Stainless Steel Cookware Set, 11 Piece Pots & Pans, Gold

I received this Greenpan 11 piece stainless set 6 months ago. I have used all the pans frequently and am very pleased with it. I ordered this set because of the features (stainless, sizes, appearance), not because of the price.Pros: the handles stay extraordinarily cool. the bottom is thick enough to keep even heat. The sizes of the pans are quite useful for different cooking methods and for small to medium quantities. The pans are not too heavy (the 12" saute pan is of course a touch heavy due to its size). They are attractive.Cons: the pans aren't thin, but they're not thick, either - if you are looking for heavy investment quality cookware, this is not the set for you - the cookware will last for a lifetime but possibly dent or bend if dropped on a hard floor. It does not have "non stick" qualities that "non stick" cookware has, but food does not stick often for me after educating myself on youtube on how to use stainless cookware to minimize sticking (I quit "non stick" cookware cold turkey to get away from its harms). The instructions clearly say to handwash the cookware to keep the finish in its best condition - I have opted to do this, and I can tell you its lustrous finish is maintained that way (stainless cookware washed in the dishwasher will dull and microscopically pit, increasing likelihood of food sticking.) The cookware can stain (depending on what you're cooking), but Barkeeper's Friend takes the stains right out.

I was skeptical replacing my non stick pans for stainless steel. But I read about and watched a couple videos about stainless care and use best practices. I am so happy to say that I do not have food sticking or discoloration issues. But I do follow the simple recommendations for preheating the pan and using a little oil in the pan. Even eggs come out without sticking. If I have an issue, I just use Bar Keeper’s Friend and it cleans up shiny as new. I do not put the pans into the dishwasher so to keep the nice finish on them. I do, however, put the glass lids in the dishwasher because it gets the glass cleaner than handwashing.I chose this set particularly because it had the sizes of pans I wanted most. I already had an 8 inch frying pan, so I was happy that this set had 10 and 12 inch pans. Plus I liked that there was an 8 qt stewing pot instead of 6 qt. The sauce pans are nice sizes as well. I love that they can be used stove top or oven. And I was happy that this set had gold handle option. It makes them so pretty.I have been using these pans since Christmas. I love this set and expect to get MANY years of use and enjoyment from them.

I bought these pans 6 months ago when I got my new induction stove. I love these pans. They cook evenly and clean up well. I wash them by hand. I have burned a few things in the frying pan but if I heat up the pan with some water and dish washing liquid, let it cook for a few minutes and scrape the bottom with a flat wooden scraper, it washes out easily. The sizes are great. I did buy a smaller pan to heat a can of soup. They all still look brand new! So much better than my old cookware.

I’m excited with my pot set, it’s beautiful and complete. The only but I have is that I wish the gold handle where a little more gold, it’s very light gold and when I wash the pot set it stays with like a blue purple hue , not sure why. I use like Palmolive dish soap and a scrubber that doesn’t scratch the pots so they all look like new it’s just the drying part I guess. I decided to keep my set after the great deal I got. Also, I did notice my food cook quicker than usual, since I have a glass top stove.Update: I’ve had my pots now for a year and they are holding up well. When food stocks to it I leave it in soapy water over night then clean it the next day with a scrub mommy and the pink stuff, which gives the pots shine and removes all the stains bottom and top.See the images , I mean I use them often so so anything that is used often will get some scratches and marks.Note is some of the images I may have lacked a bit on using the pink stuff which removes all stains.

I am so happy with these pans. I love the sizes of the pots and pans. They fit my needs perfectly. I was worried about how they would hold up in the dishwasher, but they seem to be doing great. Rarely does food stick to these pans while cooking.

Everyone who has bought this cookware, or is contemplating buying it - PLEASE read this review.First, let me tell you - if you believe you're getting TRUE stainless-steel - you are NOT.You're getting MOSTLY Nickel and polished Aluminum, with an iron plate fused to the bottom which is done to give the impression of "High Quality", when nothing could be further from the truth.Don't take my word for ANY of this - perform your OWN tests and you will discover the TRUTH about this cookware.-Testing for Aluminum is very simple: Fill the vessel 'about' halfway full with DISTILLED water. You want to use distilled instead of "tap" water because municipal water is FAR from "pure", even when filtered, so PLEASE use ONLY Distilled for this test.Now we have established - Fill the Vessel 'about' halfway with DISTILLED water - allow the water to heat a little first, then add Two Tablespoons of Cream of Tarter - stir it in and if you have a lid for the pot/pan, you can put it on, but it's not a 'must' to use a lid.Now - bring the pot/pan to a boil - doesn't have to be a "hard" boil - a slightly 'rolling' boil will do - for 15 minutes.if after 15 minutes the water is anything but CLEAR - e.g. if it's at all cloudy, there's an overabundance of Aluminum in that piece of cookware - THROW IT OUT - unless you're partial to the dangerous effects Aluminum has on your health.-Now for the "Nickel" test - it's even simpler than the Aluminum test;Get a "DMG" (Dimethylglyoxime) Test Kit - which is available right here on Amazon and other retailers.Be sure you're getting the "TEST" solution and not the "COATING" solution. The Coating solution keeps Nickel off one's skin if they wish to wear Nickel jewelry, etc.-::Reasonings::Aluminum is an element we will NEVER steer totally clear of. it's in the very AIR we breathe - in water, so WHY would anyone wish to INGEST it?PLEASE do your OWN research concerning Aluminum, Nickel, and other "elements" one shouldn't be ingesting.-AND NOW let me say this:i am SO DISAPPOINTED in "GreenPan" for CHEAPING-OUT and calling what is FAR from "Stainless-Steel" - _stainless-steel_Please note the HUNDREDS of people who have purchased this cookware and LOTS of others LIKE it, from whom one can purchase right here on Amazon - HUNDREDS of people have this cookware for sale - USED - which should tell anyone all they need to know about this cookware.Realistically speaking - if it were of good quality, NOBODY would wish to RID themselves of it.-One last thing;it's almost impossible to find TRUE STAINLESS-STEEL cookware now - so if you HAVE any TRUE and REAL Stainless Steel cookware - NEVER PART WITH IT, because you will NEVER find the old-style WELL-MADE quality EVER AGAIN.ALL manufacturers want our money - DON'T pay top dollar - for JUNK !

I bought a single pan at Homegoods and it was easy to clean, and very heavy. I liked it so much, I bought this set. You get a lot of pieces but immediately I noticed they were very light. I used the frying pan, according to directions... I let it warm up on low to medium heat, etc. and my bacon stuck to the bottom like I had glued it on with constructions glue. It was very hard to clean the pan afterwards as well. I wouldn't recommend this set.

Awesome cookware that will be passed down to my daughter. Easy to clean, and great to cook in. Greenspan is now my go to for all cookware.

Magníficas, es una excelente inversión, Ojo hay saber usarla para explotar todo su potencial, me encantaron

Very light weight tends to feel cheap. The steel stained after use even after carefully following all instructions. Disappointing

Buenas noches con gran desilusión y pues molesta , por todo lo k implica una devolución, hoy la estrene e hice unos huevos revueltos y se pegaron a pesar de que le puse un poco de aceite de olíva
