size for what I needed. Its a great thick durable stainless pan.  It heats really evenly which is good if you are working on a crappy apartment stove burner, and gives food a nice golden crust.  It can hold a 4-5 quart chicken stew, or 2 pounds of spaghetti with room.  I have braised chicken thighs, roasted pork chops, and made big goopy vats of curry in it.  It builds up a nice fond, and deglazes like a teflon.  I had some stuck-on bits after I accidentally burned the chicken thighs that one time, but they came off with about an hour of soaking in water.  Would recommend to anyone - works just as well as a fancy pan, but costs way less.

ideal for cooking for parties  curries soups and lentils  in big quantities….  Best if we cook on slow to medium flame …. high setting does not give the best output it will stain the vessel . Best quality steel not too heavy or light ….  I liked it and my friends liked and ordered it too.  The frying pans distribute the heat wonderfully for even cooking.

I love this pan.  Got rid of like 6 other pans to replace it with this pan.  It cooks the food better too because whatever you are cooking is not crowded.  I use it for a stockpot too.  Very sturdy & great size.

To heavy for me to use the large pans,They are of very good quality, and well made pan. I love this wok it is a great size 14".

Name brand does not always guarantee quality - but going forward I will only buy name brands on .  I decided that I would spend a little more for the cuisinart name brand and so glad that I did. It is the right size for what I needed.  Heavy duty, excellent for cooking, cleaning and has not degraded in performance or appearance after 6 months.

Nice quality, extra bonus of measurements lines on the inside.  It is so nice, I may buy a second one.  Sturdy handle, would buy again.

This product is worth every penny - it is high-quality and durable - you know it from your first experience with it and I am sure it will last for many years to come.  I prefer the non-coating pans - that coating that wears away or chips - is not for me. I was satisfied with my shopping experience. I use this a few times a year and I have to say this one I purchased was a huge upgrade from the cheap one I bought from  years ago.

I have only used this pot a couple times since getting it. Wife and I use bamboo steamers almost daily and we get tired of replacing them every year so I bought this.  First off it is an excellent cook pot.  Everything solidly constructed. For cooking pasta or boiling something add the large insert and straining's a breeze.  Or for just steaming one thing just use the smaller basket. It is quick and easy clean up due to being stainless steel, but If you use all parts it is a fair bit to clean up because it is a good sized pot.  I like this thing so much that I may buy a smaller version just for smaller jobs like steaming a head of broccoli. But yeah, for the price this is a helluva piece of cookware.

Total cost was with taxes $29. Surface lasted 9 months it is not non stick anymore but hey that is about the limit . 00 divide that into 9 months comes out at 3 bucks a month.   Was going to buy another one today  but there is a 2 month wait in shipping  but I will buy the same one again. I use this product every and I love it so much better than the coated woks whose coating starts coming off in a month.

This is a wonderful 12 quart set.  So beautiful I almost did not want to use it.  I ran the set through the dishwasher and this unit actually fits nicely. If you are wondering how to hold up the strainer stick set of prongs at the high end and it will hold up just nicely.  See pic.  I might see if they have an 8 quart unit because I just really like the design and look of  this this line.  Do not know if I had cook a bigger heavier turkey in it, but for smaller roasts it is good.

At times the handle and lid get hot but that is the only issue for me.  The two handles are easy to hold on.

I like it because it is stainless steel.   I do not like that my food sticks when I cook in them often.  He likes to cook so I bought him his own set.

This cookware is extremely well made and easy to clean.  It cooks evenly although there is some heat transfer to the handle when cooking on high.  In fact, I have the entire set.  This is easily resolved with a pot holder.  Sturdy, pretty, cleans up well.

5 years ago for Christmas and have LOVED it!!  I saw some reviews and they must be a different product.   I have the cuisinart 14” stainless skillet. I use it regularly to cook 8-10 servings and it can easily do 15-20. I love this pan!!  I bought it 2.  It is definitely my favorite pan!7-8 pancakes at a time!. It is my favorite pan, better than custom $1500 pots.

We used this pan to roast a 16 pound goose and it was just big enough. After reading the reviews I decided to replace a similar  Chinese made  pan.   The previous pan has what appeared to be similar design and construction, but hot around the edges and much cooler in the center.   I was immediately shocked at how the center of this pan heated and checked the temperature with a non-contact Infrared Thermometer and found it fairly uniform across the pan,  slightly higher near the edges .   I have had to readjust my cooking technique from the old Chinese made pan and this has become my favorite for a majority of my cooking.  It is faster than my other pans and requires my attention because it will start to cook right away for such a large pan.  I have used this pan for several months now and it cleans up looking almost new, no black scorched areas as I have had in other pans.

Stainless steel is my favorite material in the kitchen - stays beautiful, does not scratch, and easy to clean up after a roast or a,Turkey.   It is extremely easy to clean, and, after using it & cleaning it many times, it continues to look as good as it did the day it arrived.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a great set of cookware on a budget. I made the best turkey I have ever made with this pan and the cleanup was a breeze.

It is the perfect size for a lot of one pot meals.  I rarely use the large stockpot because it is very large and if I need a large pot I have another one I prefer.  I have never been anything but very happy with them.  One of the main reasons I chose this set was because of their weight.  I am a small woman and I do not like to  sometimes can not  lift super duper heavy cookware.  A smaller stock pot would have been a nice addition to this set.  So that is point 1 in their favor - they are lightweight.  They are also sturdy.  I have cooked everything you can imagine in these things and they look great.  All in all, this is a great set.  I highly recommend, if you are new to stainless steel, you check them out.  I cook all manner of things just fine, nothing sticks or burns.  On the rare occasion that something does burn onto the bottom  forget and leave the burner on, it happens to us all  then a soak in the sink and a little Bar Keeper's Friend will take care of it.  It is really a fantastic value, this is my daily cookware, and I can not foresee myself ever needing to replace it.  I have had no breaking, pitting, staining.  nothing.  I use the 3 quart saucepan to make popcorn all the time and that requires dragging the pan across the burner repeatedly and even the bottom of that pan looks fine. . I purchased these 4 years ago from .  For example, I have several Le Creuset pans and while they are fabulous cookware  seriously, I am not knocking them at all, I hope to cook my very last meal in my le creuset dutch/*ahem French oven  they are ridiculously heavy.  There are some really great videos online that explain in fabulous detail exactly how to cook in these types of pans. Absolutely love it! Finally pots and pans that cook evenly and I do not have to worry about bit of black Teflon in my food!.  I think the 3 1/2 quart saute pan is the real stand out of this set - I use it constantly.  I stick them in the dishwasher and the only thing I make sure of is that I do not use the citrus dishwasher detergent as the product information said not to.

We can cook a ONE PAN meal in this with zero issues and FASTER then any other pan!  Even jumbo pans that take the entire largest burner footprint on our solid surface stovetop. We Love working with this pan!It is helping our daughter learn to cook without burning ; We can use the smaller of the expandable burners - using less heat to cook the same amount of food.   Thaws meat more evenly and with fewer complications.   Works perfect.   We are a family of 7.

I really love that it comes with the two baskets, one for steaming vegetables and one for straining after cooking. Loved this versatile pot.  Highly recommend adding this to your kitchenware, you will not be disappointed!.  I have successfully  made many pasta dishes and the creamiest mashed potatoes in it. I use this pan for everything.

Cooking oil as with stir fry is a great way to break down teflon coatings or the other toxic replacements for teflon in a way that you inhale or ingest them. It took me forever to pick these, but I am incredibly pleased with my choice. A few tricks to using them better: - Do not use high heat except for boiling water; these pans conduct very well. Basically, I used to use nonstick stuff; never again.  Cooking with stainless is amazing. Of these pots, the size variation is phenomenal, I use all of them regularly.  The largest pot is more than enough for cooking for 6, and the smallest pot is great for making sauces or soup for one.  The small pan is great for making quick breakfast things or meats for smaller meals, and the larger one is more than adequate for most things, though I augment the set with a yet larger Wok. The curve of the lip really does mean basically no dripping when pouring; pastas and sauces drain out incredibly easily.  The quality of this set is very high. I definitely recommend them; if you are considering switching to stainless *DO IT*, you will not regret it.

Since the food is cooking at such high temps, you really need to be in control. This is my second Wok in my life, and I have to say that I adore this one.  The handle is perfect and fits nicely into the hand. There was nothing that I did not like about this wok, everything from the size to the handle, even the weight is perfect and easy to toss food.  The key to using a wok is being consistent with moving the food around.  I would recommend this to anyone looking to start cooking with a wok or to replace their wok.  I love that it has a glass lid, even though honestly I do not use a lid when using a wok.  Really a great product all around. **This product was received free of charge for my honest review.  This is a very large wok and perfect for larger meals.  This purchase was a house warming gift for my son.

I use this mainly for lasagna but have also used it for roasting a turkey or baked ham.  The handles make it easy to remove from the oven.  It is a heavy duty pan with many use. Sure beats cheap aluminum roasters.

Trust me, do not be intimated by it is size.  Work with it and it will work for you!What a super nice stainless steel mirror frying pan!  MD. I had no idea this stainless steel frying pan was huge, but that is an absolute plus!Sometimes you need a pan of this size when cooking a large fabulous meal with space to stir, fold, and cook a mountain of ingredients.  Will last for years to come.

I am a chef and so i cook all the time.  I was a little hesitant to purchase any cookware than was not commercial grade.  I ordered these on a Tuesday and the  est.  day of arrival  was the FOLLOWING Monday-Friday.  My wife texted me at my work 3 days later Friday  to say they had arrived.  Super fast delivery!!!! Now to the cookware set, Everything was in impeccable shape when we opened our new cookware.  The weight was a little lighter than I am used to but they felt good and pretty substantial in my hand.  Do as they state and start out on low and move your heat up accordingly as you get used to them.  They clean up excellent as well  have not tried in dishwasher yet and probably will not , if your follow the basic instructions included with the set.  we have cooked anything from eggs to chili in them and have not had any issues with food sticking, and have not had any problems with cleaning.  Before you even think about buying stainless steel cookware, invest in a can of this or something like it.

Item is great quality for the price.  I am keeping an eye on it but I used it twice without issue  not IN oven just on cooktop.

It does not scratch my stove top. It is a great value for the money.

Sturdy but not to heavy for elderly person.  Work great with induction cooktop tops. I love the pots, I cook good soup, stir fry and stews.  Easy to clean.

It looks spotless and shiny after each use.   cleanup is a snap. I still use teflon for eggs in the morning but for all other uses, I go for stainless now and thiat 5 1/4 pot is a "MUST HAVE" for every kitchen.  If you do not have a pan like this, your kitchen is sorely missing.   I highly recommend you get one. I was dead wrong.   Well, most of the really expensive stainless pans like this are clad  that means that thye have an aluminum bottom that is clad in stainless steel - no seams.   If you look closely at this pan you have a stainless surface and at the bottom of the pan you see a seam and then a differen metal fused onto it.   This process makes this pan cheaper while giving it the same qualities as the much more expensive pans. Cladding is all the rage and at some point when I have a billion bucks, I will have a chef and will not care about whether my pots are clad or not.   This pan is wonderful to cook in and so easy to clean.   For now, I am enjoying this pot.   At some point I will get a clad one but I am very impressed with this pan - its construction and usability.  It is wonderful and looks brand new after so many uses. The handle is stainless also but it stays cook while cooking and has a helper handle that does get hot when you cook. I have been cooking on teflon coated pans for years because I always thought that my stainless pan would make my food stick and that I had never be able to get the charred carbon off from it.   It comes with a very durable stainless lid which seals it nicely. Overall, fantastic product - you will not find a better pan with this much value built into it out there and it cooks as good as the best clad pans out there. Give it a try!.  But great stainless pan overall.

That is what people enjoy doing, it seems - complaining.  The skillet is fantastic.  If it did not have a top, it would still be fantastic.  It will eventually shatter, harmlessly. A lot of people have complained about the top.  That is just how tempered glass works.  Do not ever ever ever ever clean your tempered glass top with anything other than a towel or the soft side of a sponge.  And never ever ever ever hit it against anything.  If you can manage that, it will last forever or until you no longer need it - whichever comes first. Needed a little saucepan this one was perfect! Very sturdy, never have had a problem with it tipping over, like I had read in some of the reviews.

The compact twin loop handles allow me to hold the lid on while I drain any excess fat and/or water, and allow the pan to set flat in the sink for soaking if needed.  A heavier lid would make the straining task more difficult. The lid is lightweight and a bit on the thin side, but it works perfectly to keep the heat and steam in for thorough cooking.  Also fits perfectly in the dishwasher without a long handle, and cleanup is a snap because there are no extra microwave dishes  think defrosting , an extra pan and lid to hold the volume, or a strainer to clean. I especially like the wide, thick, flat bottom of the pan, which ensures even heating and allows one to place a large amount of food in direct contact with the inside bottom of the pan.   After the meat is crumbled and browned I add water and bring it to a boil to make sure the meat is thoroughly cooked for safety reasons .  Much nicer than having to use two pans!  This is efficient and an energy-saver if you have a large amount of food to cook at one time.  The bargain price was irresistable, and I favor this pan over the heavier All-Clad now that arthritis has set in. There are only two of us to cook for now that we are older, and fixing and freezing ahead has freed up so much of our time to enjoy life. I bought this wide pan with the domed lid specifically so I could defrost and brown 4 pounds of ground meat all at once, and as it turns out, it is the perfect size!  I can actually process 5 pounds of frozen ground elk at once, which is important because I like to cook on one day then freeze meals for later use.   So if you live alone or have a small family, do not cheat yourself by thinking this pan would be too big and you would never have a use for it!  I hope this review is helpful to you. Have used many times and really like it.

Very handy. Has measurements marked on the inside.  But great stainless pan overall.

Right after making tea, I wash it, because cleaning is very easy,  I love cleaning this pan  it never burns at the bottom like my old revere saucepan. I bought this set one month ago.  I use the other pans in this set occationally.  . I love this set.  This cuisinart sauce pan I am using now is perfect.  It did not became black after many uses. I could not find any for less price, so I got this set. I used the 31/2 qt saute pan for deep frying,and it is perfect for deep frying. Overall I love this set.  I use the 11/2 quart sauce pan daily.  and stainless steel is better than nonstick.  It last for years and years.  I was looking for cook and strain pan ,not because I want the strain feature, but I wanted a drip free vessel to pour  the tea into the tea cups. I recommend it to anyone who wants a cookware set which can last for along time.  This pan does it all for me -- It is big enough to do most all of my cooking in one pan.

There are a lot of products in the stores now because of the popularity of stainless steel. I bought this to use on an induction cooker so the lack of triple ply up the sides is irrelevant.  This makes a big savings in the cost of pots and excellent even cooking from the even heat across the entire pan surface.

No doubt this will last many years to come. .   it is really a perfect size.  Another review I read, someone complained that there is too much space between the pot and the insert, and that it was a waste of water, apparently, this person does not realize that this is also a STEAM pot, and it is necessary for the extra space, so your food does not get water logged.  In fact, I can not wait to steam some crab legs, and some live lobster in it real soon!!  Anyway, I am quite pleased with my purchase, and I will NOT be returning it.  Also, it cleans up very nice, fast and easy, and it shines without leaving water spots..

The inside bottom is not level, I would have preferred a smooth surface -- but it is probably contoured to increase stiffness.  Pretty easy to clean, and makes it easy to roast fairly large birds.  It is a pretty good compromise on thickness -- it is fairly stiff, but not like a tank.  On the other hand, it is fairly lightweight.   So happy with these pans they are a breeze to clean. It is a fairly large roasting tray.

If you end up with this problem, soak in a 3:1 solution of water to chlorine bleach  Clorox  overnight and lightly scrub with a Scotch Brite pad. My wife and I have been married for 34 years and up until this purchase we had never bought a complete set of cookware.  We found that this set was the best reviewed for what we wanted in our price range  $150-500 , and it was also on the low end of the price scale  that kind of concerned us at first .  I would recommend this set to anyone wanting to not spend a fortune, but enjoy cooking with an excellent set of cookware. I cook at least five times a week, so have used this set well over one hundred times since we purchased it from  eight months ago.  I love it! It is easy to use and easy to clean.  We do not have a dishwasher, so I know all about how well it cleans up.   Cooks evenly, heats quickly.  We have since purchased the 14 inch skillet in the same set.  If you are not careful to deglaze properly and timely you will get the brown stains and burn marks that some have complained about with this set.

I cooked mostly on cast iron and thought this would be similar, boy was I wrong. Great Pan! Quality material and easy to clean !.

wish they offered purchase of 8 ,9, 10 & 11 inch as a set for a one purchase deal. love these. Very will made and the pot handle stays cool.   very pretty and it is worth it to me to wash them by hand.   got just what i expected.   still worth the extra minute or two washing them.

This is meant for large birds or cuts of meat, but smaller poultry will cook, just the same. This is an excellent quality roaster.  It is not easy to get at the pan juices and there is a tendency to nip a wrist on the hot rack if one is not incredibly careful.  Nonetheless, I suspect one would have the same issue with any other roaster.  This is a great product that will last many years. Love the dependable sturdiness of this stock pot.

Perfect Pot!!Just what I needed. Realize that these are quite heavy to handle.

A very versatile pot for cooking and GREAT value for the money.  My go-to pot everyday!!!. For preparing meals.

If have some black dot just use soda.  Cleans easy and cooks evenly. Easy to clean and fast.

You can not beat the quality for the price.  I highly recommend. I own several of these. The pans are a nice weight and seem to heat evenly.

Great quality of course and easy to clean. We needed another small capacity sauce pan and this one works great, plus it closely matches the set we already have, but by another manufacturer.

Very nice set. Using this product for closer to 2 years with no complaints. These are great! Heavy great for using on a gas stove.

Not the easiest to clean BUT definitely very good pans. This pan is great for heating soups, sauces and gravies.

Product works perfectly as described.  They clean well.  They look great.  Love them.

It heats up very quickly and distributes heat evenly making it great for busy cooks.   I will never go back to non stick! For the price this is a great value.  No worries at all! This one can burn a little and will stick if you do not soak and rinse well.  That said even after I burnt something on the bottom some good vinegar and baking soda soak and a little scrubbing made it shine like new! It was easier to clean than my old non stick which sticks.   So I want them all to look nice and maintain the look of all stainless steel. I was worried about switching from a non stick pot.

It was a learning curve to start cooking well with them but I found that they cook better after I scuffed them up with the scotch brite scrub pads, rinse, dry and then "season". First time stainless user but have had these for a couple of months now and love them.   I am GUESSING that the scuffs help hold the oil better  They are a very nice looking and sturdy set and I will probably never go back to non stick.  This is a very large pan.

We used this pan to roast a 16 pound goose and it was just big enough.   Some of the spaces on the grate around the welding points are a bit hard to get into for cleaning, otherwise the pan is easy to keep clean.   Super-durable, I imagine I will have this for a good 10-15 years.   So if you live alone or have a small family, do not cheat yourself by thinking this pan would be too big and you would never have a use for it!  I hope this review is helpful to you.

They require a little more immediate attention to cleaning than you can get away with using nonstick.  Overall, though, I am happy with the switch.  I bought this set over a month ago and, so far, I love it! They provide quick and even heat distribution.  They also look and feel very nice. I have been thinking about making the switch from nonstick to stainless steel cookware for a while now.  Stainless is pretty easy to work with - you just need a bit of oil or butter before you put any food into the pan.  It takes a very short period to adjust to using lower heat settings than you would with nonstick.

Good quality steel, heat distribution is perfect.  I wish they get a similar pan with the glass cover too but for a pan this checks all the points. Easy to hold and pour.  Well I have had these pans for 2 years and besides one issue, they are pretty much like new!The issue is with the large pan.

The handle truly does stay cool during normal stove top use. It is important to use some kind of oil when cooking in this pan, if you want to avoid sticking. It is very sturdy and looks good.  I personally have no problem using butter.   I use butter all the time in my cooking and no one in my family suffers weight problems, btw.  Never use the highest heat setting when cooking on an electric stove  I can not speak for gas stoves . As soon as you are finished using it, run a bit of water in the bottom of the pan and set it aside until you are ready to wash it.  The lids to the 6 qt and 8 qt pots in this line  which I also love  fit perfectly on the 10" fry pan.  It cleans up great every time using a soft sponge.  Even if you forget, run warm water in it when you do remember and maybe even set it on a warm stove top and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes, usually.  I have never had a problem with it cleaning up using this method.  As long as I wash with hot water, it comes clean with little pressure. This pan is for every day use, it is perfect for frying or scrambling a couple eggs or sauteing a good sized onion. I am sure this information is somewhere within other reviews here, but it is been over a year since I scoured them. If you do not use the highest heat and do not let it "cook" dry, it should give you faithful service.  It is very easily cleaned, and while heavy, will not break your arm every time you pick it up.

The set shows no wear despite daily use — nothing is loose or dented or discolored.   I absolutely love the drip free rims — I did not know such a thing was possible.   The handles always stay cool. This has been my daily cookware for over 7 years and I could not be happier.   It really takes some heavy-duty scraping with a metal spatula to get food off of the bottom of the pan while cooking.

Very pleased with my purchase sturdy easy to clean how much more can you ask for!P.   I have used it 10 times so far cooking a variety of foods.   I wanted stainless for versatility.   To date I have cooked 5 vegetable stir fry's, beans from scratch, veggie stews and soups and spaghetti sauce.   All came out great.   For me the key was prior to using for a stir fry was to non stick the pan.   I put the pan with nothing it on a medium high burner until the pan gets hot, then immediately put a high temp oil in like coconut oil and wipe the entire pot using a silicone brush or paper towel coat well heating until it lightly starts to smoke, take it off the burner let it cool down then wipe very well.   I do most of my cooking oil free except for that step, using broth, water, or cooking sherry and have gotten great results.   I hope this helps.

You will be happy with this purchase!. Even heat, easy grip handle, highly polished, gives as good of results as my All-Clad stainless steel pans.  The only kind of pan that may cook better is the old cast iron type, but this is lighter, prettier, easier to use, easier to clean and does not force you to worry about preserving a patina.

One of the big do nots was to NOT cook on high since the pan has a "Aluminum encapsulated base" that heats quickly and spreads heat evenly. I was not sure when I ordered this if I would like it or not.  We started on medium and had a delicious stir fry for supper. .  This worked nicely on the flat top electric stove, and it cleaned up easily.  I have always cooked with stainless steel - so I am no stranger to how to cook with it. Add on .  RIGHT IN THE BOX there is literature telling you of the do's and do nots with this pan, and how to properly take care of it. . . . .  but not willing to buy a toxic, non-stick product.  after using this several times - I am still happy with the wok itself, but the lid is very  too  heavy and the rim of it has already dented. .  I have not abused it at all - so I have no idea how it got dented.  I was in the market for a wok.  I think a stainless lid would have worked better, and been lighter.  which by the way - it is pretty low maintenance if you use it properly. .  Looking through the review, and the pictures of the burned pans, I was a bit hesitant, but plunged ahead anyway.  They clean well.

It is is easy to use and clean. I have now used this pan for almost a year.  I fry eggs every day without a problem.  This steamer insert is FAR superior to the one I have now.

Good thing about this pan is size is decent and if you are putting things together like stir fry or spaghetti this pan will do the job. I have tried several meals with this pan.  Also if you soak it, really easy clean up- unfortunately I have had to soak a lot because food sticks to it.  If cooking meat, I oil it first, and yet every meat has stuck.   Wow!They do well in the dishwasher, looking perfectly shiny after wash.

Will see what will happen. I bought this pan many years ago and never used it, it was sitting in my garage.  I was using nonstick pans. I decided to go off this cookware and back to SS, but I want it to be nonstick.   When I bought the first pan, many pans with glass lids indicated that the lid would not withstand high temperatures, which defeats the purpose!  However, this one can be used in a very hot oven without cracking.  I am thinking to do the same. I also saw that woman in Chinese cooking did the same for carbon steel wok, but she added cut ginger to onions.

If it needs more cleaning than just soapy water, I use my stainless steel cleaner, just a little.  It is in a can sort of like Comet.  It looks beautiful hanging in my kitchen.  Just always wash it out well after that.  On my electric burner, I will heat onions at level 6, add the veggies then turn down to 5 or less to steam with the lid on.  So far no problems at all.   Beautiful every time.  I actually plan to buy the 5 qt stock pot also since I like this so much.  However, I do follow the instructions not to use extreme heat.  All this to replace all my Teflon. I love the size of this  why bother with anything smaller   because I can stir-fry a huge bag of veggies in it. I have only used this pot a couple times since getting it. I add a little water to prevent sticking.

Also, once you are done cooking, take it off the hot burner and put the hot pan on a cool burner on the stove or on a hot pad or something heat resistant to let it cool faster. I have had a few stir fry pans and this is the best I have ever had! The pan looks great and the food looks so clean while you are cooking it! Unlike all the other stir fry pans I have used that requires high heat, you MUST use low to medium heat on this one.  If you do this before the oil in the pan burns and stains the pan, you will have an effortless cleanup! It takes me 30 seconds to clean this pan! The pan is light and easy to handle! The pan also has a mirror finish on the outside so it looks great-like a piece of art! The price on this pan right now is unbelievable! I bought another one for my son. P. S.  This is the only thing I had to get used to! If you set the pan on low to medium heat and just give the pan time to completely heat up, it works like a charm! You also have to use some oil in it.  Another big hint---When you stir fry, you have to stand there and keep flipping the food  two spoons, one in each hand, helps  till it is done.   I am glad we went with the ones we did.

Best part is they are non toxic so you can feel good using them knowing no toxic chemicals are seeping into your food. Learn how to cook with stainless and they last a lifetime.  They clean amazingly! Barkeepers Friend will be a lifesaver to keep them looking new and make sure you dry them after washing to prevent water spotting. LOVE these pans! I grew up always being told stainless was terrible because everything sticks, but I watched a few YouTube videos on how best to use them and I can say I have never had anything stick! You just have to know how to use them.

Bought because I just purchased an electric induction stovetop/oven.   Works perfect. Works as described.

My big gumbo pot is a little large now so this size is great.  Look no further.  My household has gotten smaller, with my kids grown.  I am over non-stick cookware. Living in Louisiana, there is a need for these pots.

Fits perfectly in my 8 yr old cuisinart pot.  Works great and will last a lifetime.

Good durability, heat spread, and a wide selection of cookware to make different dishes at home during the pandemic. Great little browning pan, plan on buying larger pan.

Heat pan/oil before adding food, much less sticking. Took the advice of others on here and threw away the lid since I already had one.  Food cooks beautifully.   I can lift this one  I am old  and cleanup is easy.   Sides are more vertical so more cooking space.   Had a copper bottom pan that was so much heavier and food stuck easily.

The quality of this product is good.  It did show small black spots at the water line on the first use.

This is a great set of SS Cookware.  Also I like that a soak in hot water is helpful for a fast cleanup.  I have been told to keep them out of the dishwasher and I have.  Stainless Steel scrub pad takes care of any cooking residue and keeps the pan shiny clean.  You could spend hundreds more for the same performance of these!.  A few of the lids have dings on the edges from getting knocked off the top of the pot rack and crashing onto the floor but they still get the job done.

Maintain temperature well.  Easy to clean. We use this pan to warm milk. A very nice looking pan, and can be used for warming, cooking various types of food.

Great wok without the hassle of needing to season it. We have had this product since the end of September and we love the set!  We wanted a  grown up  set of pots and pans because all of our others were one off buys or hand me downs from family.   Since we will not have a wedding for a few more years, we decided to go into a higher price range than we would have a couple of years ago.   I am glad we went with the ones we did. We have an electric stove and you do not need to turn the element up as high when using these, they heat up pretty easily!  I use them mainly, but my fiancee has used them a few times and he thinks they are pretty awesome too!.

I have not had any issues at all with these and I have been using them for a few months now. It is perfect for a large lasagna, it fits six noodles wide.  It is cleans easily.  It is sturdy and the handles are easy to handle with pot holders.

No hot spots on our induction stove. This pan is great for heating soups, sauces and gravies.  This is very similar to what I have used before, but even better.

nice size. i like it because it wont rust. Love these! I did a lot of research for new, healthy pots and pans and I made the right choice!.

Good price, long lasting, strong handle,. It is my favorite pan, better than custom $1500 pots.

The large capacity allowed for an entire large turkey carcass to be used for broth  broken down of course !  My only complaint would be the discoloration inside the pot that will not come off, but which does not effect the performance.   It does spoil the shiny appearance of the pot I liked when I made the purchase.   I still believe it is money well spent!. This is a great stock pot!  With the included insert, making broth, pasta and tamales is so much easier.  That is what people enjoy doing, it seems - complaining.

Food cooks well and can be used for many of our roasting/baking needs. This is a sturdy pan that cleans up easily, even when we do not line it aluminum foil.  Definitely love this product.

This is the absolute best non-stick pan I have ever used.  In fact, I would argue that any competing pan should use this as a comparison before deciding their product can use the words non-stick in their description!  I liked this product so much, I bought another set for my mom.  I never write reviews - I bought this pan almost 2 years ago and decided it is still worthy of writing one. Love these! I did a lot of research for new, healthy pots and pans and I made the right choice!.

Great Sauté pan with a lid, I use to cook chicken, Spaghetti sauce and drop the noodles in and mix.  Easy to clean if you know about stainless steel cookware.  If you are only allowed one pan in your kitchen this should be it very versatile.  Bought it to replace my copper bottom pan I had used for decades, but with a new glass top stove I bought this.

and they are just as easy to clean as a non-stick pan without the worry of chemicals.  Just do not burn anything in them and they will last a lifetime.  that I finally decided to give stainless steel a try.  The saute pan is not my cup of tea--too difficult to clean, uses too much oil, and everything seems to stick; the other three pans are pure gold.  And even if you do burn something in them, you can still get it down to bare metal with a little work.  They do not need as high a heat to get right, either.  Try that with teflon and you will ruin the pan. I have gone through so many Anodized aluminum pots and pans and teflon coated pots and pans, etc.  No chipping, no scratching with utensils, no flaking, and no worry about toxic fumes.   Turn off the stove and enjoy eating whatever you cooked.  I have used them for beans, stews, soups, sauces, pasta, oatmeal, rice, etc.

I am from the deep South and am used to our wonderful Southern Crusine like fried chicken. simply delicious!.  Although I tried my hand at stir frying using a large skillet, it never turned out very tasty. . always soggy.  I am so grateful that I purchased this stainless wok.  I have only had it a few days, but I use it at least once a day and sometimes twice.   I love the taste of the food cooked in it. . .  It is delicious! Some folks complained about the glass lid and it is huge, so you always have to be careful when using glass lids to treat them with extreme care.  They could have made the lid better by having a wider stainless rim on it.   The thin rim around the edge may be why it breaks easily.  And since this lid and the Wok itself is very large. . .   The inside bottom does have some surface scratches from my whisk  but it does not affect its functionality in any way.  I am glad I did not let the concerns about the glass lid keep me from purchasing the wok.  Once you taste the food you cook in it you will appreciate the large size. . . if that is what it takes to get delicious stir fried food.  Being stainless, it cleans up well and is dishwasher safe  although it takes up most of the top rack of my dishwasher .  I shopped around and  had the best price.  I have been using coconut oil  because I read about the health benefits .  You do not need to use very high temperatures with this utensil.   It conducts heat very well.  The food cooked in this Wok turns out wonderful every time. .  Have never cared too much for oriental cooking. it takes a little getting used to.

It cleans up very easily and is still bright and shiny after weeks of use.   Very well made and heavy duty. I love this pan. Love the dependable sturdiness of this stock pot.

I was very skeptical. The top review here is from 2003.   That skepticism is gone after 2 months of use of this pan.   Do not bother!!This pan is really awesome-- it cooks evenly, cleans up easily with .   12 years later, I bought this because I was tired of teflon that goes downhill within a year and you just throw it out. I love these pots! The handles stay cool during the entire cooking time! The fry pan is excellent and the food is fried to perfection! I also like that the pots do not have to be put on a very high flame to boil or cook something! Very happy with these pots!.

Very sturdy, easy to clean and cooking product. Pay attention to size.

My husband and I purchased a 10 piece set of these pots and pans about 5 years ago.   My husband is a culinary arts teacher and was so impressed with them that he bought sets of them for his classroom.   I bought a couple of these smaller pots to supplement our set and could not be more pleased.  They clean up nicely without much scrubbing  I use a plastic scrubber inside if something has stuck  and wash in the dishwasher. We had Revereware, with the copper bottoms, for many years.   I always liked the stainless steel interiors, but the copper was dull because keeping them shiny was work.   Then we had a set of Calphalon anodized aluminum.   Initially, I liked the even heating, but the finish will start to flake off eventually, and did after about 7 years. . . . so, back to stainless steel.   These have the best of both worlds.   The disc on the bottom provides even heating and the overall stainless design keeps them looking new.   For this price point, I highly recommend them. .   I called  and they had me a new set at my house the very next day and I return the original at their cost.

cover, shake the system via they heat resistant handle  the system is heavy duty, so the lid stays in place when shaking  and listen to my sweet kernels explode.  When 1-2 seconds between pops can be realized, remove from heat, dump in massive IKEA bowl.  lightly douse with more safflower oil, stir to apply evenly.  Medium-high heat, safflower oil, 4 test kernels, when they pop, I add between 100 and 1,000 kernels, dependent on how fat I am feeling.  Heavily douse with fresh cracked pepper, lightly douse with truffle salt.  Lord what results is just incredible. Love it.  i am in college, the only other thing I cook are eggs in the morning, during which I use my Marshall's $8 dollar non stick pan.  works perfectly.  Use it to make popcorn. My daughter got a set of these for a wedding gift and we cooked chili in the biggest pot and pan.

The possibilities are endless, the only limit is your creativity.   The Pan is also very sturdy and has held up to my abuse.   One feature that is not advertised, but that I found extremely useful, is the ability to bake with Pan.   If you are looking for a versatile Pan that will last a while, this is a great option. As a collage student, this Pan was awesome. Cooks clean and do not burn anything.

-Great price. I got this as a Christmas gift to my parents last year and every time I visit they tell me how much they love it. Cons:-Has some scratches on the bottom already, but I put most of the blame on my parents.  It has become one of their favorite kitchen accessories, and I am glad I bought it for them.  Just do not try and scrape it off with anything metal and you will be fine. -Glass lid fits perfectly and lets you see how your food is doing inside as it cooks. Bottom line:This is a great pan for the money and I would recommend it. -Easy to clean.  They use it for everything from a frying pan to a roasting pan, it works wonderfully on both the stovetop and in the oven.  I will be getting one for myself soon, but in the meantime I will enjoy whatever delicious home cooked food my folks whip up when I visit them for Thanksgiving soon. -Heats up quickly and evenly.  It cleans up very easily and is still bright and shiny after weeks of use.  Has great heft to it and really feels built to last.

love it. Used it right away.  Nice heat distribution and easy to clean.

This set came with every piece possible for your cooking needs! Every size pot and pan you need for cooking a full meal.  And perfectly fitted lids for each pot and pan.  Nothing sticks to my pans and I never get water spots left over after washing.  And a soft cloth.

The steamer pot is a little small, but easy to use as it stacks on top of the medium pot when in use, sparing my hands from the hot steam when picking up or lower my food. This set of pots and pans is so awesome.  They get used heavily in my kitchen and clean up easily.   From heat distribution to exchangeable lids, you know what to expect when you add on more from the same line.  I use white vinegar on the inside to remove deposits and a little liquid Bar Keepers Friend on the outside to get a shine and that says "I never use these to cook".

I seared sausage and some veggies before adding the tomatoes and nothing stuck or burned to the bottom it was awesome and it made clean up quick and easy. I wanted a pan for both the stove top and the oven. I have been looking for a pot with no hot spots that would scorch on the bottom and I have found it.

Holding a pan full of hot food can be tricky, but that extra handle makes a big difference. So far this product exceeds my expectations.  It is definitely her go to cookware now.  As of now I Rated the durability at a 5.  But we have only had it for a short time I will revisit later if needed.

Running water into the strainer does not help, because it immediately drains out. I have been eyeing this pot for years.  I find it easiest to clean the strainer by swirling soapy water with the strainer inside of the big pot and scrubbingif you are using this pot for pasta or steaming, the meat grit getting stuck on the strainer will not be an issue.  It is a little bit annoying to wash the strainer, because some grit will get stuck to both sides of it.   You wont be sorry you made the switch due to the fact they will last pretty much forever if treated right and you will no longer expose your loved ones to the chemicals used to make non-stick pans.  I am so happy I finally bought it.

When one only needs the Top part of this arrangement with plenty of volume to accommodate things like 7-minute Frosting, THIS is the only one that I have found that fits the bill.  It is absolutely true to the measurements given in the description, has a long handle that is riveted to the pan and comes with a stainless steel lid. The old adage "Buy Well, Buy Once" certainly applies to the double boiler. I bought this pot set to replace old ones that chipped and failed.

They rated this pan #1. Here are the actual dimensions:Outside diameter at the top  flange to flange  6 1/8”The flange is 1/4” so the diameter below the flange is about 5 5/8”It sits 2 6/8” tallThe handle on the lid sits 1 3/8” highThe pan DOES NOT TIP!  The handle is light and I can place the pot on my gas cooktop and it does not tip. I found a website that ranked the 16 best 1 qt saucepans. Even when it is empty.  I bought this to replace an  1 qt aluminum saucepan that turned grey after washing and turned my dish towel black. This is now my favorite cook pot.

This was much better quality than what I had and should last for years. My old pot/colander developed a tiny hole in the bottom and I needed a new one.  Great for spaghetti, blanching tomatoes from the garden, etc. This product sells at Sears for $80 so when I saw this on  for $28, I bought it right away!  I own the .

Yes, do not underestimate the value of this. I have been out of college and cooking for three years, and wanted to replace the old nonstick pans I inherited from my husband  the cheapest he could find at  when he was a bachelor .   I wanted something that would be better for our health and hold up for a good long while, and decided on stainless steel.   I just got these in two weeks ago, and have been very impressed!  They are very sturdy, look beautiful and cook great!  I was a bit worried about transitioning from cooking on nonstick to stainless steel that my food would stick, but it is been fine.   We have had success with everything we have cooked, even eggs.   I have also followed others suggestions to cook on lower heat.   I have also been pleased that the handles do not get hot.   I am very pleased with this set.   I would recommend them to anyone looking to switch over who can not afford more expensive brands.

It can steam 2 or 3 different kinds of veggies at the same time, and remove one when cooking times differ.  The stainless is easy to clean, and it seems like a well made pot.  Love this addition to my kitchen.  Great for make large portions of stock or soup.

That is why I only rated a 4 for durability.   Will not know for a number of months and usage.   Have not used all the pieces yet, as they are so new. Works very well on induction cooktop. This pot and pan set is a really good buy for the money.

The one thing I noticed immediately that I was suprised and excited about is that all the saucepans have measurements on the inside, which I did not expect and I think is genius.  Also the lids are interchangeable, so every pot and pan has a lid that fits it, even the steamer.  I watched the video of the set and that is not the set you will receive.  I have not cooked with it yet but they seem very sturdy and good quality.  The set is as pictured and listed so I was not disappointed, but there seemed to be a “similar” set in the video.  I know a lot of people complained about how they looked after they cooked with them the first time, but that is not necessarily a concern of mine since I was looking for durability in a set that would last me a long time.  There is no pasta strainer and they have glass lids unlike the ones in the video.  It is a beautiful set of cookware and I hope to be using it many years from now.  I had read the previous reviews and they were mixed about what exactly came with the set.  They are easy to clean, although I usually line them with parchment paper.

I use it mostly for cooking rice, but can be used for other stirring.  Not sure if it will burn or not - never tried making a stir fry.  Stainless Steel scrub pad takes care of any cooking residue and keeps the pan shiny clean.

Solid, even heating, easy to handle.  I have no experience in cooking with a gas stove- when I cooked in a kitchen of a rented home I had to pay attention to keep the pans at moderate heat because on high heat the inside of the pans get slightly charred.

It is a very beautiful skillet and will include the Barkeepers Secret for this skillet and his other SS pots and pans he has to keep their beautiful shine.   I am including a few of the more helpful hints on using the skillet with his gift for him to read before he begins using it.   Since I am giving it to him as a gift I will not be testing it, but will ask him to do this and send in a review.   I bought the skillet because of the great reviews  when the majority of customers rate it 4-5 stars, I have a tendency to look at those ratings, rather than the lower ones . GingerSpice Modesto, CA.   I went to the 12" skillet picture and that is what the 14" skillet looks like.   I am assuming the 12" pan has slightly more rounded sides  the 14" picture  because of diameter. I do not like how they stick but they will last forever and I just have to get used to cooking with them.   The disappointment I have with it is that when I looked at the picture for the 14" skillet before ordering and received it, discovered they are not the same. I bought this skillet for my son, who is a great cook.

They are dishwasher safe but I still prefer to wash these by hand right after I cook dinner, sometimes filling them up with hot water and letting them sit for a few minutes helps as well.   This set has the classic stainless steel look, which initially caught my eye when browsing around for a new set.   The pieces are nice and heavy and with proper upkeep will keep looking amazing for a long period of time.   I browsed through many a cook set, these were definitely one of the better priced sets and by a large margin.   Cooking with this type of cookware is definitely a change from nonstick and will take some time to get used to.   I bought these for less than $160 and I feel like I got a steal!Pros-Immaculate stainless steel lookHeavy/well madePerfect for searing foodCan be used in the ovenCons-Upkeep- Not like a traditional nonstick set, will take some scrubbing to keep looking good.   They are also perfect for putting into the oven for cooking, I have put them in at up to 400 degrees and it holds up, just remember to get an oven mitt to get it out of the oven and be cautious because it will remain hot a while after you take it out!  Cleaning is also something I went ahead and researched, I wanted these to stay beautiful for a long period of time.   This is my first cookware set that was not of the nonstick family so I had to do a little research on the proper cleaning and more importantly proper cooking techniques.   Honestly these have been the easiest set to clean - all you have to do is follow the instructions sent with the product.   The cookware gets hot, quick, and might catch you off guard the first couple of times using it but after a couple times of use it becomes the new normal.

I read the reviews before I bought it, and I was hesitant about the handle tipping thing, but that has not been an issue in my kitchen.  Even when empty, it seems stable and balanced to me.  It is practical and attractive and useful.  I make a warm beverage every morning for my breakfast and this pan was purchased primarily for that purpose.  It is attractive and it pours nicely.  No longer do I need to cook several small portions of spinach at a time. I love this little pan.  I use it for other small jobs, too.

I opened the lid about an hour or two later, and my food was still relatively hot.  It heats up quickly, and be sure to read the instructions as it says to not use higher heat on it.  It is actually quite large.  Great for when you are cooking one-pot meals for the week.  It fit an entire 1-Ib box of fettucine, including a jar of tomato sauce, 2 cups of milk, 1 pound of ground meat, and 2 of those long squashes.  Putting the lid on really keeps the heat in also.  It is a little bit annoying to wash the strainer, because some grit will get stuck to both sides of it.  I was amazed by how much food it held.

I absolutely love these pans! Just make sure you cook on low to medium heat and they will always clean up like brand new!. Heat distribution.

Cleans easily.   HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I use this pan for everything.  I did not need that one.

I have only owned this pan for a couple days now but so far it seems to be doing great. Arrived early, so I got to roast the 12lb x-mas turkey in it after all! Definitely looking forward to cooking with it more. Pros:+ Really big, plenty of room, could have roasted a bigger turkey+ Cleaned up easily - I was surprised since it is not non-stick+ Cooked the turkey very well+ Can use it as a regular roasting pan w/o the rack+ Rack is vary spacious making it easy to clean/scrub+ Nice handles+ Not nearly as heavy as I thought it would beCons:- REALLY BIG could not fit in any of the cupboards  had to store it under oven - Stained slightly & I did not want to take the time to remove small stains since they do not impact cookware performance- Difficult to maneuver under/in sink for handwashing  had to wash one half at a time and then *carefully* rinse to keep water off the floor.

Great pan as long as you do not start out on hot heat.  I bought another set as a wedding gift because I love my set so much.

I love love love this pan.  I had a cheaper version from T-Fal but I wanted something higher-quality and non-stick.  This pan does it all for me -- It is big enough to do most all of my cooking in one pan.  The handle is awesome to have, and I use this pan every time I cook.  Only other dislike is that its very heavy, so its not easy to toss foods in the pan, but not a huge deal.

This product sells at Sears for $80 so when I saw this on  for $28, I bought it right away!  I own the . This pot is the perfect size for boiling 4 eggs, making a poached egg, warming up a cup or two of soy milk.  It is of heavy weight, no cheap thin metal here, it is a good purchase.

My wife likes so I love Thanks!!.   The eggs I did on a lower med.

I highly recommend this skillet and found that medium heat is all that I need to fry and cook on a glasstop stove. I bought a whole set of these pans decades ago and really liked them.   My non-cooking Ex ended up with those and my new wife  also not a cook  had odds and ends of pots and pans—some good, most not.   It is pretty, sturdy and highly functional.   I have been toying with the idea of moving into all clad but no more.   This is just as good at a fraction of the price.

Bought several single items from the Chef's Classic about five years ago, that get daily use, and have held up great.   Purchased this set for my daughter when she moved across country to her first apartment.   As she is a trained chef, she knows quality, and this set provides that at a budget price.   No, its not non-stick, and you need to clean it up properly should things get scorched along the edge.   However, anyone purchasing stainless should expect the same.   You will get consistent heating, along with non-stop strength in the rivets and handles. I cooked on the stovetop for a crowd of 8, then proudly placed this in the middle of the table for serving.

It has a nice, substantial feel to it. I hand washed and dried immediately per instructions  attached an image  and they look great.  I found it well-balanced with no danger of tipping, and the handle proportional to the size.  I use it on gas but I see it is imprinted “induction ready” on the bottom.  I love that the rim is rolled to make it easy to pour from.  The handle is comfortable.  The lid fits tight. A 1 quart pan is small, for boiling 1-3 cups of water or two boiled eggs.

Pops right into the oven from the stove with no issues. My old pans were well-used and beat up.   Saw these, checked reviews other than  and decided to give them a whirl.   This is one of the smarter buys I have made lately.   Good weight, well built, no hot/cold spots.   Worked out well.

I love this pan so much I bought a second one. I am an avid iron skillet cook.  The 8 inch size is also perfect for cooking for one or two.  However I have not had to leave it to soak yet. It is not as heavy as an iron skillet the same size, but it is not super light either.  It is thick bottom warms and holds heat like an iron skillet, but it cleans up much easier and can be left to soak with no worries.  The handle is all metal so it can go from stove-top to oven.  It cleans up very easily. The pan is easy to clean and versatile.

Still looks like new, very versatile and cleans easily.  They are easy to keep clean--I fill with hot soapy water and soak before washing if there is any hard to remove residue and I never put them in the dishwasher.   Used this pan almost everyday for 6 months. One of the best purchases ever.

I would like a bigger fry pan but it does not seem to be available as a single purchase.  At least I have one pan.  It out shines all my odd pans. This product is reasonably light, cooks well and is easy to handle.

I usually cook eggs in it so that is all I can really tell you about.   I turn the heat down, cook my eggs and take the pan off the heat.   This is what I do.   I usually add very hot water and let it cool that way.   Cleaning is a breeze.   I will not say that my food slides out, but cooked on scrambled eggs comes off easily. I LOVE this skillet.   I use it pretty often and the skillet is still in perfect condition.  The handle has never gotten hot.   At all.   I DO use PAM and I do use high heat  but only for a moment to speed things up .   A very nice skillet!.   Had a copper bottom pan that was so much heavier and food stuck easily.

Like another reviewer said, non-stick = hot pan + cool oil  i.  I have only owned this pan for a couple days now but so far it seems to be doing great. e.  do not pour the oil as soon as you start preheating the pan .  I love that I do not have to wait forever for it to heat up and it distributes the heat evenly.  I did not put it in the dishwasher yet so I do not know how it would hold up but handwashing it has been a breeze, specially since nothing was sticking on to it anyway.  So far I have sauteed some greens and fried an egg in it and I had no problems with food sticking. I bought this to use on an induction cooker so the lack of triple ply up the sides is irrelevant.

But for a quick and easy fix or starter kitchen, I would definetely recommend this set. This pan has performed will the 5 times that we have used it.   The heat distribution is great and it is still shiny and looks new.   The bottom is magnetic for induction cooktop use.

Soak for a few minutes in Dawn dish detergent and food comes right off. Beautiful roasting pan.   It is lite and cleans up perfectly.

This pan I find useful to boil 2 or 3 eggs in, a can of soup, heat up sauces, it is a nice little pan for a person that lives alone or a 2 person household.  Not the easiest, but worth the extra work to avoid the harmful chemicals that come from nonstick cookware.

It heats quickly, and gets hot enough for stir fry to  sizzle . Realize that these are quite heavy to handle.

And a soft cloth.  Oh, never use a metal spoon to stir. This pan will last at least 10 years if you hand wash with Dawn deter.  I really love that it comes with the two baskets, one for steaming vegetables and one for straining after cooking.

Perfect fit for 11" and 9" pots and pans. I love this pan! It is beautiful as well as sturdy and functional!. Works as described.

I might be unfair by not giving it 5 stars all the way.  I have no experience in cooking with a gas stove- when I cooked in a kitchen of a rented home I had to pay attention to keep the pans at moderate heat because on high heat the inside of the pans get slightly charred.  Not too bad to clean but who likes the extra chore! Otherwise I think that was a good buy. so handy after cooking vegetables.

As you can see I prepared 12 lamb chops without crowding and they cooked beautifully.   I also deglazed the pan with a balsamic reduction for a savory sauce. I wanted a large frying pan so that I could cook entrees for a family of four without batch cooking.   I did hand wash which was easy because it did not fit well in my dishwasher.  The only negative is that very thin strands of dry pasta can stick through holes in the bottom.

Love the flat bottom and high sides. Small kitchen, so I hate buying things that take up space and do not have multiple functionality, but I finally broke down and bought a separate stir fry pan because everything was spilling out of our regular 14-inch frying pan for our family of 4.   Can be used on any stovetop  gas, electric, induction .   Can go into oven up to 500 degrees.    Glass lid only to 350.    Did I mention it has a lid?  Cleans up well.   Glad I made room for this pan because it is a keeper.   Will likely stir fry more often now that I have it.  My food does not burn as it does with other pots and pans even cuisinart ones.

Years ago, I started out with a matching set of stainless cookware, but somehow I now have a hodge-podge of many different brands and styles, all in the mid-price range.  Although I would love to have All-Clad  so far, that is not in the budget!  these have worked perfectly for me for many years--the quality of the material and construction is very good, they are of moderate weight--heavy enough for food not to burn easily, light enough to carry around easily.  And they look very nice despite all of the wear and tear my family and I impose on them. I like this line of cookware.  They are easy to keep clean--I fill with hot soapy water and soak before washing if there is any hard to remove residue and I never put them in the dishwasher. . I have purchased several pieces in the Chef's Classic series as well as the 5-ply over the years. CONS:- Largest skillet and sauté pan do not fit in my dishwasher well.

Works well on my induction cooking plate. Very good saucepan with a nice shiny lid.   Sturdy and heat up fast and evenly.

I was worried about the teflon coatings and ordered this product.  This product is great for stir fry foods.  Also, the lid comes in handy for covering and cooking food.  The heat distribution is uniform and the heat spreads evenly across the base of the wok. The only downside is the weight! It is a bit heavy compared to other cheap nonstick pans of similar size.  I was excited for this to come is for a couple of roast recipes I was want to try out but did not have a roasting pan to make them.

I bought this pan more as a roaster, I have a huge one that would do a 20+ lb turkey or  rib half slab.   But honestly it is a pain to work with when just feeding 4-6 people.   I saw this for an excellent price  Yes I compared with several other online retailers, but prices change still check .   Very impressed with how easy it cleans and it keeps its beautiful mirrored surface.   Highly recommend.   My review is not as a Lasagna Plan but as a roaster.   I had read other reviews for Lasagna prep/usage.  Clean-up is easy but I had recommend hand washing to increase the life of the non-stick coating.

It is not non-stick but cleas easily unless you overcook something.   When stuff sticks and you have to scrub the finish seems to hold up well. This is a good quality roasting pan.  We found that this set was the best reviewed for what we wanted in our price range  $150-500 , and it was also on the low end of the price scale  that kind of concerned us at first.

I love these pots! The handles stay cool during the entire cooking time! The fry pan is excellent and the food is fried to perfection! I also like that the pots do not have to be put on a very high flame to boil or cook something! Very happy with these pots!. We would not have bought so many this is the last set for our recently engaged dtr and her fiance!  Love love love these pans.

Eggs were also almost easier than before, cooked on low heat with a little butter. After many years of hearing how non-stick pans are poisoning us slowly with every meal, I decided to spend a little on a long term investment with this incredible cookware set. Besides the less-than-obvious benefits of enhanced flavor you seem to get with the stainless steel surface, I LOVE the fact you can just give em a rinse after they cool a little and toss them in the dishwasher.  I was always under the impression that it would be difficult to cook in something that was not lined with Teflon, but really what most of these reviews say is true: just use less heat and it will cook exactly the same and probably taste better.  Sure, I get some scratches, but I think it adds character with every use.  I do not know why I was so afraid of having to figure that out.  Unlike teflon, which will add toxic flakes to your next meal ; Water hard-boils at medium now on my electric range, and I keep thinking pleasantly that I might even be saving electricity in the long run. If you remember the horrors of cooking  burning things  in an aluminum pan/pot, it is not the same thing.  I know it has to do with how well the thick, multi-layered bottom conducts heat, and I could not be happier with the purchase. I made the best tasting bacon I had ever had in the skillet.  I have braised chicken thighs, roasted pork chops, and made big goopy vats of curry in it.  It took me 3 minutes to figure out the equivilent of 'high' with these new pans by moving up a notch every 30 seconds until I got a familiar sizzling sound.

It will never come clean but thats ok. I bought this this small heavy bottom pan to sear and blister peppers specifically. I had this same pan for few years but accidentally burned it to a point that I could not restore it to its former glory  my fault .  Its all i use it for and it works perfectly.

So, each time I wash it, I add a little vinegar to the soapy water, and it looks brand new. This pan came with a learning curve since I had never cooked with SS before.  If I have stuck on food, like hamburger crunchies, I heat the soapy water on the stove, just for a minute or so and it all releases.  Lower heat, less fiddling.  Have not thrown it in the dishwasher yet, but really, it is so easy to clean there is no reason to.  It took me about 5 tries and some research to fry potatoes successfully.   I use it pretty often and the skillet is still in perfect condition.  We have hard water, which is what caused the discoloring the first time out.

Hope they continue to hold up. The 3qt saucepan did some snapping and popping where the base connects to the bottom of the pot, ending in a warped bottom, and so we are looking again for the next saucepan. Real good pots and pans set, used every dish in here multiple times and no issues, distribution of heat is almost as good as a cast iron but so much easier to clean.

I like it a lot. I just made stir fry in my new pan and it came out great.   Finally, I decided to switch to this set and I am very glad I did.  It is easy to clean and a great size for chili , spaghetti sauce, and soups but also low enough to sauté in.

They are not black, just  used . I can not believe I have have not reviewed these yet.   I can still fry up 7 slices of bacon, drain the grease.   I use each of them at least 3-4 times a week because I like to cook.   Carefully wipe the chunks off with a paper towel.   I do not want to have to transfer pans.   I want a pan that spreads the heat evenly.   Return to the burner add a splash of bacon grease, use a whisk on 5 or 6 eggs and pour into the pan.   And last but not least, a pan that is nonstick coating does not go away.   Stir around with a metal whisk until they are how you like'm.   For the money?  YOU CAN'T GET BETTER VALUE!  The only thing wrong with my pans is  the bottoms are not perfect chrome.   Pour onto plates and let it cool down. And when I like to cook, I do not like things to stick.   Ideally, a pan in the dishwasher is an awesome concept.   That routine for all this time has made the bottoms of my pan a bit messy.   I purchased these pans and their lids March 2013.  Not an unwieldy pan.   That was my expectation when I bought these pans.

But mind you I waited an entire year before I review the product just to make sure it lasted and my goodness besides the scorch they insides and everything is like brand new still.  No scratches or sticking in the pot, lid screws do not come undone and does great in dishwasher. Only problem I have is if you go above medium  6 setting on most stoves  it scorches the bottom real dark after multiple uses.  Boil for about 5 to 10 minutes medium-high and there you go.

The bottom is flat!! It is all stainless steel, including the lid.  It is got some weight to it.  It is probably one of our go-to pans.  It cleans up very easily and is still bright and shiny after weeks of use.

This set was bought after getting some pieces from this series second hand, the quality is fantastic, the measurement inscribed at the sides is very helpful, it has a good weight to it, not too heavy neither too light, love the simple, minimalistic design. I hated the teflon one I had, it chipped and was a beast to clean because the teflon chipped off into the pan.  I did not feel safe so I found this stainless steel oven pan and I have used it 3 times and very happy.  Easy to use, big enough for a big bird, easy to clean.  Perfect.

I had a learning curve  with a inexpensive pan . I am trying to get into stainless steel cookware .  But this pot is wonderful.  I love it .  Cooks evenly , retains heat , and most importantly, it is very easy to clean . I use hold set to cook an my wife was amazing at how nice heat up she said outstanding.

I like the product. I got this for my fiance, who is the cook in our family.  It was his first experience with stainless pans, so he did quite a bit of research before attempting to cook in it for the first time.  Even with the extra work, he now refuses to use any of our other pans and I am getting him a full set of the Chef's Classic pans for Christmas!Using enough oil is really key, as is not using too high of heat.  It took him some effort to get the temps right, as evidenced by my fried eggs that were completely browned on the outside yet still fully runny on the inside the first morning, but now that he's got it down, he can even do a perfect over medium egg in this, bringing it up slow.  On the advice of others, he does not use any cleaners on these besides water and a sponge, treating it more like cast iron.  He's been cooking pretty much every meal in this one pan for the last month and it is still looking great!The only negative thing I can say about it is that 12  is smaller than I thought, which really is not a bad thing at all.

I especially recommend this set to those wanting to migrate away from potentially harmful non-stick coated cookware. I like everything about this product from the beautiful appearance to the high quality.  It was my first time cooking with stainless steel and I followed the instructions to use lower heat and I was surprised at how fast and evenly the food cooked! Using less heat also means conserving resources and helping the environment.  I decided on this one because it is so beautiful.  I just used warm water and a cleaning rag, rinsed, and then hand dried.  Cleaning was also a breeze.

Bread pudding, lasagna, meatloaf are a snap in this terrific pan. Non-stick, easy to clean, great weight, comfortable handle.  Love it!.

They feel much more sturdy & solid than my last set of pans. This set of cookware is excellent.   No, its not non-stick, and you need to clean it up properly should things get scorched along the edge.  I have had great results with the food I have cooked in them so far.

Good quality pan heat's fast and you do not have to cook on high heat when finished cooking just add hot water to pan for easy clean up I really love not having to deal with non-stick coating anymore I have changed out all my cookware to stainless. Great value for $17.   Buy it for taking to potlucks -- better than foil covered glass, since you can reheat it on a stove or in an oven. I have not had problems with pitting, I had suggest taking acidic things like tomato based dishes out after heating/serving. Cons: It is noticeably thinner than some other pans, but plenty sturdy.   The handles are metal; yeah, they can get hot.

Beautiful and easy to clean stainless steel. This is a real pan!  I love how it is not coated with a non stick surface.   If you cook correctly, with the proper heat, you do not need that at all.   This is no flimsy pan either.

I have used it a few times and it is so much better than my older one.   I love how sleek the pans by cuisinart look  I have several .   I will never go back to non stick! For the price this is a great value.

It is very easily cleaned, and while heavy, will not break your arm every time you pick it up.   Using the helper handle also helps to ensure that you will not accidentally drop the skillet.   I have invested over $100 on other 14  skillets, only to find that they do not heat evenly or have a flimsy, warped bottom.   While I would have preferred a skillet with a straight side and full-size base, but I find this skillet works well for my needs.   Imagine my surprise to learn that it is a very well-crafted skillet with a sound heat distribution base, which ensures even frying and minimizes the  hot zones.   I have been using this almost daily for several months, and it still looks like new. When looking for a reasonably-priced 14  stainless steel skillet for home use, there is not a lot to choose from. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a 14  stainless steel skillet.    I have an electric smooth surface cooktop, so a good heat distribution system is crucial.   I would have paid much more than the $35 pricetag for the skillet had I known how well it would work for me.   When I saw this for $35 and read it is reviews, I decided I had to give it a try.  No scrubbing needed.

I purchased a cover because when I make a sauce my previous pan would splatter and spritz all over the stove.   Because of the even heat distribution the sauce gently bubbles and does not splatter.   The heat distribution is excellent.  It is not hard to clean but sometimes there is a faint residue left in it.   I can get rid of it with vinegar and baking soda, boil it gently on the stove, and then using a washcloth and a wooden spoon i scrub out the pan. I am very happy with this cookware. I love this pan! It is beautiful as well as sturdy and functional!.

After washing I spray 1 spray of olive oil to keep the inside looking good after washing them. I display all my cuisinart cookware hanging in my kitchen.  I could take all day talking about my pans.  I love how they cook.  That makes it easier to get when I need them.  You turn the heat low and it cooks as fast as any other pan on higher temp.  The wok should give off a sheen surface and your ready to go.

The second thing I cooked in it was fried potatoes and onion for 10 people!! Again, it performed admirably and I could not be most satisfied. Okay, this is an AWESOME stainless steel wok! The heat distributes really evenly while the long handle remains relatively cool  not the helper handle, tho - that baby gets HOT! use a potholder to handle it .  . . Anyway, I have cooked in it twice now - Arroz con pollo for 12! Yes, 12 people!! And It all fit in this pan and cooked properly.   Sturdy and heat up fast and evenly..

The lids fit perfectly, and the biggest pot  is great for bulk cooking. I am writing this review because I am extremely amazed that the pot has remained unscathed after being left empty on the electric cooker  accidentally  for more than 15 minutes on high heat.  The steamer pot is a little small, but easy to use as it stacks on top of the medium pot when in use, sparing my hands from the hot steam when picking up or lower my food.  The small pot and pan are just the right size when you are cooking for one.   Wow!They do well in the dishwasher, looking perfectly shiny after wash.   The trivet keeps the pan from tipping over on the stove.

I think this pan is amazing for the price and it has made my life so much easier when making chicken teryaki stir fry. I was hesitant to buy this after all the bad reviews but since I dont really need the lid, I ignored the bad reviews based on the lid breaking. First of all, my lid has not broken.   I do not know if they fixed the lid issue, or if mine will eventually break or it just needs to be handled with kid gloves, but so far so good with the glass lid.    they really should just get rid of the glass lid and make it steel imo As far as the pan itself, its amazing. A very nice looking pan, and can be used for warming, cooking various types of food.   I also had NO issues with food sticking or the pan getting burnt.   The solution is simple, use large amounts of oil.   I always completely coat the pan in canola oil when I use it and keep the food moving  STIR fry  and it works great.   If you want to use this without using a good amount of oil, forget it and get a non stick pan, its just not going to work.   No nasty coating to peel off and get in your food.

With hesitancy I ordered this one. . really not knowing what to expect from a 'mirror' finish pan. Important Usage notes:1  it is NOT non - stick - so do not use it for eggs etc. . . 2  it is medium heat pan  so for browning meats, let it warm up a bit 3  read the directions that come with it  do not use steel wool, do not immerse it in water immediately after using, etc. . .  4  do not put it in the dishwasherSo, if used in the right application this pan is fantastic!  I bought it specifically for browning meats, sautéing veggies, etc. . Our old 'larger' fry pan was shot and needed to be replaced. .   not for cooking eggs . I could not be happier with it. . . . and clean up is a snap.   If there is something stubborn in there. . . let it soak for a little bit.   If you get discoloration on the bottom of the pan  from using too high a heat  I use a little bar keepers friend and it cleans up great. . It is the right size for what I needed.

First, it was a Cyber Monday special for $15. Was my first set of stainless steel pans.  Was expecting some difficultly cleaning compared to non-stick; While a little harder to clean than non-stick, they are very easy to clean with simple soap and water.  Handles get warm, but not too hot to touch when on stove top.

Item arrived quickly as stated and worked really well. Item arrived quickly as stated and worked really well.

They do take some getting used to, in order to learn how to cook with them properly and minimize the chance of anything sticking to the pan. I love this set of pots and pans.  I decided to do away with my coated pans because I do not feel they are good for you.  But even if things do stick to them, they are simple to clean with an SOS pad.  I liken this to the old, let us take the canary in the mine and see if it dies routine.  I liked these so much that I bought two more sets for each of my daughters.  I am hoping to get them away from the Teflon coated pans as well. I waited for the price to come down a little after Thanksgiving to buy it.  My daughters also love the pans.  If they get overheated they can kill any pet birds you might have in the house.  I do not want my grandkids breathing the fumes from those things.

I like the non-stick lightweight dutch over they sell on Hammacher Schlemmer.   This is my first cookware set that was not of the nonstick family so I had to do a little research on the proper cleaning and more importantly proper cooking techniques.   They are a nice, heavy cookware for the money.  We use Bartenders Friend occasionallyto clean the pan if we burn something and they come out like new.  You will need to buy one non-stick skillet to supplement the set  recommend green pan or granitestone  for making certain items like scrambled eggs or grilled cheese; and a dutch oven for stews and roasts. I have purchased three 7-piece Cuisenart pan sets over that past five years or so.

When in use you must watch closely. These pots are outstanding.  They heat quickly and must and you must watch your food closely.   I want a pan that spreads the heat evenly.

I expect this to last a long time.  Big enough to steam two artichokes, small enough to boil a small portion of noodles. I used this product only once so far, but I felt this item deserves a five star.  Quite the space saver! Also easy to clean and feels well-made with quality materials.  Used to use several pots for my steaming and boiling needs, but now I only use this one as it is perfect.

Both lid and pan heavy stainless steel. Really good pot.  Very small but perfect for boiling 7 eggs or making two packs of ramen noodles.  Handle does not get hot.

It is really easy. This is an awesome pot! As I continue to use it, I think back at the negative comments that others have made.  Cleaning this pot after par boiling meats is a breeze, cause the pot is so shinny it cleans up easy on the outside and the inside as well.  I think they had no water in their pot for that to happen. If you are wondering if you should purchase it, just get it.  I have actually put this pot through the test and found it to be a quality piece of equipment! Someone posted a picture of the stainless with blue discoloration, I boiled water till it nearly evaporated and I had no discoloration.  You will be happy you did, I am.  Also, the black stuff on the inside of the strainer is just buffing compound to get the stainless to shine as beautifully as it does.  I hand wash after soaking w/ soap  on-stove low heat.

This pan is great. Pros:Larger than any pan I have seen in stores, and at a great price point!Safety handle and pan handle make it easy to get in and out of oven without burning hands.   It is HUGE  so be prepared for that , fairly heavy, and super well made. Easy to clean, just needs an overnight soak or some vinegar/baking soda magic if you have any tough messes. Cons:This particular brand of stainless steel pans does not do well on gas stovetops and food can easily burn even on low flame.  Get yourself a flame tamer if you have a gas stovetop.   VonShef 9 inch Stainless Steel Induction and Gas Hob Heat Diffuser Ring Plate is what I used. Expensive looking and high quality.

Value for money product exactly what we wanted at a good price and delivery was on point. Great set of pots and pans! Quality is excellent.  I did not even notice that it has liquid volume markers on the inside of some of the pots and pans.  Very convenient.

and yes, it is legal , the zest of one lemon, lime and orange, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, nutmeg and cinnamon.  I decided that I needed to have a saucier pan strictly for this purpose, and it does the job well.  I also added 12 drops of Nature's Answer Guarana Seed Extract and 12 drops of Nature's Answer Kola Nut Extract.  So far, I have came close to the Coca Cola recipe by making a simple syrup of 4 c.  I know that adding Kola goes against the Coca Cola recipe, but I wanted this to be super caffeinated for the treatment of migraines, and I can say that it does the job.  organic cane sugar, throw in 20-30 organic coca leaves  sold as coca tea on .  The only glitch is that it turned out a little too cinnamony.  The spout allows for easy pouring into a jar  of course I use a strainer also .  I used two whole nutmeg pods and two whole cinnamon sticks. I received a Sodastream unit for Christmas and decided that I would take to creating my own syrups.  My fiance thought the cinnamony taste was a welcomed improvement over the traditional Coke, but my next batch will have far less cinnamon.  water to 4 c.  The saute pan is not my cup of tea--too difficult to clean, uses too much oil, and everything seems to stick; the other three pans are pure gold.

I bought these because its safer to cook in stainless steel, even tho theres aluminum inside.  As long as I dont scratch the surface Ill be fine. Very easy to clean.

I would highly recommend this pan.    I like Barkeepers Friend .  I especially like the helper handle.   Holding a pan full of hot food can be tricky, but that extra handle makes a big difference.  Being in college, I am constantly trying to find a way to save money.   It can be used on gas or electric.   Because it is all stainless steel it can go in the oven.

I had highly recommend this pan, in fact we are buying more pieces in this line. It is a great value for the money.

My equally snobby cooking buddy borrows mine constantly and is currently waiting for her own to arrive. I got this pot because I was tired of using 5 different dishes to make stock.   With this pan, it could not be easier. This pan has seriously lowered the barrier for making stock for me.   When finished, you pull the insert out and run the stock through a fine mesh strainer and that is it.   My range has a vent/hood above it that is lower than most of my friends, and this manages ok.   No more "I do not feel like dealing with a million pans, dishes, strainers, etc"  Love, love, love it and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. If I had an extra 400 bucks kicking around I might have gone with All Clad because I am a snob but as it is, this does the job just fine and I would not trade up now that I have it.   It boils in a totally acceptable amount of time for the volume and is a cinch to clean up- I have had no discoloration like one reviewer complained of.  An improvement over my old Farberware pot that wore out recently.   I had rather have the pan be deep than wide, as the depth makes it handy for lobsters as well.   Throw the insert in, put in all your goods and boil.

I bought the middle size pan, and now it is become my "go-to" saucepan especially if I am cooking something that requires a lot of water, like noodles. I had already purchased several of the 1. 5 quart saucepans, and one of the 3 quart.   I love the pans I have because they are curved along the bottom, so you can clean them easily by hand.   But if I needed a larger pan, I found that the 3 quart was just too big.  The tops are also metal, and designed so that particles of food do not get trapped over time like the glass and metal covers.  For most of my cooking, since it is for 1 or 2 people, the smaller saucepans did a fantastic job.  Very happy with the skillet.  I had obviously grown up using a 2 quart pan without ever realizing it.

Wonderful product!!!! Suggest you use BAR KEEPERS FRIEND cleanser on your stainless steel - works wonders! :  . This pan is not as big a regular wok but it is just right for cooking Chinese food or Marsala whatever you need a deep pan for, having a lid is awesome help to cook faster.  I have a Glass top stove and it works perfectly. Best sauce pan I ever bought.  I use this pan all the time - they say you can wash it in the dishwasher, but I wash this pan by hand just to be sure it does not ever rust.

This 14-inch skillet is lighter than that one and the helper handle makes it really easy to hang it up. I just cooked bacon in this pan and I love it!  I was not too sure about it--it is REALLY big and I have an old gas stove so I was worried that the edges of the pan would not get hot.   This is one of the smarter buys I have made lately.   I was skeptical since I have either used non-stick or heavy cast iron skillets for frying before, and I was afraid that this one would stick.   It released the food as soon as it got brown and was a breeze to clean.   I highly recommend it for anyone with arthritis who needs a huge skillet.   I was able to cook eight pieces of bacon at a time  more as it began to shrink  and it browned really well on medium heat.  If you are used to older pans you will have a bit of a learning curve with burner temperatures and cooking times.   Although I love my 10-inch cast iron skillet that my mother left me, my arthritis makes it awkward to clean because it is SO heavy.

It is a beautiful addition to my kitchen.  So I add a little mixture of flour and water that is thin. I love the size and weight of this pot.

When they came I was impressed by the quality! Did not want to write the review until I used them.  They are wonderful! I have had many sets before from Ree Drummond to Paula Dean, none compare to these! Highly reccomend!!!.   I love the glass lid that you can see what you are cooking without having to lift the lid.

He definitely likes quality - and when he himself saw this one and selected it our daughter I knew it was one he liked.   There was only one left that is how popular it was in the store during Christmas time. Hubby loves his  skillet.   He mentioned he would have bought two if they had it cause he like it that much.   SO I then found it online and bought it for him.   He loves it!It does not seem as light as other brands - and cleans well.   in addition so far nothing sticks to it either; the price is awesome and when compared to the quality - I say I got a bargain!I am a terrible cook. .  SHHH and even I do not burn stuff when using it.   . Great pot, can not wait to cook again and again.

There is no such problem with fresh pasta.   My guess is that there is a tradeoff between small holes and boiling-water circulation.  I think this product is terrific and the price is right. I have had this pot since September 2009 and am just getting around to reviewing it.  I got it because I was tired of pouring a pot of boiling water and pasta into a colander - steams up glasses until blind - with the danger of scalding one's self.  With this pot, you just put it in the sink  stainless steal here , remove the lid, and pull the pasta basket straight up.  It feels much safer.  You can also return the pot to the stove with the hot water in it and be ready to cook a second pasta in minutes though the water will be a tad starchy.  This is something you cannot do when a colander is in play. The hot steamer basket can usually be picked up by its handles without a pot holder.  Just take the lid off and wait 10-15 seconds.  I think the materials and finish of the basket contribute to this feature. Finally, this pot functions as a  you guessed it  pot! It is great for making soups and stews.  For these tasks it is medium sized.  Good features: lid fits perfectly and is flat  lay it hot on the counter and a vacuum forms making it hard to lift ; thus pot boils water fast and steamer basket works great even though its high over the water; pasta "cage" fits in such a way that boiling water rushes in and out  to be reheated ; pot comes back to a boil an instant after pasta cage with pasta is inserted.  Depending on what and how many you are cooking for, it may be adequate or you might need something larges.  The size is handy and useful for many dishes. All in all it is a cooking utensil that caries its weight around the kitchen and has many uses.  It also seems simple to clean.  Simple cleaning might just be a result of my never having burned anything in it.  And no burning might  or might not  be a result of good pot design and construction. If you really want to know why this pot works so well, ask an expert.  I am not an expert, just a cook.   My research gave me options, several very HIGH priced sets of cookware,  some low cost,  some stainless steel, some anodized aluminum,  ceramic etc.

All was perfect, wife said she thought the crab tasted better than what I made in the old aluminum stock pot with homemade buildup for steaming. The clean up was simple and quick, cleaned up lile brand new.  Saw other reviews about black stuff so I washed it by hand in hot soapy water and then filled up with water and put it on to boil.  Follow mfg advise by putting not soapy water in and letting it cool, did this while we ate and clean up was a breeze. Made up my mixture for steaming the crab legs and set on stove top.  I am very pleased with this steamer and look forward to many fine meals!.  No black stuff found, all looked fine after initial test boil.  Just remember to use wooden or soft silicone utensils.  The finish is beautiful and the pot is very high quality.

I wish the matching lids came as a set, but they are available to buy separately, and I use them all the time to be sure chicken is cooked all the way through. Great stuff, 5 start, evan as the 3qt died on us this weekThe whole set lasted perfectly 8 years as our everyday cookware. The 3qt saucepan did some snapping and popping where the base connects to the bottom of the pot, ending in a warped bottom, and so we are looking again for the next saucepan. Dishwashing, the normal stress from bad cooks, this stuff is quite resilient.

My only complaint about this set is that it is hard to keep it as perfectly shiny as it was out of the box, but that is true of all stainless steel, and of course it does not affect performance at all.   Keep in mind though that this one is very tall--when I wash it in the sink, I have to swivel the faucet out of the way to stand the stockpot upright. Update  April 2013 : this pot has held up well to regular use.   The price was right too.  I have no complaints.   The steamer that came with it was also a godsend, since I did not have a proper steamer prior to buying this. I am so glad I found this.   Most similar stockpots I looked at from other manufacturers either did not have the steamer/pasta inserts or cost significantly more.

Nice quality so far, would definitely buy again.  Easy peezy lemon squeezy.  I hand wash after soaking w/ soap  on-stove low heat .  Side note - I love that I can use these lids on my Henckels pans.  Hope this helps!.  It is nothing fancy and folks who have dealt with warped pans before know, its usefulness decays with how warped your pans get.

At the bottom where the flat piece meets the curve there is a seal.  After 2 years of use the seal opened a bit and water does get inside during cleaning.  I would had never noticed this except when cooking I heard a noise and saw water boiling out of the hole. . Other than that these are the best pans I have ever owned.  Super easy to clean, nothing sticks, and solid but not too heavy. I do not like to write reviews until I have had the product long enough to know if it is really good or not.  I do wish they came with lids but lucky me I have lids from other sets that fit. .  Well I have had these pans for 2 years and besides one issue, they are pretty much like new!The issue is with the large pan. Function: We love this pan.

After reading all the bad effects that non-stick coding can cause I really wanted to purchase an all stainless-steel cookware set. I use this all the time for practically everything under the sun.  It has not stained, discolored or lost its functionality in over three years worth of usage.  It is the perfect size for the single person.  It is dishwasher proof.  I recommend it to anyone who is reading this review.

Definitely sturdy but when they have their life time warranty. My old rice pot finally bit the dirt so when I saw this on sale, I snapped it up.  I use it specifically for making jasmine rice and it works great.  Cleans easily and the heat distribution is great.  Perfect rice every time!.

Best purchase by far.  Easy to clean, great for sauces, will not scratch.  I like to use this to heat up my milk and froth it for coffee and hot chocolate.  If you order this, you will also want to order the 5" Cast Iron Gas Ring Reducer Trivet.  Trust me.   The trivet keeps the pan from tipping over on the stove.  You will love it. I basically just use this for beans and soups.

Works well on my induction cooking plate. This is a great set for those who are either learning to cook or for those who are more skilled but not professional.  It is one of the best bang for you buck with all you get.  Still do not cook eggs in them, we use our cast iron for that.  I do not think any stainless steal is good for eggs.  Other than that it has worked well and has been a joy to use.

I love the pans I have because they are curved along the bottom, so you can clean them easily by hand. Love this pan! I already had a cuisinart pan like this one but needed something a little bigger.  This is the perfect size for making a large pan of lasagna, casseroles and pretty much anything.  I love that it comes with the roster insert.  It is easy to clean  I only clean it by hand .  Cooks food evenly and my lasagna never burns on the bottom with this pan  for some reason whenever I have made lasagna in a glass pan it would burn really bad on the bottom.

This pan cooks beautifully and is so easy clean. Everything Italian.

Bread pudding, lasagna, meatloaf are a snap in this terrific pan. We had to replace our 2qt pan, but we did not want to spend a fortune to get an all clad since we mostly just cook rice and reheat soup in this size pan.   When I saw this, I thought, why not.  For the price, it is perfect.  Do not expect anything fancy or heavy-duty.  This is for heating up liquid, and it does a great job.  Sure the inside gets discolored, sure it is thin as heck.  Do not expect it to be anything more than that and you will also be happy with it.

This is the second one I have gotten, and have used both of them very often. I needed a new 1 1/2 quart pot because the handle broke off my 40+ year old pot. This one  has performed wonderfully.   We have cooked oatmeal in this pot every Sunday morning.

The frying pans distribute the heat wonderfully for even cooking.  The measurements markings on the side of the pots is a nice touch. Love these pots and pans it is really nice to cook on quality cookware. After having used a cuisinart stainless stockpot for years, I had high expectations for this roaster.

They are made of amazing quality.  I recommend these to anyone who is looking for a great stainless steel pots and pans set. Ok, when I ordered this set I never thought that when I saw these that these would be so nice and heavy.  I just with I had the flat griddle pan which I will look for to complete my set.  Again the price and quality are amazing. Love this pan,cooks as described,easy to clean.

It is made very well, sturdy and pretty. This is one of the nicest roasting pans I have ever had.  The Rack that comes with it for turkeys etc is very nice. I waited for the price to come down a little after Thanksgiving to buy it.  It will be something to pass down to my daughter one day I am sure.  I am hoping to get them away from the Teflon coated pans as well.

Love the product-makes life in the kitchen easier.  I figured if I spent more than I expected I would get what I wanted and I hit the nail right on the head.

This works perfect!. Needed a pot big enough to cook a double batch of red beans  4 cups dried beans & 2 packs of sausage .  It arrived on time and the package was great and there was no damage.

Steaming veggies and heating sauces or oatmeal.  Never burns when watched  and fast cleanup.   Love it.   If have some black dot just use soda.

This pan is so easy to clean! I love the size and the helper handle.  If your looking for a sturdy sauté pan, this is a great one!.  It is big enough to cook a whole pack of chicken breasts so they are not crowded.  I watched some videos on you tube about cooking with stainless steel, that helped a lot.   And of course it can handle going in the oven. I was scared to switch from Teflon to stainless steel, but I made the switch and I am so glad I did! I love this pan.

I wish they made a 14inch with a glass lid.   I bought Bon Ami just in case, but I have had no issue. Great pan but I can not find a lid for it.

Shipped promptly and as description. Just what I wanted, works great.

I hate that because if you forget you will have a very bad burn or drop it on your feet.  It is shallow, though - make sure you check the dimensions before ordering. These pots are nice easy to clean up but the pot cover and handle gets very hot.

I have needed a good roasting pan for years and I was tired of "cheaper" roasting pans  very hard to clean  or those aluminum disposable ones so I looked on the internet for a stainless steel one with a good brand name.  so far I have used it three times, once for turkey and twice for chickens.   The curved rack supports and seems to "hold" the birds together and the cleanup is just a cinch.   I am so happy with this roasting pan .   I have put this pan in the dishwasher and once I even washed it by hand and each time the pan cleans up so easily and looks brand new afterwards.   The one and only thing that would make this pan a better product would be if the handles came straight up rather than out from the sides of the pan.  .   I do not understand why the handles add unnecessary length to this pan in the oven, the dishwasher or the sink. All in all it is a great set, and I would have loved to have the larger set but the shipping and taxes to/in Israel are just way too expensive.

The handles stay cool and the sides are relatively spill proof. Look beautiful, easy to use and clean.

This came as an additional bonus with my . there is only one word, small, small, really small.

My only complaint is that I had not realized how small a 1 1/2 quart pot is. Just the right size for making omelets.

Quality construction that is lasted years. Love these pans! I highly recommend!.

This cookware is well made with rivited handles like what is used in professional kitchens.  you will have to clean it before residual food drys onto it or you will be using some elbow grease to get it clean.  My order arrived in well packed boxes with no damage. 2: The disk on the bottom is attached with epoxy and will seperate if you boil it dry and let it sit on a hot burner so do not let that happen.  For the stovetop, the long handles stay cool but you may want to use protection on the small handles. 3: Do not use high heat settings especally with gas cooking the flame will discolor the pan.  This set should last for years of trouble free service.  Medium heat is just right. 4: It is cookware you will use it, and it will scratch.   I also recomend adding the 2 quart sause pan  or 2 for larger families  to round out the set.  It is not for decroation if you want pretty pans, get 2 sets the price is right. Things you have to remember:1: This is not a nonstick set of cookware. 's price with the additon of the 4 pc kitchen tool set  free  the super saver shiping, and the $25. This cookware heats eavenly and is easy to clean as long as you clean as you go. 00 may discount  I noticed there is a june discount now as well  made this set much less than was available at the mall and worth the wait for shipping.  I highly recomend it as a starter set for those that are newly maried, or new to the kitchen. Added 12/11/2005After 6 months of everyday use, the finish on this cookware is still very nice even with a few scratches.  I have noticed that I use lower heat on the stove  gas  meaning a lower monthly bill.  I recieved my order in less time than was estimated.  I have noticed that when using the dishwasher there is some minor discoloration but that is easily removed with barkeepers friend.  I would recomend a second 1.  I am still verry happy with this cookware, and have added other itmes this line.  This cookware is also oven safe to 500 degrees. .  For those that make scrambled eggs frequently you may want to look at the chef's classic nonstick skillets as well. I always add the oil when the pan is evenly hot, then the food will not stick at the bottom and easy to be turned   see attached photo The skillet is still cooking for a while when the stove is turned off, so make sure well control the time to avoid overcooking.

So far we are impressed!! Used it 3 or 4 times already. We have gone thru about 3 different 12 inch non-stick pans since moving into our house with a glass top stove almost 3 years ago.  Make sure you follow directions and do not overheat the pan or cool it too quickly after using.  We have not tested it out in the oven yet, but that is a very nice feature we have never had before with a non-stick pan.  ALL of those pans warp almost immediately, and some were very expensive brands.  It is amazing how a pan that can sit flat on a stove can decrease your frustration while cooking.  We just kept one from another pan that fits well enough.  Decided to try an "encapsulated bottom" pan.  I am still able to pick up while cooking.

It also heats up very quickly, which makes this a great pan for making steak/porkchop, as long as you put enough oil on it, and I can cooking 2 full size pork tenderloin at once, it is pretty great.  Just purchased another one because the price went down. I probably should have bought a smaller pan, but this pan allows me to cook at least 4 meals at once, which is pretty great for college student if you ask me.

accidently burned up my first pot so had to replace my set. I really like the handles of the pans.  The lids are well made and nice too.

That is it for a family of 5.   It took some getting used to, but with a bit of practice, you can learn to cook without non-stick!  The difference between the skillet included in this set and the one we purchased separately is the size as well as the weight.   This one works well for eggs, fish, etc.   After purchasing this set, I got rid of everything else.   I found the heavier bottomed Kitchenaid worked better for meat sauces and curries. This is the perfect set for a small, minimalist kitchen.   You have to experiment a bit and see what works for you.   Now I just have this set, one large SS Kitchenaid skillet, and a double dutch cast iron oven/skillet set.   But for a quick and easy fix or starter kitchen, I would definetely recommend this set.   I purchased this set as I intended to slowly rid my kitchen of non-stick cookware.  We have worn out a highly touted nonstick set from from QVC, and so are going back to plain stainless steel.

Just what I wanted, works great. Just what I wanted, works great.

Very durable.   Used it for everything from cooking beef, pasta sauce, etc. The stainless steel is easy to clean and dries fast. The heat distribution is amazing… I love how versatile it is… Is more than just a wok!.

Works great, needed a smaller pot.  This one fit the bill, price great too.  Recommend.  I also requested the 10 & 12 inch pans for my birthday next month so fingers crossed I will be upgrading my cookware.

I absolutely love them.  Perfect for soups, mashed potatoes and I find when I use it for hard boiled eggs they come out perfect! I love to cook and I this pan is always the first I reach for!. I have 3, yes 3, of these pans. My wife likes so I love Thanks!!.

This saucepan is the perfect complement to my .  My household has gotten smaller, with my kids grown.

I still love this pot but this morning I took it off the shelf to make a batch of chicken and dumplings, and noticed it has a crack by the riveted handle. Update.  I filled it with water and it is not leaking quite yet, but I think maybe it will when heated.  I can not even think what kind of tool or pressure could do this to this pot.  I have never deep fried in it because,well, I do not deep fry.  I use this as a soup pot and for blanching vegetables for freezing.  I have contacted cuisinart support and hope their lifetime guarantee is what it says it is.  It is the reason I buy this brand. I like having a more squat stock pot.  I am using this a lot! I have 8 to 12 quart stock pots, but I find I use this all the time.  It is not large enough for canning season, and it does have the disk on the bottom so I probably will not drop fry in it, and it is not the heaviest stock pot, but I am happy with what it is. Love the product-makes life in the kitchen easier.

It is very easy to clean too. This stockpot is the perfect size for cooking stew, soup and chili in a large quantity with plenty of room for stirring.  My precious 5 quart was too small for the recipe I use for chili and stew  The 6 quart size fits our recipes just right. .   Heat distribution is ideal and the sturdiness is great.  We have used it for Brunswick stew and Chili and it performed perfectly.

Works very well on induction cooktop. I have never been keen on aluminum pans because they have always been hard to keep clean.

Seems like everyone was having the same problem then there was an epiphany vinegar if you boil vinegar in your pot covered. Heavy and durable.  Have made some great meals with this set.  Do not regret my purchase at all, would definitely buy again.

We find that ZEP is a good fit. I love this whole set! I was not sure at first as to what was the best way to clean them.  On a gas stove, each pan heats evenly! We cannot say enough good things about this whole set!.  There are a lot of products in the stores now because of the popularity of stainless steel.  Was too cheap to buy one full price!! Well worth the original price after using.

Anything stuck on, just put in some water to cover about half way, put in some baking soda, cover, simmer and the stuck on food will lift off.  I wanted a stainless steel pan for making sauces, because the fond that sticks to the bottom makes the best sauces.  The size is perfect to make a big batch of spaghetti sauce and have enough for leftovers for a few days! The handle, construction, lid, and contruction of the base of the pan are all about as good as it gets.  I can not see a more expensive pan doing any better of a job, because I have nothing to mention about how this pan could be better.  I got it for $60, but it feels like the quality of a $100 pan.

A little heat goes a long way with this pan, never use high, too hot and you will scorch your food. this is a great pan but definitely needs a large learning curve. Also use plenty of grease or oil.  I cooked mostly on cast iron and thought this would be similar, boy was I wrong.  I now use it as my go to pan.  The only way to season this pan is to use it a lot and do not use soap to clean.  A soft scrub with warm water only. I will never go back to a  poisonous plastic coated Teflon pan.  We almost threw it out.  Tried to season like a cast-iron pan and almost ruined it.  If I have stuck on food, like hamburger crunchies, I heat the soapy water on the stove, just for a minute or so and it all releases. If you scorch something, same as cast iron, boil some water in it as you scrape with a metal spatula, it comes right off.

Obviously how good a skillet is for you depends a fair amount on your personal preferences and cooking skill.   In my case, I am a fairly novice cook, with most of my experience being in baking.   Without getting too much into it, I have to mention I dislike nonstick coatings for their associated health concerns.   I also hate having to be gentle with my cookware  not being able to use metal utensils on nonstick pans . So for me, this pan is perfect.   It is wonderfully sturdy, with quality construction.   I expect it will outlast me.   I also really like how it is not too heavy, how it seems to heat fast and evenly, and how it so far has been easy to clean. I can not claim this is the perfect pan for everybody, but it certainly works wonders for me!.   I typically heat milk and water in it.

Heavy, but not too heavy.   Cooks evenly, easy clean. Solid and beautiful.  Buy this well-made pan and bake some ketchup, I will bet you have lasagna just as good.

Fills the hole I had for small pot jobs. Mirror finish stainless steel sauce pot with steel lid.   Stay cool handle.   One quart pot is small and well made.

If you wanted one general purpose saucepan, you should go with something bigger. I love this wok it is a great size 14" . It is sturdy with no rocking. The lid comes in handy for steaming vegetables. Finally it works wonderfully well on our glass top stove.

I have the larger version of it as well and it is perfect size. Overall, it does the job well, is built tough, and makes me look like I know what I am doing. I love this pan.

Already cooked with it & it was great - so much space to cook different parts of the meal in. Its also a heavy weight which is really useful - & I used olive oil in my recipe so when it was time to clean the pan was easily cleaned. Frankly I did not realize how large it was going to be- so it was a surprise when the box was delivered.  Cleaned up quickly.  Very happy with the skillet.  They last forever and clean up so nice! My only wish would be that the lid were glass to see through without having to lift the lid.

lid is worth 30 dolars alone. AFTER GOING THROUGH SEVERAL WOKS to use on my glass stovetop and my induction burner.   This wok is now my favorite. 4.   large WIDE flat bottom surface area to stir fry my meat so that it actually sizzles instead of braise.   pan is light but that makes it perfect for shaking around5.  sides are low so food can be slid on top and stay away from the cooking surface below.   i just place my hand over the flat bottom to feel for the heat.  love the lid  .  BEAR IN MIND I COOK LARGE PORTIONS IN THIS WOK AND IT SIZZLES PERFECTLY.   i use it as a splater shield as i am sliding food into the pan. 1.   SMALLER PORTIONS  ---  I DONT KNOW AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER KNOW how effective this is for smaller portions. 3. . 2.   But now, after a few weeks of trial and error, I can make omelettes and scrambled eggs with no real trouble..

Exactly what i wanted.  Im so over non-stick pans.  Non stick is great for beginners or once in a while cooking, but once your culinary skills improve you will want stainless steel too.  I cooked pancakes on it this morning and they came out amazing.  It didnt stick, but i think you have to know what your doing in order to use stainless steel.  I would like a bigger fry pan but it does not seem to be available as a single purchase.

It is big enough to make a one pan meal that easily feeds us all.  It is non stick when used correctly, and cleans up easily. I have used this pan almost daily for the last 6 years to feed my family, 2 adults and 4 kids.  Has held up beautifully to heavy use and constant cleaning, both hand scrubbing and getting ran through the dishwasher.  Absolutely my most used kitchen tool, besides maybe my Henkel chef knife.  If you are on a budget, get this.

However, acidic foods such as tomatoes and wine give food a metallic taste when cooked in iron.   Since cast iron is non-stick I was looking for another set of cookware to use when iron would not. per the manufacturer.   I have had the set for a few months, they are easy to clean if you follow the manufacturers instructions.   Even if something sticks it does not remind me of painfully scrubbing my mothers less expensive stainless set. .   I have also used a scrub sponge  green on one side  occasionally, but they have never left any scratches behind.   Double bonus in my book is that it is dishwasher safe as well.   Just do not use any citrus detergents.   That means you can cook at high heat and stick them in the oven.   Soak the pan while you eat and it will clean up very easily afterward.   This set is not non stick, but if you enjoy making sauces and gravies from the "yum-yum's" left in the pan then you will love it.

This cookware is amazing and very reasonably priced. This wok has been perfect for my stir fry.  I have a big family and it is the perfect size to cook my meals to feed my whole family.  I love that it distributes the heat evenly.  I have had woks that the food would stick to but I have not had this problem with this wok.  I love the lid that came with it, although I do not use the lid when I am stir frying.  The lid did come in handy when I was steaming my food. I was worried that the cleanup was going to be hard on this pan but I was quite surprised how easy it cleaned up.  I did get a little bit of stains on it but I used the bar keeper friend on it and the stains went away with a little bit of scrubbing.  When making stir fry I always found it that pans that distributed the heat evenly is what make my dish come out good and the heat distribution is perfect in this pan.  I think the price is perfect for those not wanting to spend too much on a wok.  One thing I do recommend is using wooden utensils so you do not scratch your pan.

This is a very large pan. I tend to make 4-6 meals at a time but was getting tired of cleaning two sets of pans, so I decided to try this.  I can throw in onions and veggies and 5lb of ground beef with no problem.  Pan bottom is reasonably flat, and I find that everything gets cooked evenly.  The only drawback is that it is unwieldy and heavy, but that comes with the territory.  It is certainly made my life easier!. Really enjoy cooking at lower heat and the nonstick inside and stainless outside clean right up.

I will probably buy several more pieces, starting with the 3 quart. Very high quality stainless excellent product we also have the huge frying pan with deep tall sides love them.

We will see. Handles are well placed, easy to grasp, and pour contents  like straining unwanted vegetables .  stainless steel stockpots.   Everything from Cuisnart to All Clad which can run up to $400 for the same dimensions.   Use potholders when it holds hot contents. I have large  tall  crockpots for soups, stews, or spaghetti sauce including an All Clad but I wanted something smaller and definitely wider to allow for easier degreasing as it is a bit difficult with the tall ones because they are narrower not allowing an easy degrease. Easy to clean but do not use abrasives.   6, 8, 10, or larger.   Hot, soapy water and one of those scraping pads safe for teflon to maintain shine without "scars".   So I checked around price-wise and found  to be the cheapest for the same, new, stockpot and purchased it. So far, I have not been disappointed.   IF anything sticks to the bottom, empty, add a bunch of water, and heat on low for 8 hours or so.   It also fits in my kitchen cupboards.   If the problem persists, continue to heat in hot water but so far, everything's cool with this one.   Big test will be meat marinara. I did quite a bit of research on 12 Qt.   Just remember to turn the cooking heat down as compared to what you might have. Also, not everybody has 12 quart pots.   After that, adjust to your preferences.   Made some chicken/noodle soup and there was absolutely no burning or noodles sticking to the bottom.   So far, so good. For the price and what I was looking for, this one's good.   But 12 was a bit difficult to find.   There was only one left that is how popular it was in the store during Christmas time.   I also had information from Cook's Illustrated recommending the Cuisnart in quality and price.

But the cleaning process was so easy.  After soaking the pot for a couple of hours, most of the burnt surface came out when I pulled it out with my hand.  I had a cooking disaster and the entire bottom burnt with a thick layer and I was prepared for hours of scratching and a damaged surface.  This is not something to expect from a stainless steel pot.  So happy about the purchase and highly recommend. I used this product only once so far, but I felt this item deserves a five star.  This is a good size pot by the way. A good overall reduction or " Chef's Pan " !  I have made several meals with it and am impressed at it is versitility !  As you can see in the pic , after several " sautes " and deglasings , it is still beautiful !  A little bit of boiling water and baking soda brings it back to it is original luster !.

I really like this pan. I love this pan! It is beautiful as well as sturdy and functional!.

Love the capacity and how it cooks roasts and chicken. I wish I bought this set so much sooner, it is such a wonderful set! They are super easy to clean and even if something gets burnt onto it- just a little bit of Barkeeper's friend is quick and easy to get anything off and keep them looking brand new! The price point for the value is incredible!.

The rack it came with is great! Overall a quality pan for the money. This is the exact size I wanted and I love it!.

End of Review. Perfect size for the items I cook. 5 stars. After a week, I bought an additional one.

Perfect size to boil pasta or make a batch of soup or chili.  Cleans up easily.   I have had one for tears and bought several as gifts.  I have some that are nearly 10 years old and I can not even count how many 8 inch Teflon pans I have replaced in that time.

5. Lightweight - The glass top is heavier than the pot itself. Pretty - I love the shape.   Who says that about a pot?As someone who does not typically enjoy cooking, has a small kitchen with limited space, and a kid who eats entirely too much pasta:  this is the perfect pot. ** Update  March 2017 : Had the pot for nearly three years now. Easy to clean - A lack of stirring and too-high heat caused a thick layer of burnt greens on the bottom, but it scraped right off.  Continues to be the best thing in my I-hate-to-cook kitchen! Perfect for boiling up to two pounds of pasta, or making five quarts of chili at a time.  The bottom is now showing heat-indications of the stove element but it is just a cosmetic thing from near-daily use - still works perfectly fine. I love this pot so small and simple to use.

Sometimes it needs to soak, but not long and it wipes right off. Great pan.  Works well for Turkey, ham, chicken, or without the rack.  2qt is too small for Kraft Mac & Cheese, and 4qt is too big/heavy.  Easy to clean.  Ve sure you use the soft side of the sponge, do not scrape the pan.  Hot water and soap will get even the toughest drippings off.  Cooked a couple of turkeys over the holidays with great results.

and being a grad student living off of student loans, these were a great bargain.   as long as you cook on a lower heat than you would expect you would have to, and as long as you use a little extra virgin olive oil when you saute veggies and meat.   the cuisinart set arrived packaged nicely and are absolutely beautiful. . . . . you are good to go!  i have not scorched any food, i find the cooking to be even, and the cookware comes out looking shiny and new from the dishwasher. .   they are definitely lighter than i am used to, but i personally think that is an added bonus.   i hated how heavy my club set was and how much space it took up, but i realize i will have to baby these pots and pans a little more than the old thicker set that i literally tossed back in the cabinet after cooking on a daily basis. maybe i just have not been spoiled by high-end cookware, but i think these are really great!  i replaced a nasty old set of club aluminum cookware after the pots and pans seemed to start to deteriorate and soak up food stains and smells  i was naughty.   and no more shoving the cabinet door into the pots and pans to get it to shut!  :  bottom line: a great deal for a great stainless set!.                 !         ,.

Btw, to avoid always burning food, be sure to use an oil with a high smoke point, grape seed oil or peanut oil, for instance. I almost passes on this wok after reading some of the lower reviews on this Wok.  I had a feeling that most, if not all, of the complaints sounded like user error so I took a chance and bought it anyway.  Then after I read about the lid, I almost was not going to use it.  Happy cooking, all.  Today was the first time I used it and it performed wonderfully.  Simply followed the instructions on the Manufacturers Care Guide and it could not have performed better.  The meal came out great and cleanup was as easy as described by the guide.  She suggested that we get some nonstick pots.  I did anyways and here is my review.  The lid was utilized and did not shatter because I did not let a vacuum seal form from temp fluctuations.

As someone who has worked in pro kitchens for  longer than I like to admit  I readily admit there are higher quality saucier-type pans out there, but I bought this for $20-$25 bucks and it is one of the best values/excellent return on investment pieces in my home kitchen.   While I do not use the lid very often, but it is well fitting and of a much better quality than I expected for cookware in this price range.   Overall, it is a great piece for cooks do not want to spend $80 on a  fancy brand  saucier but want to try cookware of this type, highly recommended.   This pan is amazing for my fav foods- the wide gentle slope fits my favorite whisks well so I can avoid the dreaded crusty burnt corners that often formed when making a half gallon of cheese sauce in a straight sided sauce pan.   I can not address the issues with dishwashers other reviewers have brought up as I NEVER put any of my pots/pans through the dishwasher because I was taught that is bad for them- so skip the dishwasher and you will likely be fine.   It is also fantastic for reducing stocks- I use it to cook down chicken, ham, and other meat stock before freezing  saves freeze space, and can I can easily reconstitute it later . If you cook then this pan is a must-have.
