Comment:

I found this product while in Canada. Took a bit to find it in the USA, but did order the set once it was available. It is one of the best cooking sets we have owned. We also have a stainless steel set as well. We have had it for around 5-6 years now. The pots and pans heat evenly, and it takes less time for cooking using this set. It would have been great it they were dishwasher-able but that isn't a big deal. I would love to buy more but this set is holding up to time very well.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

Buyer Be Ware. I recently purchased 2 StarFrit Alternative Eco Frying Pans. Both of these had uneven cooking surfaces. The first thing I cooked was an omelets, the high center of the pans left the omelets with a hole in the center. I ended up with an egg doughnut instead of an omelet.

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
