You see the inner layer was so thin that it "disappeared" in smaller or bigger spots (see images below).... they could still be used but have a health risk as I don't know what kind of harmful chemical dissolves into my food while cooking.
This made me realize that I have to buy quality products that have long time guarantees to make sure the quality is really good.
So I set out to find a quality cookware set within a reasonable price range. I came across Zepter but found it to be extremely expensive - yet I was amazed by its quality, guarantee and the end result: the food prepared in these pans tasted delicious! - And they are a healthier option as well.
New goal set: find a stainless steel 12 piece cookware set the quality of which is very near to that of the Zepter's and it is affordable.
No luck first... I "bumped" into Amway's set which is also great AND EXPENSIVE. So kept on looking...(read my blog for details)
For a while I also contemplated getting ceramic ones as I heard a lot of good things about them, but then abandoned the idea as they can break easily and turned back to stainless steel that is a durable material and is very easy to clean.
Finally BINGO
I came across the Emeril one by all Clad featured in the image on the right. So immediately I put this cookware against my test.
Quality check: flying colors - it comes with lifetime guarantee - now I say in today's world you can get life time guarantee! Ticked
Price check: within everyday people's budget range - what's more: 50% off the original price Ticked
How well they work: heat is distributed evenly and they clean up easily Ticked
Added bonuses :
- these pans have flared rims for clean pouring (a feature even the Zepter ones don't have)
- they have tempered glass lids to monitor cooking progress
- can be used on gas, electric, ceramic glass, or induction stovetops
- can be put into the dishwasher
I was sold :) I advise you too to scroll up and click on that link - even if you only want to read more real consumer reviews.
