To All the pans I've loved Before!!

So after years and years of use I finally decided to replace my ancient pans that while functional were quite banged up from use and moves and such and since I have had some wonderful experience with my other NordicWare pans decided to go for the gusto and I am so happy I did. This is a gorgeous hunk of pan that can handle any gorgeous hunk of cake you choose to bake in it (my first venture was a new twist on an age old 7-Up pound cake using Santa Cruz Organic Ginger Ale instead of 7Up- FABULOUS)
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SPRAY THESE PANS HEAVILY. If you do it may effect the crust of your finished product. I have even used a baking spray and once I sprayed the pan use a paper towel to wipe it around the inside of the pan so it's not too much. I have done this with my other NW pans with similar success.
I think at the weight and integrity this pan offers it may be the last pan I ever have to buy (and I'm 36 with God- Willing) hopefully many years of cakes to come ;-)

I had a pan like this when I was first married & I was amazed how good my baked chicken & veggies were & my roasts & veggies were.  It took some time to realize it was mainly the pan that cooked everything so well.  Had to have another one as my first one was really well used & I decided to get rid of it.  Couldn't live without it, it's the perfect size for a meat & also the veggies. (like potatoes, carrots, onion & sometime, sliced sm. zuccani)

Awesome pans!
Wish I'd bought these YEARS ago!
 I was afraid to wash them the first time, worried they may be inferior as others have reviewed, but mine are still shiny with no hint of aluminum coming off onto wash/dry towels.
Everything cooks perfectly, better than any of my other pans (many of which DO shed aluminum when washed, so I know what they're talking about).

I may even replace my other sized aluminum pans with Nordic Ware when funds permit!

This pot is absolutely amazing!  I have wanted one of these square pans for years and finally purchased one!!
The clear glass lid is ingenuous!  I can't say who is more excited about it!  Me or my 2 beautiful girls that are learning to cook with mom!  It is so very easy to clean and pancakes turn out perfectly for one!  I am looking forward to purchasing more Rachel Ray pot and pans!!  I am so excited to start cooking again!!  WHOOOO!!  :)

I grew up learning to cook on good old Revere Ware stainless cookware. Of course when I got married I wanted the "new" non-stick teflon coated pans. Now that it's suspect for causing anything from Cancer, to Alzheimers, I decided it best to go back to basics with stainless. I figured I'd just go buy the old Revere Ware that both my mother and mother in law are still using, only to find out that it's not the same quality... so I started my research.  I was pretty much set on getting a set of All Clad, but with a kid going off to college, I couldn't justify the price. I am a mom of 4, and do cook quite frequently, but I am not a professional and just couldn't see paying half a mortgage payment for cookware. Because I have a large family, and my kids do use my pots and pans, I wanted something sturdy. Because I have gone through 4 sets of cookware in my 20 years of marriage, and both my mother and mother in law are still using the same sets they got for their weddings, 55yrs and 45 years ago... I wanted something sturdy that would stand the test of time.
Everyone recommended the Calphalon, but when I saw them in person at Macy's I wasn't in love with the pan handles, or the covers. On a whim I picked up these T-Fal Elegance because they were on clearance at Walmart... I figured If I didn't like them, I'd donate them to my daughter who will be moving out soon, and cooks more with a microwave than pots and pans!
After reading some reviews on here, I was excited, yet nervous to use the new cookware. Let me say for the past month, I have truly enjoyed cooking! The pans heat up SO quickly, cook everything evenly, and clean up very nicely. My 15 year old son seared some chicken and I was SURE it was going to be a nightmare to clean... I told him to be sure to preheat the pan w/ olive oil then add the chicken... he did, and it cleaned up like a charm with little scrubbing.
My daughter burnt Macaroni and Cheese in the bottom of the pan and I was ready to kill her. I let the pan soak for about an hour w/ dish liquid. I washed it out w/ the regular scrub brush I have in my sink. It cleaned up but did leave little marks where the macaroni stuck. I got a Scotch Brite scrubby sponge and scrubbed the bottom w/ dish liquid, and it looks new!
I am so happy with this cookware, it was WELL worth the price, and then some. Only time will tell if it will last the 50 years the old pans did... but for now I am happy with my purchase, and I will update as time goes on. My only request is that this set would come with a 5qt skillet with lid (even thought it would mean a price increase) the 18 piece set does include this, but that was too many pans for me. Buy this set with confidence. If you follow the "rules" for stainless cookware (basically pre-heating and use oil, not Pam spray) you will be happy!

I have basically the whole set of pans but I use this one an awful lot.  The size is perfect and the stockpot is great.  Highly recommend this pan and all the others of this set to anyone!!!

I JUST HAVE TO SAY IF YOU HAVE SPENT YEARS AND YEARS IN THE KITCHEN LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT PANS THAT ABSOUTELY WON'T STICK....THESE ARE THE BEST. I HAVE TRIED MANY PANS OVER THE YEARS..AT HOME AND AT RELATIVES DURING HOLIDAYS AND HELPED WITH THE COOKING. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN TRYING TO FLIP AN EGG OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER AND HAVE IT STICK TO THE PAN. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A VERY LONG TIME FOR THE PERFECT PAN. I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE NON STICKS PANS THAT REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY DON'T STICK TO EVERYONE.YOU WON'T FIND ANYTHING BETTER. YOU CAN SPEND LOTS MORE MONEY ON PANS THINKING THAT BECAUSE THEY COST MORE THEY WILL WORK BETTER. THAT IS SO NOT TRUE. THESE PANS ARE EVERYTHING THEY SAY AND THEN SOME. MCSMILE

LOVE!! We made a cake, and it was awesome. We made another cake, Yummy and it popped out of the pans perfect. We will continue to use these wonderful pans. We lube them up good with coconut oil, and dust with flour. Just talking about it, I gotta go home and make a cake after work now!!

I think this pan has become my new best friend.  I have cooked and served my family meals for over 30 years and I have to say this pan is the best I have ever used.  First the white ceramic coating is environmentally safe with no PFOA, Lead, or Cadmium.  Nope don't want those poisons in my body.  Second this stove top cooking pan has a lifetime guarantee.  I saved my packaging and receipt..and I will hold them to this.  It also has an even cook base and is dishwasher safe.  With all these wonderful attributes the best thing about this pan is nothing sticks..and I mean NOTHING!  I get a mad crush on this pan every time I go to wash it.  Oh when your done cooking it may appear to be sticking...but NO!  Use a little water with a drop of dish soap and this pan wipes clean with just a swish of a wash cloth.  No more soaking or scrubbing pans, it almost makes me giddy!  It is so faithful to me, that I plan on being faithful back and never use a metal utensil on the ceramic coating.  An attractive 5 quart cooker, that I often use as a frying pan and with the clear glass lid can easily follow the cooking process with my food.  And yes love that the lid is included since many pans do not come with a lid, and let's face it finding a lid to match a pan is near impossible.

Okay so my mom has this set. She LOVES them, as do I. I am hoping for Christmas to get a set for my house! But until then I will have to use my celebrity pan set, I was so eager to purchase back in 2006 when I got married. :( Worse blinded decision I made, as I am a huge cook and baker. I LOVE MY KITCHEN and the smiles on my husband and kids faces after eating the delicious food I prepare and make is priceless.  NOW about this set of cookware,  I love how this set has a great weight to it, it DOES clean up nicely, as with stainless steel you use a steel wool scrub, if the food is sticking then you have your burner on way to high! With gas stoves, as I have had one of those before (AND LOVE THEM!) You tend to learn to cook things lower then one would with an electric stove, I love gas stoves because to me it cooks things more evenly. Also with anyone that is a mother, you tend to cook on high because you think the food will cook faster! lol I've done it before too and have ruined a pot or two, and the outcome of the food was terrible. I give this set of cookware 10 STARS, the weight, they clean well, they cook evenly, and they are actually very nice looking! :) SANTA BRING ME THESE FOR MY HOUSE PLEASE! :) <3 lol *until then to moms house I go when I want to cook something on a superb cookware set! :)

I've had quite a few baking sheets in my life and most were incredibly disappointing. However, this pan, my friends, will certainly not disappoint in any way! I love to cook and bake. It amazes me how much easy and tastier cooking is when you have the best possible tools available. My cookies baked perfectly! This pan is a must have!
