Healthy Legend Deluxe 8 Pc German Weilburger Ceramic Coating Non-stick Fry Pans and Sauce Pan Cookware set - ECO Friendly Non-toxic Cookware by Commercial Cookware / Healthy Legend

Came across this set several months ago while searching for ceramic coated, non-stick cookware that was also induction ready. Initially looked at Zwilling's Spirit, but decided to try the Healthy Legend, as it was about half the price. I must say that was a pretty good decision. Ordered the set Thursday night...received on Saturday around noon. Handles were easy to install on the lids and on the pot & pans. Immediately made lunch: stir-fried chicken and cabbage over brown rice. I was pleased with the fact that I was able to cook quickly on lower heat, and with less oil, once the pan was hot. Cleaning consisted of simply wiping with a damp dishrag. I have had these for a couple of months now, and my only complaint concerns the handles on the glass lids: they are metal, and get hot. I might search the local hardware stores for some type of non-conductive replacements for these metal knobs. Still, these are a good buy for the money. I eventually intend to get the Zwilling Spirit, but until then, these will do nicely. I will probably get the Wok and the 7 quart stock pot, as well...

Just to qualify this review a bit, I am a mechanical engineer with 20+ years of experience in medical device R&D who also likes to muck around in the kitchen quite a bit. I've been frustrated with the poor craftsmanship and poor durability of "non-stick coatings" (that stick!) and the maintenance difficulties of seasoned steel or cast iron pans. I finally broke down, did a little research, and chose the "Healthy Legend Deluxe 8 Pc German Weilburger Ceramic Coating Non-stick Fry Pans and Sauce Pan Cookware Set" as my first foray into ceramics.Um, wow.First, the craftsmanship rocks. When you pick them up the first time, there is no doubt in your mind that the people who designed and made these were proud of their work and damn good at it as well.Second, performance. A month and 20 very messy omelettes (sp?) after reaching my doorstep, the following is the process for cooking and cleaning up - with a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in the pan at medium high heat (gas range), drop in a handful of mushrooms followed 2 minutes later by one handful of grated mozzarella, 3 slices of muenster cheese, some sundried tomatoes, and some prosciutto. Just as the cheese is about to melt (the edges of the grated cheese begin to slump, in other words), dump in 4 eggs and mix briefly (I've been using a Joseph Joseph Uni-tool, 5-In-1 Utensil, Grey which, though goofy looking, is actually ridiculously useful). After folding (intact with zero futzing!) the omelette simply slides out of the pan.With my old non-stick, the process of clean up was a hassle. With these, almost nothing remains in the pan after sliding out the heart attack provoking meal, and what little remains comes off just by pouring water over it. Cleaning is completed with 15 seconds of wiping it dry with a paper towel.If the coating doesn't degrade over time, I'll have to peg this as my best culinary purchase to date with the possible exception of my very cool toaster oven Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ. I'll check back at the 6 month mark with an update.Update 11/25/2012: Yep, several months later these puppies still work beautifully. See my comment for more information. The only thing I would add to that is that the knobs on the lids do sometimes get too hot to handle if you are using them to, for instance, boil water for pasta.6/23/2014 Update at just past the two year mark: well, I have to say that I discovered a way to kill this pan's non-stick properties - a friend of mine that I'd been dating for a while decided to do something nice for me and cook me dinner for a change. She was not accustomed to my gas range and left the empty pan on the burner without turning it off.She discovered this two hours later, and, trying to be kind, scrubbed it in an effort to get the burnt peanut oil off without telling me initially. When that didn't work, she let me know "Houston, we have a problem", and, confirming it was DOA, we enjoyed picking out a new toy, the 12" Zwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Frypan without Lid Zwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Frypan without Lid [[ASIN:B005SGVVE0 Zwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Frypan without Lidon amazon for $89. It's a beast, and I enjoy it, but I'll review it separately.In summary, it is "killable" in at least one fashion, but I don't think it's appropriate to drop its rating given the abuse to which it was subjected.2/24/2016: all of the pans that I've used for frying or sautéing have lost their non-stickiness. The Henckels pan is still going strong, but don't take even it over medium high heat on a gas range, or you compromise the non-stick factor eventually.Timmer Joseph Joseph Uni-tool, 5-In-1 Utensil, GreyBreville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQZwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Frypan without Lid [[ASIN:B005SGVVE0 Zwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Frypan without Lid

Don't buy, food sticks unless you like to put a lot of oil in your food maybe then it migut work. Also the handles get very hot. I like the size of the pots and the shapes of it, and the glass lid only. I spent a lot of money and would have liked to return it! It was alot of money to spent on pots but I thought maybe I do not have to buy them agian for sometime and these will do the job of being non toxic and non stick but does not work!!!

This is by far the highest quality cookware I have owned. Bought an additional set for my daughter for her birthday. I do want to add that on the large skillet, the opposing handle is an extension of the pan's base and therefore is at the same temperature as the base when cooking. DO NOT TOUCH THIS HANDLE WITHOUT A HEAT PAD WHEN COOKING AS YOU MAY GET BURNED. Still love the pans, just use the good sense God gave you when using them.

Used initially with concern at the new cook ware, though everything we have cooked thus far has been a positive delight. No stick, no muss, cleans well and simply and makes those around here more willing to cook since the clean up is not so much of a pain!

I was a little dubious at first, but the Cookware is amazing. They are very easy to clean and I don't use oil anymore!! I really love this cookware. Best purchase ever.

First review that I have ever done; that's how disappointed I am. The coating is not nonstick, tried cooking a simple egg at lower temp and it stuck right to the pan. The biggest problem is that the small pans do not work on my induction stove top. looks like my son gets to keep the pans for his electric stove , hope they will work!

The cooking surface works great, however not crazy about the knobs on the lids. Water collects between glass and handle after washed. Therefore I leave in dish rack to dry. The knobs get hot. I am spoiled with my other cookware has silicone handles.

Awesome Cook set ! Doing the dishes has never been easier ! I read the online reviews before buying these and the reviews were spot on ! Great !

These Pots and Pans came in approx. 2 days. Shipping was more expensive then I liked but the product is great.Nothing sticks to these. I did a cooking marathon, frying and tomato sauce but hard as I tried nothing would stick. I am very satisfied. I do wish we had a choice of sellers but all in all these Pans perform much better then the green and we are very satisfied with them.

Best frying pans I have ever used and cooks so evenly and very easy yo clean up. I am trying to cut down on my cholesterol and using these pans, with little or no oil helps my diet.

I ordered these because I wanted to see if I could find something that was of better quality than the Chinese ceramic cookware I'd been buying and using since throwing out all my teflon pans. These Healthy Legend pans are definitely high quality and worth the price.The 8 pieces in this set include 2 identical lids (for the large frying pans.) One came out of the box with the rim dented in on one side, but I guess I can live with it. I don't want to go through the hassle of sending them back. But the pans are great. I only wish I could find another small fry pan to add to the collection.Others have commented that you need to season the pans before use, but my set did not come with any instructions at all. Does anyone know what is recommended as far as seasoning these pans?

I have owned this set for almost a year and I am satisfied with them overall. They are well made, very sturdy. They are non-stick, however after a year of daily use some foods will stick to them. They are still very easy to clean compared to other pans. Make sure to follow the care instructions and also not to cook using high heat. I have found that I don't really need to use the high heat anyway. The cooking time may be a bit longer due to the use of lower heat settings, but not by much (using the lids helps to speed up the cooking time a bit). The only time the lower heat setting could be a problem is when frying, but I use a cast iron skillet the few times I fry things. I use my pan on a glass-top stove and it works fine. This is not a perfect set of pans. However, considering how much a high end set of pans costs, this is a great alternative at a reasonable price.

Awful, possibly the worst purchase I've made in my 40something year old life...! Pots/pans are great weight/design & appear to be well made but non-stick surface didn't even last a month. After that, everything began to stick & burn onto the pan....even with excessive oil, butter, etc.!! So after the first month or so, no matter what I cooked and how much fat I used same thing, lots of burning and blackness stuck to bottom of pan (not food, just sticks to pan...maybe I'm eating no stick food lol). Seriously disappointed...they still look great two years later but that's because no one will use them and especially not my sister who is a chef. She says they are the worst and weirdest pots/pans she's ever tried cooking in...

I purchased the 8 " frypan about 6 months ago. When it arrived, my family felt that it was too heavy compared to the teflon pans we had and didn't want to use it.After a couple of days, I noticed that everyone in my family was using this pan.They would even take it out of the dishwasher and handwash it so they could use it.I like it because it is sturdy and flat and sits flat on the stove without rocking. The nonstick surface is, as in the other reviews, everything I could have wished for. I then bought the set and the day they arrived, they were unpacked and washed by my family. They had packed up all of the other (teflon) pans and replaced them with these. I guess that they grew on them. We now have only healthy legend, in the pans that ae available and are looking to get more. Like Dutch Ovens and saucepans.These pans are heavy compared to the teflon pans but not as heavy as cast iron.They require getting use to. We are very happy with these and will eventually replace every pot, pan etc, that we have with Healthy Legend cookware.
