Berndes Cucinare Stainless Induction 10-Piece Cookware Set


Nice cookware set for induction cooking.
Beautiful finish and sturdy construction was my 1st impression on this set. I was concerned that some of the pots do not come with matching lids. However, after using our GE induction cooktop range for a month now the lids are not needed. The entire base of the pot becomes the heating element so the cooking is very even.
The pots can be a little tricky as far as sticking. Butter, olive oil or Pam is mandatory for keeping food from adhering to the pots. A neat trick we found if you do get burned on or stained surfaces is to put water in the pot, pour some super washing soda in and bring it to a boil. Let the pot sit for an hour or when you're ready to wash dishes and the stuff magically rinses clean. But all in all it is a very well built set and the cost makes it seem like a bargain.
BEAUTIFUL
These pots are of excellent quality and beauty. I've been using mine for more than one year now and they still look like new. If they stain, it is enough to rinse them with a mixture of water and vinegar and they go right back to their initial beauty.
Berndes Cucinare Cookware experience not good
When the set of cookware arrived, one of the lids was damaged, not in shipping but in manufacturing. Long story short, I had nothing but trouble with the U.S. distributor of the product (Range Kleen in Ohio). And frankly, Stores123, the Amazon partner who I purchased the product from, wasn't much better. All I wanted was a new lid. I ended up requesting to send the whole set back or I would simply dispute the charge with my credit card company. No resolution yet. I will never consider a purchase of Berndes or Range Kleen products of any sort, and welcome the opportunity to let people to know how uncooperative the company was with a customer who received a damaged product.
