Rachael Ray Hard Anodized Nonstick 14-Piece Cookware Set, Orange

I purchased these items and was very excited about getting them. I like the look and felt it would be a great addition to my kitchen. When I got them I really liked the look and was what I expected. That is where it stopped meeting my expectations. I read the warranty and directions and went over everything with my husband so that he knew how to use them. When storing them I even placed the cardboard under each pan as I stacked them so that they wouldn't scratch eachother. I wanted these to last a long time. But they didn't. I have only had them a month and the pans that I use end up with brown spots on the bottom of them. Then recently we were cooking turkey bacon in one of the pans and to this moment I still can't get the 1/4" of stuff of the pan. Everything in the pan stuck to it and I still am an unable to get it off. I wasn't even cooking it on hight heat like they tell you not to. When I called the warranty program it is just a phone number that you are not even able to reach a live person to discuss your issue. All they give is an address that you are suppose to pay to have it shipped to and they will review it for warranty. I feel that is a poor process. It would be nice to be able to actually speak to a live person first before having to pay for shipping across the county. I wouldn't recommend this product and would suggest buying something else. If the warranty process would be easier than it is, I would maybe suggest it as I may have had just a bad set. But with…

After tossing all our flaking nonstick cookware due to health concerns and much research, I bought this set of pots and pans. I am extremely pleased with the set and the price is a real value. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

All Clad Copper Core 10-Piece Cookware Set

I'm a bit of an amateur chef, and All-Clad is the best cookware I've found at any price. All of the pieces heat (or cool) quickly, cook evenly and are easy to clean. They don't ask to be treated with exceptional care, and you get the sense that an investment in All-Clad will last forever. For what it's worth, to me, the copper core is definitely worth the extra cost versus the steel or steel and aluminum designs. They're a bit heavier, but they seem to cook much better. To me, the look is clean and elegant, but functional. But of course, we don't buy pots and pans for how they look...for whatever reason, I just find that I'm a better cook with All-Clad. This particular set is about perfect for most uses. For me, I add a small (1.5Q) saucier, a double boiler and a steamer insert, and I feel like I have all the bases covered. Add to this the fact that they're made in the USA and guaranteed forever - and you have the world's best cookware. Definitely recommended!

Cuisinart 66-14 Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set

We've had ample opportunity over the holidays to put our new cookware to the test. The house has been full of guests. Cooking large and varied meals became the norm. The Cusinart cookware delivered to their quality standard. We are very happy with the product.I will note one minor area that could use improvement. The glass pan and pot covers have a metal lining around the rims. These get exceeingly hot and you must be particularly careful of where you will place the hot tops when uncovering the cookware. It does not detract from their purpose. We offer the comment as a burn precaution.


Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

I recently got a new ceramic top stove when our old electric stove's oven caught fire while reheating thanksgiving leftovers. Since I had the new stove I decided that it was time to buy the new cookware I had been wanting for some time. I looked at a local retail store and liked the Cuisinart best for quality and price. Then I saw this bigger, nicer set on Amazon.com with the free utensil set and ordered it on the spot. I have had the set for a week now and like using it. This cookware is well designed, has a good solid weight to it but not too heavy, it transfers heat evenly and efficiently. Cooking with it takes some getting used to, if you are used to using cheap pots and pans like me you will find that a lower heat setting is needed than you are used to using. Clean up is easy too. Just put warm water with a drop or two of dish soap in the pan when you are done cooking, leave it until the meal is eaten and the water is cool, then wash and dry by hand or put them in the dishwasher using non lemon detergent, and heated dry. They come out of the dishwasher shining with no spots. Overall I think this is a excellent value in quality stainless steel cookware. I would recommend it to any one tired of using cheap cookware and cookware with coatings that always peels off in a year or two. May 16, 2005 I still love this set. I now have them on a pot rack so they can be seen since they still look so good. I have added the steamer insert that works with both sauce pans, it works great…


Earth Pan Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set

I first heard about these pans from my spouse...I then read about them and decided to give them a try. They are unbelievable. My first use; I put in about 2 tsps of olive oil (like I did w/my old 'non-stick' pans)..well, when I was finished cooking...half the oil was still in the pan! Additionally, it seems food is finished more quickly and no doubt the heat is definitely evenly distributed, based on how the food is cooking/browning. I am saving time at the stove and on cooking oil. Not to mention, clean up is a breeze.I am still in awe and love giving a used pan a quick swipe with a soapy sponge and rinse. Now to find a larger skillet by the same people!

Cuisinart 77-14 Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 14-Piece Cookware Set

I am no chef but I do love to cook, and I purchased this set for myself after moving cross-country and giving away an old set of Farberware stainless. I have been using these for the last month and a half and I couldn't be more pleased. I absolutely love them! They heat evenly and the handles do, indeed, stay cool. The pots clean up beautifully. There has been some minor discoloration on the frying pans but that's to be expected, I think, given their purpose. But the saucepans and stockpot come out of the dishwasher looking as pristine as when I took them out of the box! They are SO pretty... Lastly, these pots and pans are not too heavy, which was sa concern for me. I'd tried out other pots and pans (like the Emerilware) at department stores and found them extremely heavy to lift; the Cuisinart Chef's Classic are the perfect weight for me. You do have to be careful about keeping the heat lower, though, or things do burn. The other thing I've found is that, while the handles on the pots and pans stay cool, the handles on the lids do not...just be careful when lifting the lids! Although I think it'd be nice if the 14-piece set included a 2-quart saucepan too, but otherwise it comes with everything you need to cook a big or small meal. There are smaller sets, though, for those who aren't ready to take the plunge. I heartily recommend this set.
