Maxam 9-Element Waterless Cookware Set, Durable Stainless Steel Construction with Heat and Cold Resistant Handles, 17-Pieces

E have an electric stove and cooktop and the work beautifully. No more cooked on over boiling to scrub away on the cooktop when clean up comes around.

I have a set of these pots by a different maker for over 35 years. One pot mysteriously got a pin hole in it. So I found this set which is identical to original set with the only exception of the knobs on top of the pots. These pots with exactly like the ones from years ago. Both sets together now will last me another 35 plus years.

The price on these was far too good to pass up especially for waterless cookware!! I have used Lifetime for 20+ years, but don't have the $2,000+ it would cost for about a 4 piece set. So I tried these. I have had them for a year. The good: they are a good, heavy set of stainless cookware. The bad: did I mention they're HEAVY!!! This also means they take FOREVER to heat up--like electric range forever! (I have also had a gas range for 20+ years!) And the ugly: the whistle top that lets the steam out doesn't ever completely close, so when you're trying to make soup (or simmer anything for a while), YOU WILL GET BURNED by the steam unless you have a THICC potholder to grab the lid. And if you leave the potholder on the lid (even with the steam vent "closed"), it will be soaked in minutes from the steam! It is a serious burn risk. It is far too late to return and I don't want to even give it away for fear someone else would get burned. Definitely beware of these!

Extremely high quality and functional stainless steel product.

Love this cookware. The cookbook and directions need some work, not very helpful.

I love this waterless stainless steel set. I am buying this set for my niece’s bridal shower. I am sure she will love it.

Fabulous product with a fabulously low price

I’m finally ready to write a review. The pots cook well. Are heavy duty and much faster than ordinary ones. I love the top handles because they have an open and close vent. When open it whistles (like a teakettle) so you can close vent.Now the cons. The inside is “discolored” and I only boiled potatoes and no they did not burn. These marks don’t come off. My biggest issue is the discoloring on the outside. Same potato pot that boiled over now has these marks down the side. Again, they don’t come off.I bought these because I love “waterless” cookware and my old set (from 1977) was pretty raunchy looking on the outside. Wanted to treat myself to some cookware that would look nice. Well, I can see that’s not happening. Ah, well, it is what it is. At least it cooks well.
