I am renovating the apartment at the back of our property where my parents lived until they passed away. We want to use it as a furnished apartment, including pots and pans, so I sadly parted with my parents items and replaced them with this set of pans from Chef Power.
I think some of the pans in our house cost as much as this entire seven piece set, so I was really not expecting too much from them. WOW, was I wrong to have those low expectations. This is a wonderful set. This review is not about the packaging, but my experience has generally been that companies who are meticulous in their packaging are also meticulous in their manufacturing processes. The care and materials that went into preparing these for shipping would make you think they were thousand dollar pans rather than hundred dollar pans. They certainly took pride in the presentation of their product.
As far as the pans themselves, they are very nice. I like how they look. I somewhat prefer a taupe that leans toward violet, rather than tan, but these are pretty. The sides of the pans are not as heavy as some (which is not a bad thing) but the bottoms are heavy, promoting even heat distribution and reducing hot spots. To test the evenness of the heating I set one of them on an electric burner that had just been used to cook dinner. Then I stood there with my thermogun and checked the temp at various spots around the pan as it heated from the hot stove. I could hardly believe the evenness of the temps. Lots of measurements showed the same temp down to a tenth of a degree on opposite sides of the pans. So they heated very evenly.
I will not address the non-stick aspect because even the cheapest, and worst, of non-stick is slick at first. But given the quality in other areas of the pans, I suspect that the coating will hold up just fine. I have included a pic so that you can see them in a setting other than the website listing.
In summary, I would call this set of ceramic pans from Chef Power and absolutely excellent set at a great price. I am glad that I ordered them.
