Review on 🍳 Cooks Standard 8-Piece Professional Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Silver by Maria Campbell

These pots and pans have a heavy aluminum base. Yes, it's hard for an old lady. She complains, but she wanted the lid without the glass. So we hold. I think it's good that the handle on the lid is welded to the lid instead of screwed. This will ensure you don't eat contaminants off cheap screws. It heats up more slowly than non-stick pans, but that's typical for stainless steel cookware. And we've opted for non-stick cookware to avoid toxic Teflon. It's 18/10, so 18 chrome 10 nickel, but aluminum doesn't come into contact with food. I think as long as you don't always use them for every meal, you'll be fine. They look clean and shiny but overall I'm happy with the product. Oh, and the handle heats up so you might not need a metal handle if that's what you're worried about. I overlooked that in my research. I hope this helps you make the right decision.
