Review of Tools of the Trade Belgique Hard-Anodized 10" & 12" Fry Pans

Purchased this set at Macys B&M sale for $19.99 total. Pans heat evenly and quickly, comfortable handles. Remember to use only low-med. heat, and to hand wash. Clean up is a breeze. Recommended.

Review of Tools of the Trade Basics Starter 12-Piece Cookware Set

I received this set as a gift, love the extra utensil that came with it, only complaint I have is the browning of the pans if left on high heat. It does not maintain that stainless steal look but great to cook in.

Review of Tools of the Trade Belgique Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set

I've been using this set for about 1 year now and have used the set on both gas and electric stoves.On electric, the set heats up decently fast and cooks pretty evenly, you just have to be careful not to use the burner on high, as it will potentially warp the aluminum disk on the base.On gas, the set is great - even cooking, fast boiling, and no problems with using it on high heat.The set works great for cooking just about anything I've tried.My biggest problem is that the handles heat up a fair amount if cooking something on high heat or for extended periods of time.The silicone rubber grip doesn't cover the entire handle, so the exposed metal can get pretty hot (I haven't burned myself, but there may be potential to).Just use potholders if boiling water, etc.Overall it is a good buy - a great price for a great looking set that performs well.
Also note - there are two types of sets out there- the copper-bottom has all-metal lids.The aluminum-disk bottom has metal rimmed glass lids (which is what I've been using).The glass is great since you can still see when the lid's on.

Product Description

Review of Tools of the Trade Cookright Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set

This is a great set for the money. I bought mine at Macy's on sale the day after Christmass for $59.00. The only thing I can complain about are the fry-pans. They are tappered and shallow; look like small woks. Beside that I like them very mutch. They heat evenly and clean-up nicely. Even at the $129.00 retail price you can't go wrong. Great starter set that should last a long time.

Product Description
The complete package for casual cooks who want to do it right. Each piece in this all-inclusive set features a brilliant mirror-polished stainless steel body and impact-bonded, aluminum encapsulated base that spreads heat quickly and evenly to every ingredient. Limited lifetime warranty.
