HOMICHEF14-Piece Nickel Free Stainless Steel Cookware Set - Nickel Free Pots and Pans Set - Non-Toxic, Healthy Induction Cookware

Me and my wife wanted to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle, which included moving away from Teflon coated cookware, leading us to purchase Homichef's stainless steel cookware. I'm pleased to say that after 30 days of constant use, these pots and pans are the best we've ever used. Below are the pros and cons me and my wife have settled upon:Pros:Price and quality. This cookware set looks and feels great! We were slightly discouraged when shopping for stainless steel cookware sets as some of them can be quite expensive. Homichef has made a product that is priced just right with exceptional quality. This cookware set is going to last a very long time.Look and feel. The cookware's mirror finish is perfect. We've had several comments and questions about the set when friends have come over. Homichef even provides a handful of polish packets to bring out the shine if they ever dull. The handle is also firm, doesn't feel or appear loose and never gets hot to the touch.Stick or non-stick. The pots and pans come with a set or recommended uses and guidelines on how to achieve non-stick cooking. Following these guidelines and suggestions provided have truly shown that these pans can be stick resistant. Any food that gets stuck on the pans can easily be brushed off using water and abdish rag or brush.Utensils. This set comes with stainless steel utensils, including 1 spatula that has a silicon flipper and a stainless steel body. The spatula works great with the exception of using the smaller skillet. The spatula itself is large and may be slight overkill when using the smaller skillet. But overall, the utensils are of a high quality.Cons.None.Takeaway: If you're looking for a stainless steel cookware set, look no further.

**I did not include a picture of each piece**Visually, this is gorgeous. It feels solid and well-made but still lightweight and which is nice.I especially love the lids because they are pretty they are very easy to hold onto to pick up. The cooking utensils it comes with are really nice as well. I’m a little worried to use them with the pots and pans as I’m afraid it will scratch, but the paperwork included with the set says it’s ok to use them with the Homichef pots and pans.I have a little staining in my frying pan from heating up butter, but I chose not to season the pans which may be why. I didn’t want to season them as it says that once you do season, you should not wash with soap and water. I always want to wash with soap and water; therefore, I chose not to season them. Other than the little staining, they all have been wonderful to cook in and have been easy to clean as well.I have the Homichef 1.75 qt sauce pan and noticed that it feels heavier than the 2.5 qt saucepan in this set. So these are possibly lighter than others that they have, but they still feel really nice, and I like the lids better on these pots and pans than the other one I have.The only critique I really have is that I wish the size was engraved on the bottom of all of the pots and pans, or shown on the inside of the pan like my other Homichef saucepan. The set does come with a little checklist which shows the capacity and dimensions of each pot and pan which is helpful and nice, it would just be easier if it was actually engraved on the pots and pans. Overall, I’m very happy with this beautiful set and it’s a great price!

We were looking to replace some ageing cookware when the opportunity to test and review this Homi-Chef stainless set with utensils. The finish and overall appearance of the set is quite good at this price point. The choice of small, medium and larger sauce pans is helpful, as are the two skillets, it was also a bonus to have the addional utensils, which were a good quality addition to our cooking gadget drawers.We followed the instructions provided to season the new cookware, and it went well. Both skillets cooked well on the lower recommended heat settings, and the food we cooked did not stick, and clean-up was very easy. The care instructions provided are very good and I recommend you follow those closely. Cooking with stainless is so much different than using other types of cookware. We have several other Homi-Chef cookware items and they have held up well. We do cook quite a bit, and usually prepare larger amounts of food due to our family size.One concern I do have with the sauce pots is the time that it takes to boil a liquid. Using the recommended low heat settings a "4" on our electric range, it took 45 minutes to bring 2 quarts to a boil. This presents a challenge when cooking multiple items on the stove top and trying to coordinate finish times. I did finally have to turn up the heat to about "7" to get the water to a rolling boil. I have another Homi-Chef sauce pan that does heat much quicker. According to the care instructions, using higher heat can warp and damage the cookware, so I am not sure how to address this issue.We used the larger sauce pot to cook down green beans with salt pork, so the low heat and long cooking time yielded some very tasty beans. It has been a concern we have had cooking beans in a non-stick pot, usually simmering for 6+ hours.Otherwise I do recommend this set perhaps as a entry level set for a single or couple. Stainless cookware can be expensive when you get to the higher end professional quality items. It would be a good idea to start with something like this set as you learn the methods of taking full advantage of healthy cooking with stainless, and just how good food can taste when properly prepared with stainless cookware.Also, since we do usually cook larger amounts of food, this set would be best suited for a single or small family.I have been pleased with the Homi-Chef cookware that I do own and sincerely recommend that you give their products a try. Happy Cooking!

Seller made this a great purchase & even sent me instructions on how to clean it! It’s not non stick so much as it is healthy & very hard to find nickel free AND stainless steel:)
