by Juan (Grand Prairie, TX) 6 reviews I received my shipment in a timely manner. I have used just about every piece in the set and am very pleased with the overall performance of the cookware. The only problem, (which may be for some), is that the cookware spots on the interior after initial use. Maybe it has something to do with the water here but each piece after use and cleaning has spots that appeared in the bottom on the interior. I would still recommend the cookware if you can get past that little problem.
by Jessica (Demotte, IN) 1 review I finally invested in a great set of pots & pans. I have followed the directions for cleaning and have not had any problems. I did however, but the stainless cleaner becauase our water left a residue and especially when cooking with ingredients with starches it left a film. I did have to start using more oils &/or butter so the food doesn't stick, but it was very easy to clean. These also work great in the oven. This is the only set that I have found able to handle the heat.
by Sandra (Bessemer, AL) 1 review I have used the no-stick coated cookwear for well over 30 years. I have always wanted to try stainless and after all these years....finally.... decided to take the plunge.
I looked at different brands, and sets, and found this set online at the Betty Crocker store. I read the customer reviews and decided that this was the one I wanted. Once I decided on this brand and set I then priced shopped my local stores as well as on online and Betty Crocker had the best price for this brand and particular 17 piece set.
I love this cookwear!
I like how you use a low heat setting when cooking with it and I have had no problem with clean up. I do not have a dishwasher and do the dishes myself. I wash up as I cook, so as soon as I get something completed and into the serving dish, the pan goes into the sink as the manufacturer recommends.
Also, I have a small kitchen and storage space is limited. This cookwear has allowed me to get rid of all of my other pots, pans and skillets and I have actually now acquired more space!
A complete 17 piece set, a well known name brand, stainless, a lifetime warranty, energy saving (cooks over a low heat), easy to use and clean and at a great price ($249).....I highly recommend this set of cookwear!
by Patricia (Severn, MD) 1 review Before buying a new set of cookware, we researched many brands and decided to buy the Cuisinart stainless steel set. We are very pleased with the look and perfomance of all the pots, even though the bottoms show heat spots from frying or sauteeing after cleaning. We feel that they were a great value as well!
