Berndes SignoCast Classic10-Piece Cookware Set Reviews By Customers

I got this set for x-mas and it is fantastic. The 11" skillet has steep sides so it holds an entire meal, while the smaller skillet is perfect for eggs or small jobs. The stock pot works wonderfully for gumbo. I have not had anything burn with this set and clean up is as simple as warm water and a sponge. The glass lids all fit perfectly. I did have one lid handle that was attached backwards, but 5 seconds with a screwdriver fixed that. Must have been hitting the beer a bit heavy that morning in the factory :)

The stuff is MASSIVE, so make sure you have large cabinets to store them and strong arms to lift them. I have dinged up the skillet a bit but the non-stick coating is thick enough so small scratches do not get through, so it still performs well. Compared to the thin, warped, scratched stainless and non-stick junk I had before, these pots and pans are just fantastic. I only gave them 4 stars because I don't have a lot of experience with high quality cookware and there could be something better out there, who knows?

Money well spent - R. Mills - CT United States
We actually purchased this set about 3 years ago. I came across it here on Amazon and though I would take a second a write a review. This cookware is amazing! Cooks evenly, cleans up instantly, and after almost 3 years of use, it is still like brand new. Very heavy duty, strong non-stick coating, and will not warp like the cheap stuff.

If you are considering a new cookware set, do not hesitate to purchase anything by Berndes, it is worth the money.

Follow Up: It's now 2010 and we are still using this cookware. The fry pan is gone but that is due to my teenagers cooking with it and using sharp utensils. Amazing after almost 10 years, this cookware is still holding up.

Homeowner - R. Scott - Tallahassee, Fl
We purchased 2 full sets for each of our homes. They guarantee that the paint will not chip off. Since you cannot put them in a dishwasher, we hand washed them using a soft sponge. One side being cloth and the other side being a plastic material. Over a period of about 2 years, the paint started chipping off the top rims. We sent 3 of them back without lids along with a check to cover shipping. They sent us 3 new pots with lids in 4 weeks. A good thing about the pots is that once they are heated up, you can cut the burner down. The pots have not scratched our glass top ranges. Glass lids are excellent. Food does not stick inside.

not for long term use - T. Blair - Austin, TX
We received this set 9 years ago as a wedding present. I selected them for our registry at Williams Sonoma. We have always been very careful with them but after about three years they began to chip and the non stick lost it's sheen. I wouldn't recommend these pots for everyday use at all. stick to T-Fal as I've found them to last longer. And of course All Clad has been a winner for me.
