Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Made in Germany, Berndes SignoCast thick-walled aluminum cookware is both durable and distinctive in looks. Berndes uses vacuum pressure to cast its pots and pans, which results in a much stronger product than stamped aluminum cookware. Guaranteed not to warp, SignoCast cookware also features break-resistant glass lids, ergonomic phenolic handles for comfortable lifting and stay-cool stovetop cooking, and an oven-safe temperature of 450 degrees F. Berndes was one of the first household goods companies to institute a voluntary monitoring of its impact on the environment, and today goes beyond the requirements of existing environmental protection laws.

This 10-piece set will get a kitchen into cook mode in no time. Included are two small lidded saucepans, holding 1-1/4 and 2 quarts; a 7-quart covered stockpot for making generous amounts of soup or boiling corn-on-the-cob; 9-1/2-inch open skillet; 11-inch covered skillet; and 9-1/2-inch open sauté pan with sides high enough for braising and simmering. Each piece is coated with the Dupont Autograph 2 Gourmet nonstick finish in a triple layer on the inside and double layer on the outside. The finish facilitates fat-free cooking, allows food to release quickly, and makes clean-up a snap. Non-metal tools and washing by hand are recommended. Believing in the high quality of its products as well as customer satisfaction, the company covers the handsome, charcoal-gray cookware set with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLY NICE COOWARE SET !!!, April 9, 2008
By Slimboli "Cigar Man" (Brentwood, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I've been looking for a good cookware set for a long time. Tried the 'bargain' stuff, and they didn't last. Even bought the Wolfgang Puck cookware set ... and the rivets that hold the handles on corroded with use on th inside of the pan ... and the food kept sticking to the pans making them a chore to clean.

Well ... I broke down and bought the Berndes SignoCast 10-piece set ... and I'm in heaven. There really isn't anything NOT to like about this cookware. It's light, it's got the Dupont Autograph 2 non-stick teflon coating (with no handle rivets inside) ... and it even looks nice. It even cooks well at lower temperatures, which is better for taste and keeping in the nutrients.

Made in Germany ... this is very high quality cookware with a lifetime warranty. I will never buy the stuff made in China ... ever again. I like it even more than the few Calphalon pieces I own. I wish I would have known of this brand before ... as it seems this set is going to last me the rest of my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy, April 29, 2008
By cne (NJ) - See all my reviews
I bought this set knowing the brand - I am from Germany. The price I paid here at amazon, $219 is similar to what I would have had to pay back home finding it on sale, i.e. this is not a $1100 set! However over the years this brand has always been at the top or among the top of the list of tested cookware in Germany and therefore most certainly worth this price.

Cooking with them is a breeze, the food heats evenly. And the coating is truly non-stick which makes cleanup a delight too. I also personally like the fact that the pans are not as heavy as some other ones I've used.

Some other observations: Receiving the set, I had to disassemble each lid, as the knob was attached on the inside. I'm assuming that was for transportation purposes. Not necessarily a downside, just hadn't expected to have to get out the screwdriver for cookware. Also the lids do not stay on the pots and pans upside down, so no stacking these when not in use.

The first set I received had some abrasions in the skillets. Faulty packaging I guess. Amazon promptly sent me a replacement, and reimbursed me for the return shipping. So I was happy with the smoothness of the exchange.

Anyway I hope to update this review once I have used this set for a longer period of time.

Update @ 11 months:

As to the usage, still non-stick, no scratches, no chips, no warping. Always hand washed and non-metal utensils used at all times. I do put the lids into the dishwasher. Had to tighten 2 handles so far, the ones on the skillets. As I do use those the most.

Also, the lid to the stockpot fits on the 9.5 inch skillet and on the 9.5 inch saute pan. So every piece has a lid, they just have to share... I initially purchased the pasta insert for the stockpot as well, and I exclusively use that pot for pasta cooking. 7 quarts just isn't big enough for my uses. Oh, and the handles for the stockpot are part of the pot, so they DO get very hot! The stockpot is the only one with that issue. All other handles are fine.

I love the fact that these are oven safe. The skillets and saute pan have weathered that test. Haven't used the lids in the oven. Not that I would, just thought I'd add that in case anyone was wondering. If I had to cover what I was cooking in the oven, I'd probably reach for my dutch oven anyway.

All in all if I could I'd change my rating from 5 to 4 stars, since the stockpot handles get hot on the stove, and I had to tighten some handles in less than a year. But honestly I'd sill buy this set again, for the price I paid. And I'd even recommend it to friends looking for a very decent, mid price, non-stick set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very high quality! Just about perfect., May 1, 2008
By ED "zebra01" (USA) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I own this set and the larger set. They are made in Germany. The construction and materials are just First Class. The outside of the pans are NonStick coated - so they stay clean and nice looking. The also use the most advanced Dupont coating. For some reason the price has been coming down recently - they should be increasing due the the value of the EURO. I would not be surprised to see these come from China in the near future. These pans cook evenly and are fast conductors of heat. And for your glass top stoves they are super flat.
