Cook N Home Kitchen Cookware Sets, 12-Piece Basic Stainless Steel Pots and Pans, Silver

A dear friend who cooks very well kept mentioning all year that she would love to purchase a cookware set, and was looking for an additional set to add to her cooking/baking schedule. I have been listening to her speak about what type of cookware sets, and mysteriously asked her what brands names does she like, she mentioned brand names as well as the amount of pots she would like in her cookware set. I saw this Cook N Home 12 Piece Stainless Steel Set on the Amazon website, and I thought for the quality, style and discounted price, this would make an excellent gift.I viewed different types of cookware available during the holiday season. I was surprised by the different sizes, prices, variety, and quality of these sets. I decided to purchase this Cook N Home 12-Piece Stainless Steel Set. I was concerned that since the price was discounted, would the quality of this cookware be durable enough for the type of food she wanted to cook in this set. I know that food can sometimes be compromised because the pots are not durable enough to cook the food while maintaining the taste of the menu/recipe in the final results of cooking.I was concerned about whether the food would taste great in this cookware set based on the price. I started to ask her about different cookware brands, she mentioned a few manufacturer brand names she previously knew, as well as brands she saw on the Amazon website that she was interested in purchasing.I ordered this set for her as a Christmas gift, she was extremely surprised, appreciative, and her family thought that it was a great gift, and gesture on my part to give her something that was needed, appreciated, and of great quality. She did wait until Christmas to open the gift, although she is someone who loves to open gifts early. I would and she would definitely recommend this cookware set to others, as well as Amazon Customers who are looking for a quality, durable, and reasonably priced stainless steel cookware set. This set is efficient for all your cooking needs. She stated that it was packed neatly/securely, and delivery was timely. When it arrived, she did not know what it could be and wanted to guess what I could have purchased for her, coming up to the time of Christmas Day, she promised she would not open the gift until Christmas, although guessing everyday what could it be inside the large box.She was extremely surprised; her family appreciated the gift since they would benefit from more varieties as cookware would not be an issue to receive more selective dishes at mealtime. She is very happy with this gift, and appreciates that I was listening all year as she kept stating that she wanted another cookware set. She likes the fact that it looks much better than she could have anticipated, definitely a quality stainless steel cookware set, cooks nicely whether frying, steaming, stewing, or using to bake some meals, and very easy to wash. It has mirror polished stainless steel, inside and outside, capsulated bottom for even heat distribution, suitable for all cooking source electric, gas stove, or glass and ceramic, capsuled bottom with aluminum disc inside for even heating, stainless handle rivet to provide durability, and tempered glass lids for clear viewing while cooking.

I love these pans. Perfect sizes! Great price too. Great quality.

For my health, I decided to get rid of non-stick and plastic. I've been buying cast iron because I know it is very safe. Piece by piece, I've bought all the cast iron basics. And I have some Pyrex for baking. Feel clueless about stainless steel? Well, I sure was. I bought a couple pieces from a second-hand shop and sent all my food to its doom. I was left with very unappealing cookware that has been buried somewhere. I'm not sure where to look, but they can stay buried.Well, I couldn't stay a chicken forever because I'm sure my hair was growing white feathers instead of gray hair. Stainless steel looks very pretty, like something I want to eat off of every day. So I began to look at stainless steel cookware sets on amazon. Then I was ogling stainless steel in youtube videos and cooking videos. Daily, I clucked and pecked at my wish list with indecision because I really didn't want to spend a lot of money for a whole set of stainless steel I'd have to find a new burial place for. This set has only one frying pan, which is exactly what I wanted. Many sets I looked at had multiple pans, but I wasn't looking to replace my cast iron skillets, just add to my cookware choices. I also like the handles on the lids more than the sets with knobs. Easier to grasp with a potholder I think. With the winter weather and holiday season coming up, I enjoy cooking and baking more, so the time had come to do something about my lack of stainless steel. I purchased this set with a hesitant sigh of relief.When the set arrived, I inspected each piece closely before washing. Some of the pieces had very minor dents. I think I only noticed them because I was so anxious, scared, excited - glowing. I had a friend here while I un-boxed, because of course, I had to show off my shopping skills just a little bit.I earnestly began to plan my whole life and diet around testing this cookware. A twelve-piece set cannot be tested sufficiently in an hour or two. I poached eggs, cooked rice, fried chicken, Italian sausage, made berry sauce, cooked dried beans, cooked bacon, fried eggs, made soup, heated frozen vegetables, and cooked pasta. I learned how to clean this cookware immediately after cooking and after letting sit overnight. I developed a fondness for this set that's almost as intense as my feelings for my cast iron. Yes, I'm very attached to my cast iron because of all the time and energy I've put into getting them seasoned just right - including not letting anyone else touch them. I hand clean my new set just as carefully, with hot water, salt, and baking soda. Then I carefully dry each piece by hand - I don't think they will rust from air drying, but they don't gleam as well through water spots.When I buy a double boiler and stainless steel cookie sheets, this new cookware journey will be complete. For now, I'm smiling widely because my stainless steel is beautiful to look at - I didn't ruin any of the pieces. I also didn't burn any of my food because the quality of this set practically guaranteed I wouldn't fail. I know some people think cast iron and stainless steel are hard to maintain, but that's just myth. When used and cleaned properly, the maintenance is a breeze. The alternative, using non-stick is no longer an option for me. I've turned that corner and don't regret it. I have had a lot more fun using this stainless steel set than I could have imagined. It weighs less than my cast iron, so that is a plus when I'm tired or sick. Food cooked in my stainless steel is just as mouthwatering to see as my cast iron. Don't make the mistake to rush the cooking - with cast iron and stainless steel, that is a mistake.When it comes to cleaning, remember that hot water is a friend. No need to spend a lot of energy scrubbing when the hot water will do the heavy lifting.

I've had a set of pans for almost 30 years and loved them. As my hands have gotten older and have some issues I'd been searching for lighter weight pans with double handles. They are not easy to find! Finally came across these. Very reasonable priced. Cooking in them is good and the sizes are better for us at this point. Cleaning them is easy and do they do well in the dishwasher too. If something looks like it will be a little harder to clean I put a little water in them and heat it a few minutes then there's no problem. For me there are 2 cons... I don't care for the way the handles are attached having the "buttons" on the inside makes it so you can't stir smoothly around the sides. In all fairness I haven't found any double handle pans that don't have the handles attached like that no matter how expensive. Without the long handles the pans take up way LESS space and stack great! Now my biggest pet peeve...The edge of the pan is curled under but not smooth so it creates a wonderful spot for water to sit in after you've washed so when you pick up a pan water goes all over you and the floor. The handles stay cool and I don't need an oven mitt to handle them BUT the handles are hollow and not sealed so they can have quite a bit of water in them too. Let's just say I've had to dry the floor more than once! Would I buy them again...Yes...I needed this type of pan with double handles they work very nicely on a glass top stove and are good sizes for us. Other than the water issue these are a great set of pans. In the last two pictures I'm trying to show where the water stays in waiting to get you.
