BergHOFF Earthchef Premium Copper Clad 10-Piece Cookware Set

Another Disappointment
This cookware was stated to be great for glass top stoves and " would never warp " ...unfortunately mine came slightly warped right out of the box. I called customer service and they were polite, and when asked if they were supposed to be perfectly flat he said yes and to return them if they werent. I opted for a refund and not a replacement. The sides of the stock pot are very thin as well as the other pans walls. They did boil water fairly quickly. Also, one reason I chose this set is because BergHoff is a Belgium company and I was under the impression that these were made in Belgium. When asked, the customer service representative could only say that they had plants all over the world and had no way of knowing where they were made. I'm trying not to buy stuff made in China and he said that it was possible they could have been made there. There was no indication where they were made either on the pans themselves or the box. The bottom of the pan did say BergHoff Belgium, but not...
Versatile and durable pan set
Okay so a little background on me... I learned to cook in a steakhouse kitchen and I am accustomed to putting my cookware through absolute hell in order to get food turned out quickly. I've been extremely disappointed in a number of prominent brands because of their ability to stand up to high-heat, multi-condition cooking. I spend at least 20 hours a week in the kitchen at my house so I can be somewhat picky about my cookware.

I received this pan set as part of the Amazon Vine program and after seeing some of the initial reviews, I was ready to be disappointed. I can tell you after almost a month of using this set in every condition I could think of, this is a 5-star product. I have broiled with it, sautéed, cooked down tomato stock, deep fried, pan fried, and straight up baked with it. I've been nothing but thoroughly impressed. This is not "non-stick" cookware but I have yet to burn anything to it. Clean up has been amazing and as long as you follow the...
Tools make all the difference
Once upon a time, I was a very serious cook. There was nothing I wouldn't tackle in my home kitchen. Over the years, my cooking has become more utilitarian, with only occasional flights of creative fantasy. And with limited disposable income, I have to admit that I never have the best culinary tools on hand. I recently upgraded my pots and pans to the BergHOFF Earthchef Premium Copper Clad 10-Piece Cookware Set, and I have to tell you, it's been a real eye-opener!

Here is what I mean by that: just by having better cooking implements, I get a noticeably improved end product. This is especially evident with, for instance, the sauté pans. These pans conduct heat better and more evenly than my old, cheap pans. Fish fillets and potstickers come out with a pleasing crispness that had been lacking or difficult to achieve in the past, and more evenly browned. This sort of difference is more difficult to quantify with a pasta pot, but who's to say the water isn't...
