HOMICHEF 14-Piece Nickel Free Stainless Steel Cookware Set - Nickel Free Pots and Pans Set - Non-Toxic, Healthy Induction Cookware

Works great, good quality, it's honestly value for its money and will last you long. Easy to clean and professional. I recommend this for quality cooking

I cook 3 meals a day at home; we very rarely eat out. That being said, my pots and pans get a LOT of use, and I expect a lot of them. I've also become very aware of the toxicity of Teflon, so I went on a mission to find a good set of stainless steel. This particular brand was mentioned on a trusted website because it is nickel-free. After reading tons of Amazon reviews, and also seeing that I had 1 month to try them out risk-free and a 6 year warranty on top of that, I decided to purchase this (very affordable) set. Before the set even arrived, I received an email from the company thanking me for my purchase. The email also gave me a rundown on how to properly care for the set in order to get the most out of them.When my set arrived, I was so pleased with how beautiful they are! The set of nickel-free utensils was definitely a perk. I immediately went to work on seasoning them, which took a little time, but was absolutely worth it. The next morning, I did the "scrambled egg test" on my small skillet. It worked like a dream! I preheated the pan on medium heat. When it started getting hot, I turned the burner down to a 4, and swirled a small amount of butter in the pan before adding my (room temp) scrambled eggs. They cooked quickly, and nothing stuck to the pan! After removing the eggs, I immediately washed the pan with only water and a wash cloth, dried with a towel, and put it away. I've done that several times now, and it still works great. Same goes for the pots. They cook and clean up like a dream. I am so glad I went with this set! Safe and effective!

We were looking to replace some ageing cookware when the opportunity to test and review this Homi-Chef stainless set with utensils. The finish and overall appearance of the set is quite good at this price point. The choice of small, medium and larger sauce pans is helpful, as are the two skillets, it was also a bonus to have the addional utensils, which were a good quality addition to our cooking gadget drawers.We followed the instructions provided to season the new cookware, and it went well. Both skillets cooked well on the lower recommended heat settings, and the food we cooked did not stick, and clean-up was very easy. The care instructions provided are very good and I recommend you follow those closely. Cooking with stainless is so much different than using other types of cookware. We have several other Homi-Chef cookware items and they have held up well. We do cook quite a bit, and usually prepare larger amounts of food due to our family size.One concern I do have with the sauce pots is the time that it takes to boil a liquid. Using the recommended low heat settings a "4" on our electric range, it took 45 minutes to bring 2 quarts to a boil. This presents a challenge when cooking multiple items on the stove top and trying to coordinate finish times. I did finally have to turn up the heat to about "7" to get the water to a rolling boil. I have another Homi-Chef sauce pan that does heat much quicker. According to the care instructions, using higher heat can warp and damage the cookware, so I am not sure how to address this issue.We used the larger sauce pot to cook down green beans with salt pork, so the low heat and long cooking time yielded some very tasty beans. It has been a concern we have had cooking beans in a non-stick pot, usually simmering for 6+ hours.Otherwise I do recommend this set perhaps as a entry level set for a single or couple. Stainless cookware can be expensive when you get to the higher end professional quality items. It would be a good idea to start with something like this set as you learn the methods of taking full advantage of healthy cooking with stainless, and just how good food can taste when properly prepared with stainless cookware.Also, since we do usually cook larger amounts of food, this set would be best suited for a single or small family.I have been pleased with the Homi-Chef cookware that I do own and sincerely recommend that you give their products a try. Happy Cooking!

Decent price andVery nice cook ware.

I have been so pleased with my nickel free pan set from Homichef. they are lovely!Unfortunately I got distracted one morning and did not stir my cereal. It scorched thebottom on my saucepan leaving black rough holes. I tried to clean it as told but itdid not all go away. I emailed the company and the representative, Lawrence, senta long email telling me how to clean it better. I did that and removed some of thescorch, but not all. He kindly told me that even though it was totally my fault,he would send a new saucepan. A very responsible company indeed. These arefine pans from a fine company!!

What I love is it the set is supposedly nickel free. What I don’t love is the fact that it is poorly constructed all the lids have several flaws, liquid or condensation builds up between the knob of the lid and the seal when you wash the lid or when you use the lid so you have to use a screwdriver and unscrew the whole assembly and dry it out every time you use the lid! second the lid knob heats up to horrifically high hot temperature when used and you must Never touch it with your bare hands. Must always use a hot pot holder. The finish on pans is easily damaged. This would be a good set for a winter or summer cabin where they rarely cook or they rarely use the cookware but for every day use absolutely not. I will say the company is very responsive to complaints and feedback however, that only goes too far when you’re dealing with a product that is not very durable the finish on my skillet easily corroded when cooking starchy to vegetables. The only reason I bought the set is it was the only set that was mentioned by Leafe mama on her blog about lead and heavy metals in cookware and kitchen products and so that’s why purchased it. I do have nickel sensitivity and I’m trying to limit heavy metals for my family. I was very excited at first at the thought of seasoning these pans and having a nonstick cooking finish, but my goals were not exactly realized despite me spending hours painstakingly trying to finish and season pans.

Seller made this a great purchase & even sent me instructions on how to clean it! It’s not non stick so much as it is healthy & very hard to find nickel free AND stainless steel:)
