I was in charge of the company food bazaar and I bought two of these sets. This cookware set is very reliable and with the price it has, I guess it's probably the best deal in the market for the same class of goods.

I also bought another set from this same company called Gourmet Chef awhile ago, and I am going to use the same comment for this set, "No peeling off of the coating, no rusting, no breaking, no leaking, no whatsoever. Again, excellent quality for this price. " I didn't know too much about this brand, but now I guess I have found a new brand that I can trust.

When I first received the package I thought for sure it was too small to hold all the pans but they were packed in nice and tight, no cracks or chips. My niece was over and she wanted to cook some soup so she was the first to use one of my new pans as I hovered over the stove with excitement. We both instantly starting smelling something strange. I thought maybe there was a sticker or something we hadn't noticed and should've taken off before putting a flame under it. Come to find out the handle was actually melting! I haven't had any sticking problems yet, but I suggest NOT putting any of these pans over a high flame! Overall they look great and they work. I don't think I'd recommend them but I'm not returning them either =)

This cookware set is one of the best I've used in years, not to mention its price. Oh, and the free shipping was also what really appealed me.

Now I only wish I had a larger family to cook for, so that I could have the excuse to buy another set. I'm lovin' it.

I loved the cookware set with the blue glass lids. They are well made but lighter than previous sets I've owned. They cook evenly and clean up nicely. For the money I am very pleased with this cookware.

I bought this cookware set a few months ago for personal use.It looked good for the price mentioned..but its a horrible buy !!
the screws on the lids and handles started rusting in a months use..the pots and pans also have hot spots so have to be extra careful while cooking plus it calls for extra use of oil so the food does'nt stick to the pans...thats not all, the handles become very hot and makes a bursting kind of noise..scary !!
will never ever buy anyting from this brand name and will not recommend it to anyone.

The cookware is stainless steel, which is a nice feature, however the metal used in the pans is very thin. In addition, the handles on the pots and pans are a cheaper plastic and the color looks more indigo than blue. Overall, not a bad set though, and very affordable (therefore worth four stars rating).

First of all, you can't really beat the price on this set of stainless steel cookware. They look pretty, and distribute heat evenly. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because once you burn something on these...... it seems there is no way to get it off. I burnt rice in one pan and tried everything to remove it (Bar keepers friend, oven cleaner, letting it soak over night.... etc)If you have any other suggestions that would be great.
But otherwise it is a great product for the price.

Bought it with not too many expectations. Got it the next day, unboxed it and noticed 3 of the pans already had warped bottoms, reboxed it and filed for a return on it.

Don't even waste your time with it, not worth the low price I have seen cheaper and better sets at Walmart for the same amount of money.

They should be ashamed of this set, it belongs on Ebay, not Amazon!

I got this item today and as for the appearance looks fake and the description fails to mention that the (wooden handles are plastic)so buyer beware

I purchased this product and a month later, the frying pan handle began to crack. The heaviest food I ever put in the pan was a third pound of beef. Seems like this product is made with very cheap material. Upon contacting Le Gourmet Chef (the company that creates the cookware) I was told this: "Hello! You have purchased discontinued stock that was sold to a wholesale company. You will need to contact the company you purchased it from as Le Gourmet Chef has no liability on items purchased from Amazon."

Do not buy this product. It is cheap, but not worth the headache.
