Swiss Inox SI7000 Eighteen-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set Review

If you have an induction stovetop, then the odds are that you’re looking for a cookware set that’s specially designed to meet your cooking needs. An induction cookware set can span many different types of pans, however, there are certain characteristics to look for. Induction cooking is the newest means of all types of conventional cooking and it’s also considered the safest type of cooking. Induction cookware utilizes electromagnetic energy in order to heat the contents of a pan instead of heating from below, thermally, as in electric or gas methods. The heat will come from a magnetic field that flows from the induction cooker to the bottom of a pot or pan. Which is why it’s necessary for some cookware sets to be ferromagnetic, which involves a type of material that’s attracted to magnets. The Swiss Inox SI700 eighteen piece stainless steel induction cookware set is one of the top-rated models on the market. This is the type of cookware set designed to accommodate large dinner parties and events, allowing you to cook and store multiple dishes for guests.

Nuwave Seven Piece Cookware Set Overview: Specs and Features

The biggest selling point for this induction cookware set is the thick nonstick coating, which is designed to evenly cook your food without half the food sticking to the pan and causing some pretty chaotic clean-up time. But some consumers who purchased this model only had negative things to say regarding their experiences cooking with these pots and pans. One consumer was very unsatisfied with this set, stating the nonstick coating does not last and began to come off about a year after purchase. When the consumer contacted customer service they were disappointed to learn that the nonstick coating is not covered under the product warranty. This consumer recommended using an oil or butter when cooking to prevent further wear and tear on the nonstick coating.

Another consumer felt that these were great nonstick pans that need the proper care in order to ensure no damage comes to the nonstick surface. We recommend using a gentle cleanser. Never use anything abrasive to clean these pans and instead opt for a soft sponge. As per manufacturer care instructions you should also not use a cooking spray with these types of pots and pans because it can compromise the integrity of the nonstick coating.

Pros and Cons for this Induction Cookware Set as Provided by Consumers

Pros: Most consumers found this set impressively easy to clean and care for, as long as you follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.

Cons: You will have to be careful not to use these pots and pans on high heat because if the heat has been set too high it will cause the food to stick. Avoid temperatures above a hundred and eighty degrees. You must also use non-scratch cooking utensils in order to avoid scratching the surface of the nonstick coating. We recommend handwashing only, using a mild dishsoap and a non-abrasive sponge.

Conclusion and Rating for this Induction Cookware Set

Many consumers noted that general maintenance and clean-up was about what you would expect from quality nonstick cookware. If you follow the correct care and use instructions there’s no reason why this set shouldn’t last you for several years to come.  If you’re looking for versatile, durable nonstick cookware that’s induction compatible then take a second look at this reasonably priced set by Nuwave. Consumers gave this set a rating of four out of five stars for design, durability and overall quality.

Pros and Cons for this Induction Ready Cookware Set as Provided By Consumers

Pros: This is a beautiful set that promises even cooking. The polish is described by consumers as both functional and gorgeous. Each pot features an interior volume measurement in quarts and liters, which can be pretty handy. Clean up is very easy. Each component should be rinsed before placing into the dishwasher.  Each piece should be dried promptly in order to prevent water spots. Some consumers also noted that pans that are ruined can be easily recovered with a good cleaning. Re-seasoning the pot or pan will make it look great for several years to come.

Cons: According to consumers, the biggest downside of this set is the handles. The handles do not feature a rubberized coating and can get extremely hot. Some consumers also reported that the bottoms showed signs of discoloration after just a few uses. This is pretty common with copper based pots and pans and it can take a little elbow grease to get them looking new again. The glass lids can be difficult to clean, especially because the glass extends over the tops of the rims, which leaves only a small crevice that’s almost impossible to get a sponge into. Some consumers were also disappointed that there was no lid for the large frying pan.

Conclusion and Rating for this T-Fal Cookware Set

This set by T-Fal looks and feels like cookware designed for the pros, but without the high price. This set received a consumer rating of four out of five stars for even cooking, multi-layered base, quality stainless steel construction and pricing.
