Sheet Reviews

This set is for the birds! I have done away with using the pots and pans within the first 2 months of buying this! This sounded like a good deal, but the saying is true - 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'

DO NOT BUY. The pots in this set are extremely inferior. I've only had the set for a couple of months and I've already thrown the pots out. The non stick surface started to bubble and stripped off. It even came off in my food, I had to throw it out. I'm so sorry i bought this. The knives are pretty sturdy, the cooking utensils don't really stand up to heat well. Not a very good choice.

If you want something that lasts, look elsewhere, you won't find it here -- the non-stick coating doesn't last long, the paint chips off, bottoms of the pots turn black, and so on. In other words, if you're looking for quality products, you have to be prepared to spend more than this and spend more time finding what you want.

However, this is a good set to get if you're on a tight budget, and an absolutely ideal set for first apartments. My husband and I bought this for our first apartment and it's gotten us through the past two years. Now we're moving and most of what's left of the set isn't worth taking with us, so we'll be tossing it. Which is okay by us - less to pack!

This time, though, we will buy things that are more likely to last. Again - not a bad deal for those just starting out and/or those on a tight budget. But you do get what you pay for.

I purchased this cookie sheet a year ago as an additional one to supplement the starter set I got from Chicago Metallic. A couple weeks after receiving it (and only a few uses) the non-stick coating started to flake off. I followed the instructions-reducing the cooking temp by 25 degrees for the dark coating and not using metal utensils but after cooking fish fillets at 400 (well under the 500+ degree limit they give) I found my food stuck the sheet and the sheet coating flaking off when I tried to lift the fish off with a nylon turner. I will never buy Nordic Ware again. My Chicago Metallic stuff, on the other hand, is holding up decently (although I am still not totally convinced of the value of expensive bakeware).
