Cooks Standard 10 Piece Multi-Ply Clad Cookware Set, Stainless Steel

This is my first stainless steel set. Once in the past I tried using a stainless steel pan to fry eggs and had a terrible experience. I just recently put an induction cooktop in my kitchen and tested things out by purchasing a single stainless frying pan. After successfully using it a couple of times (watch some online videos on cooking and cleaning with stainless steel) I felt comfortable buying a set. I've used this set for several weeks and so far it is treating me great. We shall have to wait and see how these pans hold up years down the road. I treat them carefully and have not had any problems with stains or burn marks. I did use a metal whisk in the sauce pan so I now have scratches inside the pan, but who cares? this is cookware and it will show a little wear if you are using them to cook with. Don't expect stuff to look brand new forever.Before buying this set I did my research and became convinced that I wanted 3-ply that went along the bottom AND up the sides of the pan. cooks Standard multi-ply cookware met my criteria at an affordable price. If I was a professional chef I'd purchase All Clad, but I"m on a budget and I don't want to take out a loan on my pots and pans. The "test" skillet I purchased was Cooks Standard 10" pan. Now that I've purchased this 10 piece set I have everything that I need for my day-to-day cooking. The steamer basket was a plus. I didn't need one, but I think it's cool to have since it comes with the set. It is small though. I thought the steamer basket would fit in the big stock pot but it doesn't, it fits in the 3 qt saucepan. It's enough to steam some veggies for dinner.The cookware looks great. I love the shape of the handles and they feel good in my hand. Nice and sturdy. This is a great set for the price.

Very good set for the price you pay. I have a few higher end pots and pans and have used plenty of All-Clad. While these aren't quite on the exact same level, they're dang close for this huge of a difference in price.The riveted handles feel sturdy and like they'll stay put for a long, long time, and they look better than the closest other set I found to this, the Cuisinart Multi-clad Pro. On top of that vs the Cuisinart pans these are much nicer to hold on to with a nice round shape instead of being flat.I did have some spotting issues on first wash like other reviewers, however one cleaning for each pan with Barkeeper's Friend and I haven't had the issue since. They heat more evenly than super cheap pans and work great without completely destroying your bank account when you don't have a giant salary to blow.I suspect me and this set of pans will be friends for a very long time through many meals.

It's been 1 year since od daily use, no issue at all.Still 5 Stars I'm a HAPPY camper, love these pans,. Pans still look new inside and out, and of course there might be some small small scratches on the interior bottom. Made sauce today for the forth time and absolutely no burning on the bottom of the pan after 5 or 6 hours of cooking it down October 29 2017 updatei'll keep you updated..December 16 2017 update. Great Pans, no issues at all.. I love to cook by the wayThey might not have as thick of a core as AlClad, but i think it is adequate. Al clad for $480.00 or Cooks Standard for $126.00 hummmmmThese are 4 things i took from reviewers leaving 1 star“They are only a month old and look old and damaged” "The FIRST TIME I used the cookware it developed small pits, and all I did was boil water""Very disappointed with this cookware, first set rusted on most of the pots, pans and lids just from boiling water"" Everything sticks to these pans."I've had my set for 10 weeks now and they are great. I made sauce in the stock pot use very low flame and the pan simmered great, I had the heat turned up a few times and thought for sure I'd find some burned sauce on the bottom when I was done, but the bottom of the pan was fine! I use them all the time and have no issues described in any of the low ratingsIf you use them correctly, i've never had thing stick,I've also had the 1.5 quart sauce pan for 3 months ( bought it to test out the cookware) use it everyday, and it still looks brand new. You just need to take care of it, and not leave food setting in the pans. I wash them when i'm done user them and use Bar Keepers Friend to help keep them clean and shiny.

Ordered the set plus the domed frypan. Frypan is huge and heavy, bigger than the sauté pan even, but solidly built. Set is weighty overall and definitely tri-ply, no seams on the bottom of the pan and is completely flat. They all retain heat, cook evenly and look professional—definitely hanging-rack worthy. Haven't had any issues with sticking, hot spots, etc. Some rainbow effects after washing but that doesn't bother me, it can be polished with bar keepers later if necessary.This was my first stainless steel set and I was so nervous to buy. So many horror stories posted about sticking foods, pitting, warping, or some other disaster even in the most prestigious brands. With this being a “budget” set and me being new to this type of cookware, you would think Id be struggling. Its been a breeze to use these. So much so that Im now convinced that those fancy pans aren't worth the price and/or some people just can’t cook ;pIf you're worried about switching to this set from nonstick like I was, don't be. With a little research on care and common sense cooking, these pans will absolutely do the job and will last you a good long while without omitting toxic fumes or bankrupting you in the process.

Se siente de excelente calidad, es muy práctica, solo que sí necesita de cuidados al lavar y al secar, tienes que quitarle toda el agua si no quieres que se manche.Muy buena opción.

Very good quality. I think this set is great value for money. The secret to using stainless steel pots is to preheat before use on medium high. To test If the pot or pan is warm enough, sprinkle a tiny amount of water on the surface and if the water rolls into little droplets then it is ready for use. Cook on medium high for best results.I purchased a couple of the more expensive All-Clad pieces along with this set and honestly I shouldn’t have bothered because Cooks Standard does the job nicely. I highly recommend this product.

Acabo de recibir estas ollas y no puedo más que estar satisfecha, la manufactura es realmente buena, son pesadas y tienen un grosor adecuado, el tamaño es ideal, la vaporera se adapta perfecto. Mi mamá tiene unas ollas de prestigio y la verdad es que no les piden nada en cuanto a calidad, ademas están fabricadas con el mismo acero 18/10. Si, son hechas en china, sin embargo con altos estándares, en estos tiempos hasta el teléfono de la manzanita y todos sus consumibles son fabricados allá y no veo a nadie quejándose por eso.No son antiadherentes, sin embargo hay que buscar el punto exacto para evitar que se pegue la comida, hacer huevo estrellado no es tan difícil, hay que calentar bien la sarten, agregar aceite, calentarla bien y bajar la flama, así evitas pegadero, cuanto tomas práctica lo harás sin pensar. Vale la pena decir, que en los comentarios de Amazon EUA, comparan estas ollas con las all clad (profesionales y mejores que la prestigiada marca).En cuanto a la limpieza tampoco hay tanto problema, bien lavadas con agua y jabón, las secas con un trapo y luego con una toalla adherente y listo, sin manchas.A cocinar pues!

Impressed by the quality of the set. Each item has a nice weight to it that indicates how thick the gauge is. No doubt they are built to last. I would recommend this product.

Inspected all 10 items and no scratches with good finishing. The cookwares are very solid stainless steel. Value for money as bought at $125. We wash the saucepan the first time thoroughly before use and encountered discoloration in the first 2 photo. Cooks standard advise to use some ingredients to clean it and will try it out.
