Question: Is this non stick cookware
Document: Purchased these to replace my non stick cookware...love them. Great cooking surface, cleans easily, handles stay cool. I love that the steamer basket fits on both small and large saucepans.Great!
We've had this set for about a month now, and I could not be happier. For a long time we had a set of non-stick cookware - based on the health risks associated with non-stick coatings, I decided that it was time for a change. Ideally, I believe that the best cookware for your health is cast iron, however, I find those to be a little too cumbersome for everyday usage. The next best thing is stainless steel.I decided on this set based on the reasonable price and all of the positive reviews.
After comparing what seemed like countless different cookware sets and reading a million reviews, I decided to buy this set, and I couldn't be happier! I own an All Clad pot and a couple different Calphalon non-stick pans, and these are just as good if not better than those. First off, each piece is beautiful. I just had to sit and stare at them for a while when I got them out of the box. They are heavy without being burdensome, and they feel very sturdy. I love the sizes of the sauce pans, and the steamer can fit both the smaller pans, which is a nice plus.
I'm not sure why that's such a big deal to people, but the box is just a plain cardboard box, so don't expect a retail type, showy package. But seriously, who cares what's on the box when the product is so great? !My only complaint: these pans are made in China which is unfortunate. I really wanted to buy an American made set, but it's so hard to argue with the quality and price of these versus its American counterparts.I would recommend this set without hesitation to anyone who needs an upgrade from their crappy, flaking non-stick cookware.
I own 10&#34; and 12&#34; All Clad skillets and love their beauty and functionality. I was looking to retire pathetic old deteriorated non stick cookware and fill out my cookware with more All Clad but was loath to pay the price. Looking at lower cost alternatives led me to Cuisinart Multiclad and Emirel Pro Clad as well as the lesser known Cook's Standard. Of the three the closest to my All Clad appeared to be the Cooks Standard, the only one I could verify to be of similar weight materials and using 18/10 stainless for the interior steel cladding.I was not disappointed by the purchase.
I have used this set for nearly nine months. As soon as I learned to tell when the pan is hot enough (a bead of water rolls around freely like a roulette ball) I really fell in love with this set. The handles have a comfortable shape and never get hot. They heat evenly and have no hot spots. The lids fit well and are easily interchangeable. The availability of extra matching pieces to expand the set is a plus; I bought the 12 inch fry pan within a week. I expect this set will last many times longer than my decent non-stick cookware.
It is a little of a learning curve if you have always used non-stick, but I have had no problems other than eggs. Bar Keepers Friend is a must. I love my set! !
I absolutely LOVE this set of pans. It has a gorgeous and easy to clean finish. It took a while getting used to not using a non-stick surface, but once I did it was well worth it. The pans heat evenly and quite quickly. My only complaint is that the lids are not see-through, but that isn't near enough to downgrade this product from 5 stars!! !
I would have preferred glass lids instead of stainless but this hasn't really been a problem. On the upside it takes much less heat to cook with so my kitchen doesn't heat up as much as it use to. I have yet to master frying an egg but have come really close and will continue to try, meanwhile I still have my non stick frying pan for that.
Even though we do occasionally put it in our dishwasher, it's so easy to clean up with sudsy water, that's usually what we do.The only thing that you cannot do easily, even though I have been successful once, is make an omelet without it sticking. But the solution (if you're an omelet lover/maker like we are) is simply to purchase one non-stick skillet for omelet making! By the way, anyone who is trying to decide on whether to &#34;go induction&#34;, DO IT!
Answer: No it's not. It is actually why I got it because I wanted to use metal utensils. I thought they'd be hard to clean but they surprised me. Being able to use SOS pads helps. I hope this helps you.
