We have tried many brands of cookware but are totally satisfied with Berndes. We now have skillets, and various sizes of pans by this manufacturer and highly recommend this product to those seeking the highest quality cookware.

Berndes Tradition 10-Piece SetI purchased a complete set of Berndes Signocast Classic Cookware. While I am happy with the nonstick surface and overall quality, I do have one serious complaint. The handles come loose and can not be retightened. I have replaced two of the skillets due to this problem as it presents a safety hazard.

This is a wonderful pan - I replaced my original one that I bought many years ago, because I wasn't too careful and used regular forks when turning the food - and that knicked up the bottom of the pan. I am being very careful with my new pan. The heat is distributed evenly in this pan, and it really cooks great!

Replaced our old non stick pans with the Berndes. The bottom is thick and will never warp! Heats very evenly. Bought this mainly to cook eggs in the morning and I will tell you that it works extremely well. Nothing sticks even blistered cheese comes right out. I should have bought one of the sets since I already want to add more sizes.

For three reasons:

1) The no-stick surface is suberb, in most cases you do not even need spray oil yet things just slide right out. DuPont makes 3 teflon coatings and only the top can be labeled DuPont and this one is the first I have seen. By the way even with no stick you still get some frond.
2) They recommend that after use you immediately run it under cold water in order to best preserve the coating! I held my breath and did it. Bravo, seems like nothing can warp that thick cast aluminum.
3) It survives a 450 degree oven. Saute salmon or steak to get a thin crisp crust and then shove into that hot oven to finish it off. This allows you to maintain even doneness throughout the meat's thickness.

No other brand will be bought for my kitchen and that even includes Swiss Diamond, the previous best.

I have spent hundreds of dollars tring different frying pans...Berndes makes the absolute BEST. They are a bit pricey, but last much longer than regular teflon...You can fry things, and run water in the pan, and it looks clean. Nothing sticks, you just have to put it in the dishwater to make sure your are wiping out the grease, since it already looks clean. I would not buy any other frying pan....I have all the sizes for pan frying and also their oval roaster, great idea with the off set handles.
