Cooks Standard Classic Stainless Steel Cookware Set 10-Pieces, 18/10 Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Kitchen Cooking Set, Silver

I originally had a set of cooks cooking set from awhile back. I bought this set and love them. Cleans easy, cooks evenly. Modern look

All my life I have been using cheap pots and pans not knowing the danger that was entering my body and my family when consuming the food we cook using it. Stainless steel 18/10 is the way to go!

Okay, first let me say that I am a professional chef, I just bought a condo and wanted to start fresh after a divorce. I'm very picky when it comes to knives, dishware, utensils and cookware. I bought these for my place, not for professional use at my restaurant. I do cook a lot at home and wanted cookware that would last and stand up to cooking at home because the way I cook at a restaurant is the same way I cook at home.The bad:These are great, however they need to be babied. What do I meant by that? These need to be cleaned hard, meaning it's not simple cleaning process, it's a hard scrub or you need to leave them soaking. I hate to leave pots soaking. It seems that the food sticks to the pan no matter how much oil or clarified butter I use. And they stain on the bottom no matter the amount of flame you useThe Great:However, if you can get past the cleaning part, you will get amazing pots and pans that heat evenly and will cook food perfectly. I can truly say that those who left negative reviews truly have no idea of the differences with pots and pans, quality, material they are made of and how to handle. Although these pots require a lot of attention, you will be amazed with how well it will cook the food, no need to cook in high flame at all... They heat up very fast and like I said evenly.These are well made, they have their issues and maybe I love them due to being a chef as they are restaurant quality pots and pans, I am not sure if they are for the average home cook, or if you're upgrading from a target $30 set, these require a lot of attention to keep them well maintained.Are they worth the buy?Yes!Are they for everyone?No!If you've work at a restaurant cooking, you will live them, if you have a dishwasher at home and never scrubbed a pot in your life, you will hate them...Good luck

Good value and nice set of pots and pans. No problem cleaning. Soak if stubborn sticking.

Absolutely love this set! Seems to be very well made and easy to clean. I check handles on any cookware or utensils I purchase for cooking, and these handles are riveted on there very well! They should last a good many years.

I do like this pot set. I did do the "magnet" check and the magnet definitely stuck. They are stainless steel pots. It cooks well and washes well. They do have a bit of weight because of the inner aluminium. Happy with my purchase.

I had an expensive Calphalon anodized set that lasted me almost twenty years before starting to peel and degrade. I decided to replace with stainless - knowing that there is certainly a learning curve with respect to use and cleaning. I also decided that metal lids would be lighter, less bulky, and easier to clean than tempered glass lids. But, most sets with metal lids are high-end, heavy, and expensive! This Cooks Standard set is reasonably priced and has the smaller sizes I want. The handles feel good and the pans are sturdy, but not too heavy. While there are methods to make stainless less "sticky", I do suggest keeping a non-stick skillet on hand for eggs.

I ordered these over a month ago and have NEVER used SS before. I would definitely read all of the instructions first, and make sure to buy the proper cleaner with cloth as well. We have love the pans so far with zero issues. The bottom part that you can tell is the compacted aluminum part is slightly discolored no matter how much I clean it with the SS cleaner...but it has not impacted the cooking at all.
