Customer Reviews of Berndes 9 Piece SignoCast Cast Aluminum Cookware Set
Customer Rating:  Summary: Quality cookware Comment: Excellent Quality, even heating, cookware. The non-stick coating is on the inside and outside of the pans which makes clean-up much easier. The only negative is that 2 of the pots have small half loop handles which get hot when cooking. The manufacturer include a pair of task specific pot holders to pick up the pans. I don't mind the lack of a full size handle for storage reasons but my wife seems to forget and has burned her hands picking up the pots. Customer Rating: Summary: greatest pots Comment: We ended up buying 3 sets of these because of a great deal on amazon. I'm glad we did. One for us and 2 for gifts. These pots are easy to clean, things just wipe out with a sponge, even after days of sitting, like after cooking tacos, or browning meat. Thee first time i used the large skillet i had a problem. I was making pancakes and had trouble flipping them over, there was no friction. My spatula kept pushing them around in the pan. It took a few minutes to adjust. I've never seen that happen with a pan before. These are well worth the money. I would buy them again. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice looking cookware Comment: Very nice looking cookware. I just opened it and was very pleased. I think it's going to work well. One question tho, when you put the cover handles on, are you supposed to use the flower petal pieces, or discard them? Customer Rating: Summary: Just great Comment: These are just great tools - not the cheap stuff that you get everywhere. I enjoy using them every day. Customer Rating:  Summary: Good enough for the price Comment: I got this in a Gold Box deal. Not bad overall for the price. I've been using them for a few months now, and the non-stick coating still looks good. Not perfect, but still good--a few scratches here and there, and an overall dulling of the new shine of the non-stick coating. The aluminum, however, has discolored, which is pretty normal. They cook fairly evenly, but without the density and heft of something like cast iron, they don't retain heat in quite the same way. Consumer Reports rated this line #5, with the [...] brand being both the best non-stick set and a best buy (more pieces for the same price). The lowest score was for the durability of the non-stick coating (which I can attest to); the highest score was for the ease of cleaning, which to me doesn't make much of a difference. Finally, the handles come loose pretty easily. Just need to tighten them up with a screwdriver, but still, I wish they were a bit more solid. I don't normally rate something five stars unless I really, really love the product and would buy it again. I think I'll be likely to try another line of cookware for my next purchase, to be honest. Oh, in general, watch out for shill reviews. Things to look out for--people with only one review, reviews that say nothing negative, reviews that give five stars, and reviews that all occur around the same time. More Reviews 
Choosing Appliance -> Strainers We recommend 2 strainers for every kitchen. The first is a solid stainless steel colander (one big enough to wash a lot of lettuce at once). The second strainer is a fine mesh conical strainer (called a chinois) which is a must for any serious sauce or stock making. A chinois is an expensive purchase, but with care it will last many years. Choosing Appliance -> Berndes 9 Piece SignoCast Cast Aluminum Cookware Set
Kitchen tips -> Cooking sweet corn Do not add salt to the water when cooking sweet corn because the salt will toughen the corn. Add a little sugar to the water to boost the flavor. |
