Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Haven been scared away from my nonstick pan set that I bought last year by research I had done, I wanted to go back to the basic stainless steel pots and pans. Realizing I was safe from andonization (aluminum safely tucked between the stainless steal for even heating), but with some suspicion about anything having such a low price, I took the leap. And landed in pot and pan heaven. Love these! They are lightweight (my other old old kitchen aid stainless steel were so heavy it hurt my wrists) they are shiny and bright, cook evenly on my electric stove (I try to keep the heat medium high at most). I like the glass lids, and the many different variations of pots so you get just the right one for what you are cooking! The handles on the covers aren't so tremendously hot (can use my hands usually) but I do have to use pot holders when moving the pot. Cleaning is about normal for nonstick pans. I handwash, and use a sponge, and if something especially sticks to the pan I let it sit in hot soapy water for a few minutes which does the trick. If you look at these and balk at the price, or get scared off by the cracked lid, I would put those fears away and give yourself a great item for a super price.
