Castelle 10 Piece Heavy Duty 18/8 Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Set for Induction and Nontoxic Cookware, Gold Handles, Dishwasher Safe

These Martha Stewart stainless steel pans are seriously so pretty. At first I thought I made a mistake and should have gone with ceramic. This was my first time using stainless steel and I noticed the discoloration and weird film that a lot of people mention after cooking and cleaning. Also the food was sticking pretty bad. I almost gave up, but I tried Bar Keepers Friend and they came back looking shiny and brand new. I decided to give it another try today because these are the only pans I bought when I moved into my house and I had no other choice. I looked into the proper cooking with stainless steel method, everything changed. I made sure the pan was hot enough using the water drop test and used more butter than I normally would. After that, no issues at all. I made chocolate chocolate chip pancakes and they turned out perfect. Then I used the same pan for eggs and they cooked beautifully with no sticking. Cleanup was easy too. Next time I’ll try with less butter but it’s a learning process and I’ll be using these for a long time so I’ll get better. Overall these pans are a 10 out of 10. They are beautiful, high quality, and work really well once you get the hang of them. There is a small learning curve, but if you practice a bit and keep Bar Keepers Friend on hand, they are totally worth it. Would absolutely buy again.

It was time to say goodbye to our old pots and pans. Worn out nonstick that would stick anyway, nothing matches,etc. Plus the concerns about these materials going into our food. We picked this set because of the Martha Stewart branding, it’s a quality product if she’s endorsing it. Stainless steel can be tricky to cook on but after reading instructions on use and care and references on YouTube, we are loving this cookware. Looks great, heavy duty stainless steel steel construction, and easy clean up, even after a couple of “learning experiences”. Highly recommended.

Very nice and durable set of pots and pans. Nice variety of sizes. Have not had any problem with scratching or discoloration.

I was not expecting for this set to so HIGH QUALITY. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy, and the pieces have a consistent, polished finish. I used the set on an induction cooktop, and it heated evenly with no issues. From a build quality and usability standpoint, this set feels like top chef quality cookware, and that's hard to believe at this price point. About to buy 2 more sets!
