Cooks Standard NC-00232 12-Piece Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel Cookware Set

Same quality as Le Creuset, better design than All-Clad!
Reviewing: Cooks Standard NC-00232 12-Piece Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel​ Cookware Set. (I have all the items, except I bought them separately).

VALUE. I've been wanting a set of tri-ply stainless cookware and never understood the premium people were willing to pay for All-Clad. I was really glad to find this brand - I got the 10-piece set and the 11" deep pan - it was cheaper at the time to buy it separately, than to buy this set that includes it (I think now buying this set is the best value). The sets are a fantastic value, the separate items are a bit more pricey, though. I also ended up ordering the 13" "wok" (chef's pan with dome lid) - it might not be a true wok, but it's a great risotto vessel or for anything else that will require "tossing"!

CONSTRUCTION/QUALITY. Anyway, these are so well made. And attention to detail is excellent - these are designed by smart people. I also have a couple of tri-ply Le Creuset sauce pots and Cooks Standard is...
Worthy of nesting with my All-Clad
I own 10" and 12" All Clad skillets and love their beauty and functionality. I was looking to retire pathetic old deteriorated non stick cookware and fill out my cookware with more All Clad but was loath to pay the price. Looking at lower cost alternatives led me to Cuisinart Multiclad and Emirel Pro Clad as well as the lesser known Cook's Standard. Of the three the closest to my All Clad appeared to be the Cooks Standard, the only one I could verify to be of similar weight materials and using 18/10 stainless for the interior steel cladding.

I was not disappointed by the purchase. It had all the pieces I needed (I really like the large 5 qt saute pan with lid), it is indeed a beautiful set (really is more beautiful than my All Clad and performs as well). I was surprised at how comfortable the handles are on all the pieces, the lids fit well and they cook and clean as my All Clad does. I really love this set. While I have only owned this set for two months now I have...
Cooks Standaed 12 pc Multi-ply cookware set
Recieved order in 4 days. Absolutely beautiful. Cooks great easy to clean. I hope that cooks Standard will make more cookware. I would like for them to make a lid for the 10 inch skillet. I do most of my cooking in that. A great value !!

Cooks Standard NC-00203 Classic Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

The nicest cookware i've ever owened
I had recently purchased a nuwave induction cooktop. I had decided not to purchase the cookware that came with it because the cost and the shipping was extreme. You cant buy just any cookware to work with an induction cooktop it has to be made of certain material or it will not work. I had been looking at induction cookware for about a month and the prices were very high every where I looked. I decided to do a search on Amazon and found this cookware. I LOVE IT, it works perfectly with the induction cooktop and my ceramic stovetop. This is the best cookware I have ever owned, it is heavy and made beautifully. I hang them on a pot rack and the lids fit nicely over the handles for hanging. The price in unbelievable for such a nice set that is induction capable and the shipping was fast through FedEx. I would definitely recommend this product for use on any cooktop and anyone out there with a nuwave that doesn't want to pay the crazy amount of money for the cookware that comes with it,...
GREAT SET FOR THE MONEY
I HAVE A CERAMIC TOP STOVE & MY PANS DO NOT JUMP ALL OVER THE STOVE. COOKS VERY WELL!!!!HANDLES DO NOT GET HOT. WORTH THE MONEY. CLEANS UP GREAT!!!!
BAD TO THE BONE
I have been proud to cook with this set, easy cleaning and even heat, prompt shipping this is a very strong set of cook ware beware of one thing when you open it up you must stare at the quality it took me two days before I got it dirty for the first time and it still shines awesome.

Cooks Standard NC-00222 7-Piece II Multi-Ply Clad 5-Ply Stainless-Steel Cookware Set

So far so good
This is a nice heavy set of pots and pans. At first I thought they would be too large but they are actually just the right size for their purpose. Washes easily.
The pieces I needed - I found on Amazon!
I needed a couple of pieces (especially a small/medium sauce pan) for my induction cooking electric counter top appliance. These items fit the bill excellently. They appear well made, well finished and nicely polished. They arrived in promised time. The exterior box was a little beat up, but the cookware inside was without damage. Thanks!
High Expectations
After reviewing hundreds of brands & sets via internet, for the price & options, I purchased this as a gift to my son & daughter-in-law, a military family that must move often. They need a decent quality set that is practical & durable. Not too many pieces to lose & sturdy enough to endure frequent moves. Also, safe for a toddler son to play with (with exception of 1 glass lid cover but another SS lid cover of exact size comes w/set too). Multi-Ply Clad 5-Ply 18/10 SS should be easy clean up & have exceptional healthy cooking results. Expectations of this set are to last & serve them well. So far so good! I'll rate later & may even buy a set for myself if outcome is still 5 stars, but I hope shipping to Guam is not too expensive!

Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

Great First-Time Experience with Stainless Steel | A Helping of Hope
I don't know if you are at the same stage I was: I wanted to avoid the potential perils of non-stick coatings and yet felt a little apprehensive about using Stainless Steel. There are some very negative reviews for similar products, along the lines that they don't cook anything "right" and a jackhammer is required as standard cleaning equipment. You'll be pleased to know that neither could be further from the truth in my experience using this set (the Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set). While I don't deny that a select few may have had a negative experience, I hope this review will put your concerns to rest.

I am a first-time Stainless Steel user. I am not a prize-winning chef. I have recently switched to cooking whole-foods from scratch; and I mean recently. So I am not only behind on my cooking skills, but I've never used such high-quality equipment before (dollar-store plastic utensils, anyone?). The turning point came when I...
Cook great, look awesome
Not sure about other people, but dropping 150+ on a set of cookware isn't something I do often - and I want to keep it that way. So, with much research, I chose this Cooks Standard set over AllClad, Cuisinart, and Kitchenaid...with no regrets.

First, these pots and pans (and lids) look amazing - out of the box, and even after a few weeks after using them. No blemishes, no weird stains or anything. We have some Bar Keepers Friend

Cooks Standard NC-00298 Classic Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set

I am truly satisfied!
I ordered this set about 2 week ago and I've used every piece except for the the largest piece. I paid attention to the boards where many said the cookware should be first heated and then oil added to prevent sticking and so that's what I did. This was my first time using stainless steel and I LOVE it--No sticking! Usually, I'm cooking about with the eyes turned up to the 1/2 way mark at least. Once I reach temperature, I'm only using a fraction of the energy to cook. This was a good investment.
Bought them for use with induction range
These look great and are of excellent quality. A good value. We just bought a Samsung induction range and needed to replace about half our cookware. These fit the bill. If you haven't tried it yet, induction cooking is marvelous! I'm sure these pots would work great on any range though.
Best cookware for the money
I have a set of this cookware and love it. Heats and cooks evenly, and cleans up like a charm. I gave this set to my niece who also loves it. I am 67 years old and have gone through a lot of cookware in my life and this is the best ever.
