Question: Does the black non stick band around the cookware discolor or fade when washed in dishwasher or washed by hand?
Document: Would have loved to buy these in a store where I could inspect them.The black band around the outside is painted on and the quality was poor.
The handles are very sturdy and i can see these lasting a very long time under standard use. The handles are coated in s silicon rubber that stays cool/warm to the touch. They should be somewhat safer to use with utensils than their non-stick counterparts, but I've already put scratches in one of the sauce pans. On top of it all they are oven safe up to 400F in the oven and dishwasher safe as well.
Washes beautify by hand and  dishwasher. It's a beautiful set. It's a little heavy but I feel it's very durable.
Not good for frying eggs or anything that would normally stick. Great cookware but we bought additional non stick skillets for frying bacon, eggs, etc
I ordered this set using my frequent flyer miles. It is the nicest cookware set I've ever owned! My previous sets were non-stick, so it did take a little getting used to cooking with stainless steel (hot pan, cold oil; food won't stick). I've only been using it for about a month - but they seem very durable. They are also very stylish! I'm very satisfied with the purchase.
Admittedly, this is my first set of stainless cookware and I think my first set that was NOT non-stick! So far, after three weeks I'm very much enjoying using the set. I've had no problems with burning or sticking and my food has turned out DELICIOUS! And I feel better knowing  not putting the chemicals from non-stick cookware into my food. I researched what to looks for and found this set was tri-ply throughout, well made and had comfortable handles.
Great and unique product!!! High quality, light and certainly the best non-stick pans I've ever owned. Definitely worth the price
Great design:  lighter weight but still a solid, strong feel. Love the handles as they never get hot and they are comfortable to hold. Edges are all very nicely rounded so there are no sharp edges. And they are fabulous to cook in! Yes, cleaning is a bit more work than non-stick treated, but not much, and I do not want non-stick materials in my food! GREAT COOKWARE.
Love this set. Beautiful and classy. Hated to use them and get them dirty. They clean up well. Also bought a set of Anolon non stick for my daughter for Christmas. She loves her set. She loves the champagne bronze color. I then bought a set of Anolon non stick fry pans and love those also. They clean up really good and easy. Plan on buying more of the non stick pans. I would recommend to any one looking for new pots and pans. Enjoy!
This is a very elegant set of cookwares; however, they are high maintenance. Food sticks on them very easily, even in low range. I bought this set with a tabletop Induction Cooker, hoping that the wares are nonstick cookware. I am highly disappointed that each time I fry eggs , even with Olive Oil; half of the eggs stick to the bottom of the pot. I spend extra time washing the pots and pans after each use.
Answer: We wash them by hand and have had no problem with fading or discoloring. Hope this helps you. We love them.
