Still UNUSED - Already an attractive addition to my kitchen.
I'm a single guy and searched around for an inexpensive cookware set (< $50) to support my simple minimilistic, single lifestyle. This set seerms to be the deal I need. Used my Amazon Prime membership 'next day' delivery ($3.99) and they arrived today. Each glass lid fits snug has a metal collared vent hole..I like that. The blue color I chose suits me. Bottoms are blue as well. The handles are comfortable and fit my adult male hand just fine. Thanks to my mother Jane; I -know- how to cook...that is...carefully with moderate heat and mindfully. Many cookware set reviews on Amazon moan about warped pans and so on. I know better. I use low to medium heat ('frying' works on 'Medium' guys & gals!) and I closely monitor what the 'F' is going on whenever the range is in use. Frankly many folks are just impatient and thusly neglectful...so thier cookware sets suffer due to unintentional owner abuse. In 2012 people are too busy, too pressured and stressed-out. They have no patience. No...
you get what you pay for
I took a gamble in buying these pots thinking they would be a quick solution to some kitchen issues. (I generally make a habit of seeing items in store before buying them online at all.) The Color splash Pots although aesthetically pleasing lack quality. It is shown in they're thinness and lack of ability with handling medium/high heats adequately. On the upside all the pots stack neatly inside one another so it is good in terms of storage. Good for someone moving into a small place and only cooking passively....but as for the rest of us? Best of luck-you'll need it.
These were not worth the price I paid for them, and I got them for free.
Positives: The serving spoon, slotted spoon, and slotted turner are nice enough. The pans stack well inside each other. The lids have hole in them to vent the steam.
Negatives: Everything else. After only two weeks of light to moderate cooking, the bottom of the saucepan is burnt and discolored. The bottom of the saucepan was originally covered in the same paint as the sides and every time I cook, I smell the paint burning off. It is a rather toxic smell, definitely not appetizing. Food also sticks quite a bit to the surface of the sauce pan, so I find myself having to use more oil than I previously did. I will be getting rid of these pans asap. They are cheaply made and cannot handle heat well at all.
