Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels International Classic Clad 10-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Very happy with these
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this set because I was replacing my 16 year old radiant cooktop with a new induction cooktop and most of my older cookware was not induction capable.
I decided that these were a reasonable alternative to the more expensive All Clad cookware and, at this price, if they didn't work out well I could always afford to replace them.
I used them originally with the old radiant cooktop and was quite impressed with how quickly they heated, how well the cooked, and how easy they were to clean. I had expected stainless steel to be hard to clean but these are not. At times I will need to soak them for an hour or so prior to cleaning but most of the time that is not necessary. So far we have used regular dishwashing liquid to clean them.
I'm even more impressed with their performance with my new GE induction cooktop and I particularly like the interior volume markings. It is amazing how I can "titrate" the level of simmering/bubbling/boiling with the combination of the induction cooktop and this cookware.
In short, these are very cost effective, functional, and attractive.
Customer Review: Classic Clad quality cookware, but beware of the warranty
Summary: 5 Stars
After appealing Henckels decision not to replace my cookware, Henckels decided to replace two of my 10 pieces due to the non-stick coating coming off. If two of the pans were defective enough for replacement, all of the pans that had the coating coming off should be good enough for replacement. I realize that this review is not about the specific Classic Clad cookware on this page, I have the TwinCast cookware, which is no longer available, however, I want potential customers to know that their limited warranty is "very" limitied.
I received Classic Clad cookware in place of the two Twin Cast pieces that Henckels agreed to replace. I must admit the Classic Clad cookware is very sturdy and aesthetically appealing. I would reccommend the Classic Clad cookware, I don't think you will ever have to worry about using the "limited" warranty.
I hope this review helps.
Customer Review: JA Henckels Cookware is Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered this cookware by accident. My Cuisinart Cookware set didn't come with a 1 qt. size. So my husband ordered a 1 qt. pan from Henckels. I have a JA Henckels knife set that I love, so I figured that would be good quality. I wasn't prepared for HOW much better the quality is than the Cuisinart. The little pan is super heavy. I can put veggies in with very little water; it just begins to boil and I turn it off. I leave it until the meal is ready and it is perfectly steamed. They are very expensive, so I am getting them bit by bit. I clean them with Bon Ami cleanser and a nylon scrubby pad. It doesn't scratch. I looks like new when it comes out of the dishwasher. It probably helps that I have soft water also.
I would highly recommend these. I am replacing my Cuisinart piece by piece...then I'll put the Cuisinart out in my RV!! Looking forward to replacing ALL the Cuisinart.
Customer Review: Excellent design
Summary: 5 Stars
The ergonomic handles make these pots and pans much better than any other similar pots and pans available. The handles really do stay cool, and they make the pans a lot easier to lift and move. These pans heat very evenly. They do not have a nonstick surface, a feature I prefer. I have a glass cook top stove and usually use a medium low setting for foods that are cooked without water. Baking soda works well for cleaning any residue that sticks to the pan when a higher heat is used. I never use scratchy pads or commercial scouring powders to clean these pans, just baking soda on a dish cloth or liquid dish detergent and warm water. The lids are very convenient, both to use and to store. I prefer these metal lids to the glass lids that come with many pans.Customer Review: Excellent, superb quality cookware!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this set of cookware for over two years, and I love them! The packaging was the first sign of quality. Everything is individually placed in plastic bags, then placed in cloth bags. They are superb quality, sturdy, very well-constructed, good looking, heat evenly, and I expect them to last a very, very long time. They've tarnished slightly, but it does not affect the results, and may be caused by occassionally cleaning them in the dishwasher. They clean up nicely for non-non-stick pans. :) They are a bit pricey, but if you want long lasting cookware that produces consistent results without requiring special care, treat yourself to this awesome set!
