1.0 out of 5 starsCannot use any type of scouring pad
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2018
I was very disappointed with this such expensive purchase. The main reason I purchased these is because I wanted something ovenproof. They were not as heavy as I was expecting, I do think they were built well, I did not like how they stain really bad, even with water spots and you cannot get it off and most of all you cannot use any scouring pad on them, if anyone knows when you cook in the oven things splatter and get baked on. I am sure the first time I was to use them for that they would look 10-20 years old. They recommend using a special cleaner they have and they did not mention it would take off baked on or water stains, but who wants to do that, so much for the dishwasher. One of the big lids had a very large stain or scratch on it, do not know which, but I could not clean it off. They recommend drying them after cleaning and if your dishwasher leaves any spots, you would need to take them out after the wash to make sure they were good and dry. The reason I went with these expensive pots and pans is because of the praises it received from American Test Kitchen, guess I will think twice with what they say in the future. I truly want to return them, they are so not worth the price. They say they are for professionals, would hate to see what they looked like after the first use. I do not recommend these in the very least. Will be checking into Calphalon, Demeyere, Mauviel or Scanpan.
