19PC Professional Stainless Steel Cookware Set

So I purchased these back in 2020 and let me tell you. These are great! It took a little getting used to at first. I was used to cooking on non stick and cast iron. But once I figured out it was closer to cooking on cast iron, I was in business. I've made many meals since 2020 on these and I do not regret it. Food tastes better, cooks better and overly just a joy to work with. They're easy to maintain and if I don't have to worry about scratching then because it doesn't affect them if you scuff them up a little. I use Barkeepers Friend to shine them back up like new whenever they start looking dull. I like that they're also oven safe. That is a huge plus with some of the dishes I make. If I had to, I would purchase these again. Highly recommend!

From the moment I unboxed this set I was in love. It comes with absolutely everything you need. The extra tools that the set comes with are a definite plus. The set was so pretty I didn't want to cook with them. But now that I have used them I love it. Not only were they nice to look at, they are well built and sturdy. I have always used nonstick and was afraid to switch to stainless steel, but now that I have, I'm extremely glad I did. Just make sure you research how to cook with stainless steel if you are new to it. If you respect the stainless steel, it will be very good for you.I highly recommend this set. If you are looking to spend a little more for a good set, but don't want to spend too much, this set is great for the value and you will feel like you are cooking on a set that cost $1500. Definitely buy if you are having a hard time deciding. You won't regret it.

UPDATE: oops my bad. For my cooking school I have been trying to get the right equipment,"Don't blame the worker if he doesn't have good tools"After I tested the DUXTOP small sauce pan, which boiled excessively at temp less then 190 deg on the temp indicator, I put the pans in the closet. I ordered a Cusinart 1 .5 quart sauce pan; same result as the DUXTOP.Next I ordered the expensive ALL-CLAD 1 quart sauce pan. Same result on my NuWave induction heater. I did not get this result on the 8" or 10" fry pans which I tested earlier. I am guessing the NUWAVE heater has circular coils (each successively larger) and the small pan only interacts with the smallest coil. This causes localized heating, which means it is hotter over the single coil, which means it is boiling at this narrow ring. I observed this when just boiling water in the sauce pan. The 8" or larger pan gets two coils.So, For me and my students, we turn the temp down to about 160 and let it simmer longer.It might be possible to design a 1 quart pan with a thicker bottom to reduce the concentration of the heat, but this might cost more and would be less responsive to temperature changes and longer to heat up.When we are simmering a chocolate sauce, however, temperature is critical. or use a bigger pan.Summary: DUXTOP is good product. I am taking the DUXTOP pans back out of the closet.

It's a beautiful set good material. They cook food faster, they are not heavy and will last a long time in your kitchen.

We like these pans and the whole kit comes with a lot of stuff. The pans feel fairly solid, a little lacking in the handle but the pans themselves seem pretty good. Season these things properly and maintain them the way you are supposed to and they are easy to use.I found a few small flaws in the surfaces of a few, but that really doesn't bother me that much. I think you'll find that to be the case in most pans that are going to be affordable for the normal home use.People seem to be interested in where pans these days are made as well, and no these are not made in the US from what I could find. I believe they are in fact made in China...so there's that if that's something you are concerned about.My complaint is that these pans don't really seem to be of much better quality than cheaper big name brands with similar specs. I thought that spending the extra money would result in a better feeling pan quality-wise. But that does not seem to be the case here.All in all though, these are not bad pans, they're decent and average quality. Like I said, season them properly and maintain them and you shouldn't have any issues with scarring, warping and whatnot.

I absolutely love these pots and pans. They are still like new and I use them every day. I use the recommended barkeepers friend for stainless steel cookware for clean up. None of these have warped or discolored. Did I say how much I love these?

It’s everything I ordered

I wanted a set with a large pasta pot and a large sauté pan. I first tried a Viking set from Sam’s club, but it was terrible. The pasta pot took forever to heat, and the metal bottom of a pan corroded and started to flake after the first use. Turns out it was 18/8 stainless steel, and didn’t hold up well to anything acidic. I decided to give this set a try, and what a difference! The 18/10 steel is holding up great, and everything heats quickly and easily. I saw complaints about things sticking, but this set has actually has less stocking and is easier to clean than my old stainless steel set that I’ve been using for years. The sizes are perfect for my needs, the handles stay nice and cool, the lids are vented for less rattling, and the rolled edges pour nicely. I waited several weeks to review, so that I could get a good feel for the cookware, and I can now say that I’m very pleased with this set!
