Customer review: “Fantastic set for the price. I will say be aware that the frying pans are quite small, probably better for bacon and eggs, so if you cook larger portions of food, for example, a curry etc, I'd definitely purchase a larger one separately (I've also done this). They clean within seconds and are definitely non-stick!! They have a good quality finish to them and are a well-needed addition to your kitchen, for this price you can't go wrong!”

Customer review: “We have only had them for two months but could not be happier. They show absolutely no signs of the heavy use over the Christmas period. The handles are solid (not hollow) stainless steel so there are no water traps. The clever design means that very little heat travels to the handle during normal use on the hob. The handles are attached with a pair of large rivets and seem very secure. I have seen comments that some would have preferred welded joints but, as far as I know, it is not possible to weld stainless steel to the heavy aluminium of the main body. I would definitely buy this brand again but hope not to need any new pans for many years now."

Customer review: “Very good saucepans. They are very well built, really solid, and a dream to clean. I have only had them a few months but so far I can honestly say they are probably the best saucepans I have ever bought. Saying that, they are the most expensive ones I have ever bought! I would definitely recommend them though.”

Customer review: “I've used these for a few weeks now and although I'm usually sceptical of marketing claims, I have to say that these pans are genuinely good! Solid and well-made. I do use some oil or butter when I cook but with these, you don't really need any. They're also easy to clean. Very pleased with my purchase and with the fact that I got them on here for much less than I could see advertised elsewhere.”

Customer review: “This cookware is excellent. I've had non-stick, Tefal etc in the past, and they always wear out, or even worse, the non-stick layer starts peeling off! These have none of that, they're as non-stick now as they were when I bought them. They're great to cook with, easy to clean, easy to look after. As an added bonus, I also think they're quite stylish.”
