Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received these for Christmas 2013 to replace my cheap non-stick set. After my husband ordered them, I read some reviews and saw that the recent reviews were not great. There were many complaints about staining, sticking, warping, and other things. I was worried that the recent production was not up to par with the set that was receiving all the rave reviews from 2006-2010 When I got my set, the first thing I did was to read the use and care guide from start to finish, and I was relieved to see that all of the most common "issues" with this set had been addressed. If your food is sticking and burning, you are using too high a heat. There are directions on how to clean the pots if there is staining, and that to make cleaning easier, you should fill your pots/pans with a little but of warm water immediately after cooking. I have found that all of the tips are spot on, and I have had no problems removing spots or apparent staining from cooking something like pasta. (Vinegar) I have found that hand washing and drying works better to take off stains and give the cookware a nice shine rather than using the dishwasher. If your food starts to stick, your cook temp is TOO HIGH. In my opinion, negative reviews on this product are from people who do not understand that this is stainless steel cookware, and you will constantly need to adjust your old cooking preconceptions, because everything about stainless is different. This is a high caliber cookware set, and I recommend it.
