Reviewing: Cooks Standard NC-00232 12-Piece Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel Cookware Set. (I have all the items, except I bought them separately).
VALUE. I've been wanting a set of tri-ply stainless cookware and never understood the premium people were willing to pay for All-Clad. I was really glad to find this brand - I got the 10-piece set and the 11" deep pan - it was cheaper at the time to buy it separately, than to buy this set that includes it (I think now buying this set is the best value). The sets are a fantastic value, the separate items are a bit more pricey, though. I also ended up ordering the 13" "wok" (chef's pan with dome lid) - it might not be a true wok, but it's a great risotto vessel or for anything else that will require "tossing"!
CONSTRUCTION/QUALITY. Anyway, these are so well made. And attention to detail is excellent - these are designed by smart people. I also have a couple of tri-ply Le Creuset sauce pots and Cooks Standard is every bit as good and I prefer Cooks Standard shapes of handles, design.
DESIGN. Ergonomic handles. I never liked All-Clad skillet handles - skinny and painful. These pans have comfy handles. Every pan and pot in these sets has a FLARED RIM - very important for drip-free pouring. I won't even buy stainless pots/pans without the feature anymore, regardless of the value. The finish is brilliant - I thought they were photo shopped until I received them :) The interior is matte (brushed), which is also good. All the handles - pots, pans and lids (except the steamer basket lid) have the air-flow "stay cool" design - very helpful and they also look stylish. The rivets are all stainless, at least on the inside. Even some brand-name cookware have aluminum rivets, which are strong enough, but aluminum will eventually grey (oxidize).
PERFORMANCE is excellent. To be sure, that's just physics, it's not like stainless steel is some proprietary material - laws of physics apply across all the brands given the same thickness/construction (these work better than the cheaper thin stainless with thick metal bottom). If your foods are sticking, then it's your technique, not the cookware. But if you use proper technique, you can sear meats and even fry eggs with no sticking. Most other foods (vegetation) cooks without sticking even without regard to technique (but I still like to preheat). Yes, the technique is quite different from teflon/nonstick, but it's worth it. I am not afraid of well-made nonstick cookware (i.e. anodized), but got tired of them wearing out after a couple of years. And you can't put anodized into the dishwasher. Also, the multi-clad cookware is not terribly heavy - just slightly heavier than all-aluminum.
CLEANUP. I told myself that I wouldn't baby this set, so I wash them in the dishwasher just about every time - no issues, it stays brilliant. I haven't needed it, but Barkeeper's Friend will help with removing tougher stains, like if you overbake something in the oven. I once used it to restore an old copper-clad skillet and it removed all the gunk. Normally I just pour boiling water into them while still hot (as if deglazing) and scrape with wooden spatula or let it sit about 10 minutes for the extra tough stuff. After that EVERYTHING comes off.
INDUCTION cooktops. Yes, it works.
BOTTOM LINE: don't buy into the hype of where it's made geographically. These are fantastic on their own, but even better for the money.
P.S. It looks like Cooks Standard also released "5 ply" cookware, but I don't like their look (handles) as much as these. I have a "5-ply" Mauviel roasting pan, but I always thought that's a gimmick - as long as you have a conductive sandwiched core, you're good to go, regardless of how many layers.

Recieved order in 4 days. Absolutely beautiful. Cooks great easy to clean. I hope that cooks Standard will make more cookware. I would like for them to make a lid for the 10 inch skillet. I do most of my cooking in that. A great value !!

This product is amazing when compared to other comparably products. The set is well made with heavy duty construction and should provide many years of service. My mom loves her set and raves about how nice it looks and how good of a job it does when cooking. Also, clean up is a snap and is completed without difficultly!! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to purchase a high quality cookware set without paying a lot of money!!
