Question: Can I use stainless steal spatulas and turners on this cookware without it scratching the pans?
Document: I use nylon type spatulas when I'm not testing the product. For all other needs, I use the stainless steel utensils without a problem. I am careful, but not excessively so.I don't like that the set is made in China, but the quality is there. This is the top of the line Emeril cookware products. My All Clad is 5d and these are tri-ply.
I love the feel of the stainless steel and the handles feel good in your hands; very comfortable. I also like the set having glass lids, as I like viewing my food without having to remove the lids, therefore, losing valuable heat in the cooking process. The cookware set has a nice variety of skillets, pots, pans, etc. and it's all I'll ever need for life in my cooking.
I just got this set a couple weeks  ago and have used most of the pieces numerous times already. This cookware is beautiful. I could not be happier with this purchase. The pots and pans are no too heavy but very substantial and the handles are awesome and very comfortable. As you read reviews about stainless cookware, it is true that you have to make sure you use the right heat settings. These conduct heat extremely well but any serious cook who knows what they are doing will naturally know what to do.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these pots and pans. They are incredibly well built without being overly heavy, so I can easily lift which is a huge plus where working with Stainless Steel equipment. I would recommend purchasing barkeep to help keep them clean, but that is by far the only complaint. They cook evenly on both a regular stove top and induction heating stove tops which is a plus.
:)As for the pans themselves... This are stainless steel tri-ply pans. All-Clad makes them for emeril, and they bear the quality of all-clad pans. Its a terrific value, even without the freebies above. You're not going to find any major differences when it comes to the shortcomings of stainless steel when comparing to other brands, more expensive or not.
It makes the yummiest (and easy) meals! I am so glad that I switched from non-stick. These pans, in particular, are well made and sturdy. They don't feel cheap or tinny at all and I expect these will last for many, many years. You don't need to spend tons of money on the super fancy stainless steal sets that are out there. This set is fantastic and the price is definitely right!
We have a lot of quality cookware acquired over the years, and wanted to switch over to stainless as some of our non-stick pieces wore out. I had purchased the 3-qt. saucepan (open stock) a year or so ago, and loved it so much that I wanted a 1.5-qt. as well -- we use these sizes a lot. You can't get the 1.5-qt.
This is a great set for anyone that cooks a lot but doesn't need the expensive cookware. It is heavy duty and easy to clean. I waited to use is\t several times before leaving this review and so far I'm very happy and impressed with the quality. I'[ve used it to boil, fry and cook, all of which turned out great. Definitely read the paper that comes with it, which explains the best method to use stainless steel.
It was expertly packaged. The cookware is solid & heavy, it's polished and finished to perfection. It's sets flat & level on the cooktop. It heats evenly which is also due in part to the induction heating. It does not buzz like some of the lower cost induction ready cookware that's available.I see reviews complaining about cleaning. Lets address this, the#1 rule of cooking in stainless steel: NEVER use more than medium heat.
Otherwise it takes ages to cook anything.Anytime I cook something new in these, I do a google search on how to cook X in stainless steel. It has really helped. There are no stains or discolorations on my cookware. I have the barkeepers best friend and use it after I wash anything. I wipe down the outside with a microfiber cloth. They look new everytime. There have been a couple of times where something stuck or discoloration occured and I freaked out.
Answer: @TJL Bates: I bought this set when I was forced to change my cookware because we transitioned to an induction cooktop. I have been nothing but thrilled (and I'm an avid home chef)! I use metal utensils all the time with this cookware! Admittedly, I avoided doing so at first, but eventually habit and mindlessness took over. I've seen some superficial marks on the cookware immediately after cooking, but nothing significant that didn't also come off after cleaning. If you like your cookware to look brand new after lots of use, then maybe avoid metal utensils, but if you're just asking for durability of everyday use I think you'll be very happy with this cookware set, however you may use it! BTW- make the very small investment in a bottle of Bartender's Friend (an excellent Stainless Steel cleaner if you're not familiar) and practically anything you do to this or any other cookware will virtually disappear.
