Stainless Steel 8-piece Square Cookware Set

Rating

Purchased this set as replacement of scratched non stick TFAL set. Have been cooking with these for the past 2 weeks and love them. Used less than 1 tablespoon warmed olive oil with fish, chicken and pork and no sticking. The rims don’t drip and the square shape corners make good pouring spouts. The sizing is excellent! Nothing under 2 quarts-other sets always seem to include smaller pans that I never use. Priced purchasing only the 3 sized pans I normally used and came up with $120-$160 depending on brand so this was much more cost efficient. Love the short handles and that the set nests to save space in my small kitchen! They have a mirror finish both inside and out, though I don’t know how long that will last. I bought them to cook with, not look at, so not an issue for me. The pans, not lids, are oven safe to 400 degrees-haven’t tried that yet. The set is about 20lbs with probably close to 1/3 of the weight being the glass lids. The lids are vented, but still need to lift the lid to check on food for the most part. The metal seam around the outside of the lid is more noticeable than on some other brands and has snagged on a couple of dish towels. The short handles can get hot-use potholders. Will probably last 5-10 years with everyday use barring breaking a lid, which will probably be impossible to replace.

Love these pots! They are different and very well made. I have used all of them and have no complaints. I need to add some bigger pots to what I already have. They blend in nicely. I have round ones with clear tops, however, these are pretty much the same, but different shapes. I highly recommended.

I was happy with the product purchased. It looks nice and I like the square shapes with the short handles. It makes it much easier to store and takes up less space on the stove.Cleans nicely and cooks evenly.

Bought these as a gift for my daughter and she loves them. Likes the shape and the quality. She is not comfortable with their definition of the frying pan though. She would like another piece that was a larger pan as this one is small and deep which makes it harder work with.

I've used each piece several times and have no complaints. There is some discoloration occasionally but it's easily removed with Bar Keepers Friend, which is safe for stainless steel. Cleaning is a breeze. Hard to remove residue comes off easily after soaking for a few minutes. As other posters have stated, I have also found that I'm able to cook at lower temperatures. Heats very evenly. As far as performance and durability, this is a great set and very reasonably priced.
