Cook N Home 7-Piece Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Pots and Pans Kitchen Set with Tempered Glass Lids, Induction-Ready, Dishwasher-Safe, Silver

I’ve had this set for about a month now, and have used each piece several times and cook twice a day every day. I enjoy cooking and often experiment with new recipes, so good quality cookware was important to me. I live in a small apartment and wanted a very basic set with only the essentials. I was originally looking into a much more expensive Cuisinart or similar multi-ply set, but I’ve used one less expensive fry pan from this brand before and enjoyed it, so I decided to give this set a try to save some cash. I’m glad I did.First, the weight. Each piece is quite heavy and sturdy, and they absolutely feel like high quality pots and pans that will last me years. Handles are attached very well and feel super durable, but do not get hot. Lids also have some heft and don’t feel cheap in any way. I have a lot of confidence in the build quality of these. I could drop one out of a third story window and I don’t think I’d even find a dent.Next, the heat retention is fantastic. I can finally get a mean sear on a steak without half the pan turning into a burnt mess and having the metal warp over time. These pots and pans heat up quickly and very evenly, and retain the heat very efficiently.Being stainless steel, it’s super easy to deglaze these to make a bitchin’ pan sauce, or simply clean them by soaking in hot water and soap for a few minutes. Minimal scrubbing required. There’s some staining that occurs over time, but this is purely cosmetic, happens with all stainless cookware, and there are products out there to return the original shine. This doesn’t bother me at all.All in all, this set has really taken my cooking to the next level and I’m super happy with it. I’d buy this again in a heartbeat, and I’d highly recommend it to someone like me who only needs the basics and wants to really improve their cooking.

I thought this cookware a little lighter than according to previous reviews I've read. But, I'm glad that they are. I can handle them easily, even when full of food. Not too light though. This is the first set of stainless steel cookware that I have bought. I've always used cast iron & non-stick cookware. Before, I bought another brand, very nice, very heavy 12" skillet (3ply clad all over). And the first time I used it, it warped on me. I could barely lift it or maneuver it with food in it. So I had to return it for a refund..However, this 10" saute pan is extremely easy to use. A little smaller cooking surface than expected. (Only 7"). But I also have a cast iron 10" skillet that I use most of the time, so this saute pan is fine for my use. I saute onions, bell peppers, etc... and make my delicious ommelettes in it ... perfect! I really love how nice they look. How easy they are to clean, and how sturdy they feel even though not too heavy. I would prefer a better handle on the sauce pans for better control though. These handle are round and hard to grip when pouring liquids out of the pans. Just make sure to have a really good grip on them.The 8qt. stock pot is really nice. The 2qt. & 3qt. sauce pans are perfect for cooking sauces, veggies, rice, Mac & cheese, etc...This cookware set is well worth the price. Mine still looks brand new after cooking in them for almost a week. Because they are so easy to clean. And I can be a messy cook, even though, I'm told, I am a good cook. :-)If you have a really small budget like I do, and you want a really good quality cookware set? This set is what you are looking for. They look as if they will last for a long time yet to come!

6 month update.My thoughts on these pans have not changed and I still love them. They are going strong and no damage. What I love the most is how rough I can be with them. I burned rice on the pot and I just used a steel wool to clean it. If it was my made-in, I would have to think twice since it was so expensive. I really do highly recommend these!Short version:A very solid and well built cookware. No bulging or warping of the pan after 3 months of everyday use. Cooking performance is very similar to made-in pan. The biggest difference is that the handle can get slightly warm compared to the made-in one which does not. However, nothing a $10 silicone handle wont fix. Save some money and grab this one!Please know that Stainless steel will be non-stick if used correctly. I recommend watching a guide and explanation on youtube. However, you can always have a cheap non-stick pan for eggs and use stainless steel for everything else. You'll just have to buy a non-stick pan every 6months or so because the coating will come off eventually.Long Version:I bought a single 10" made-in pan wanting a cookware that would last me forever. However, the cost was just too much to buy an entire set. Then I found this product. This set's cooking performance is very similar! The biggest difference is that the handle of this one can get slightly warm compared to the made-in one. Especially, the 3qt sauce pan after boiling something over long periods. However, its not a big issue for the fry pan, just grab a great quality silicone handle that's oven safe. The pan itself is solidly built and weighs around the same as my made-in pan and retains heat very well. If you have cooked with a 3ply stainless steel cookware before, you'll be familiar on how this cooks.The quality is amazing. There are no warping or bulging in the middle and has stayed flat after 3 months of everyday use. I will update my post after 6months and 1year of use. Discoloration of stainless steel cookware is normal! Even my made-in has it. You can get rid of it using vinegar. I recommend everybody to try this cookware and dont forget to buy a silicone handle and you'll love using this! This is literally around 10% the cost of a made-in set. Save your money!
