HOMI CHEF 14-Piece Nickel Free Stainless Steel Cookware Set - Nickel Free Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Set - Stainless Steel Non-Toxic Cookware Set - Stainless Steel Healthy Induction Cookware Sets

I bought just one pot a year ago and have be so pleased with it that I bought a complete set. The pans were well packaged, the instruction booklet for cleaning and seasoning is easy to follow and IT WORKS! I occasionally run my other pan through the dishwasher and then re-season. These work on gas, electric and induction cooktops. I love that they are nickel and coating free. Be aware that nickel free cookware heats up more rapidly than traditional stainless. I love to cook and am hard on my cookware. For the value for the quality is superb.

Me and my wife wanted to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle, which included moving away from Teflon coated cookware, leading us to purchase Homichef's stainless steel cookware. I'm pleased to say that after 30 days of constant use, these pots and pans are the best we've ever used. Below are the pros and cons me and my wife have settled upon:Pros:Price and quality. This cookware set looks and feels great! We were slightly discouraged when shopping for stainless steel cookware sets as some of them can be quite expensive. Homichef has made a product that is priced just right with exceptional quality. This cookware set is going to last a very long time.Look and feel. The cookware's mirror finish is perfect. We've had several comments and questions about the set when friends have come over. Homichef even provides a handful of polish packets to bring out the shine if they ever dull. The handle is also firm, doesn't feel or appear loose and never gets hot to the touch.Stick or non-stick. The pots and pans come with a set or recommended uses and guidelines on how to achieve non-stick cooking. Following these guidelines and suggestions provided have truly shown that these pans can be stick resistant. Any food that gets stuck on the pans can easily be brushed off using water and abdish rag or brush.Utensils. This set comes with stainless steel utensils, including 1 spatula that has a silicon flipper and a stainless steel body. The spatula works great with the exception of using the smaller skillet. The spatula itself is large and may be slight overkill when using the smaller skillet. But overall, the utensils are of a high quality.Cons.None.Takeaway: If you're looking for a stainless steel cookware set, look no further.

We were looking to replace some ageing cookware when the opportunity to test and review this Homi-Chef stainless set with utensils. The finish and overall appearance of the set is quite good at this price point. The choice of small, medium and larger sauce pans is helpful, as are the two skillets, it was also a bonus to have the addional utensils, which were a good quality addition to our cooking gadget drawers.We followed the instructions provided to season the new cookware, and it went well. Both skillets cooked well on the lower recommended heat settings, and the food we cooked did not stick, and clean-up was very easy. The care instructions provided are very good and I recommend you follow those closely. Cooking with stainless is so much different than using other types of cookware. We have several other Homi-Chef cookware items and they have held up well. We do cook quite a bit, and usually prepare larger amounts of food due to our family size.One concern I do have with the sauce pots is the time that it takes to boil a liquid. Using the recommended low heat settings a "4" on our electric range, it took 45 minutes to bring 2 quarts to a boil. This presents a challenge when cooking multiple items on the stove top and trying to coordinate finish times. I did finally have to turn up the heat to about "7" to get the water to a rolling boil. I have another Homi-Chef sauce pan that does heat much quicker. According to the care instructions, using higher heat can warp and damage the cookware, so I am not sure how to address this issue.We used the larger sauce pot to cook down green beans with salt pork, so the low heat and long cooking time yielded some very tasty beans. It has been a concern we have had cooking beans in a non-stick pot, usually simmering for 6+ hours.Otherwise I do recommend this set perhaps as a entry level set for a single or couple. Stainless cookware can be expensive when you get to the higher end professional quality items. It would be a good idea to start with something like this set as you learn the methods of taking full advantage of healthy cooking with stainless, and just how good food can taste when properly prepared with stainless cookware.Also, since we do usually cook larger amounts of food, this set would be best suited for a single or small family.I have been pleased with the Homi-Chef cookware that I do own and sincerely recommend that you give their products a try. Happy Cooking!
