Customer Review: poor product design
Not worth the money! The handles get too hot to touch. The pans are really thin and do not heat well.
Customer Review: If you can’t take the heat…get out of the kitchen
This is not quite 3 stars in my opinion, but alas, no fractions… I am an avid cook with pro style appliances and this cookware just does not cut it for me. In fact, after only a year of owning this cookware, I set out to replace it with better quality cookware. My problems with it are the following: 1)Contrary to what it says, the flimsy, hollow handles are in no way “stay cool”. These suckers get flaming hot if used on a gas stove and require the use of oven mitts. This is a huge drawback when sauteing vegetables or something of that nature. Big bulky mitts make it difficult to handle the pan properly. Plus, it’s no laughing matter when you or a kitchen buddy forgets to grab a mitt before touching the handles. YEEEOOOWW! 2)The colander lids seemed a great idea at first, and they are handy when straining things, but this makes for a very loose fitting lid. Just try to make rice in these saucepans and you will quickly learn that it cannot be done. Too much steam escapes from the lids and the rice does not cook properly. So you will need a separate saucepan for tasks that require a tight fitting lid. 3)The frypans are horrible to clean. They quickly acquired a brown film on them that is very difficult to remove, and I am always careful to heat my pans properly before putting food in them. It doesn’t matter what I do, they are always stained and it seems to affect their performance. Although I will admit the saute pan has proven very useful (except for the hot handles of course). It is very roomy and the tri ply aluminum core on the bottom does provide relatively good heat retention and distribution. I also have no problem with the 8 quart sauce pot. And the utensils are of good quality as well. In a nutshell, I would say this is “decent” cookware for the price, but for my needs, it just doesn’t cut it. If you have a powerful gas stove then I highly recommend you look into better quality cookware (All Clad, Calphalon Tri Ply or Contemporary, etc). These pans just can’t take the power of pro appliances, unfortunately.
