Innova Leyse 10-Piece Stainless-Steel Cookware Set
The handles never get hot on the range top and the saucepans (in fact all the pieces of this line) can be placed in the oven. It is all metal -- there is nothing to burn.
As Kay said, "It is heavy, cooks evenly and cleans up great."
"A fantastic product at a fantastic price!"
I use Bar Keepers Friend stainless steel cleansing/polishing powder on them, after regular washing, to remove the discolorations stainless steel does get, and they still look great!
If someone needed an entire set of serviceable, good looking, use every day of the week cookware this would be the set to get. Mine were made in China and if I suddenly had to replace all my stainless cookware I would purchase this set in preference to my current Resto/Cuisinart/Leyse mix.
Pot Bottoms Falling off - anjon - ca
After only 6 years, the bottoms are separating from the pots. With a 50 year warranty, you would think that these pots should be durable and long lasting.
The manufacturer, Innova, do not reply to emails and their customer service is extremely poor.
Do not waste your money, find another manufacturer instead.

T-Fal Ultimate Stainless-Steel Copper-Bottom 12-Piece Cookware Set
Eggs stick whether you scramble, make an omelette, or fry. You will need to soak the pan but usually soaking will quickly lift off the egg. Sometimes you have to scrub. My cast iron is easier to clean.
The description of the pots and pans say that the handles don't heat up. The lid handles do heat up! Be careful. The pot handles do get a little warm but I've been able to handle them without a mitt most of the time. Our old stainless had similar handles and they got dangerously hot.
The pots do take on an impression of some foods. I guess it's staining but sometimes I can't get them clean.
Sometimes when you cook, you need high heat. If you cannot use high heat on these pots, you lose a range of cooking possibility. For example, you can't pan sear tuna without high heat.
The large pans do not have lids and there is only one lid for the largest pot. I scramble and find that I can't cover all of my pots and pans when I'm cooking. We looked into buying additional lids but they cost nearly as much as this whole set. Looks like I'll be scouring yard sales and thrift stores for more lids.
This is not a bad set but if you do cook, you may notice these shortcomings at bad times, like in the heat of kitchen battle!

Our office cook ordered these. Been using them for a few month, he's happy with them.
Very disappointed with this T-Fal set - Debra A. Coleman - Evanston Illinois
I got this set in February 2010, it is very beautiful to look at but horrible to cook with. The handles get very hot and that beauty will tarnish as soon as you cook in it. I am so disappointed with this set and realize I will have to buy another quality set before year's end.

Gordon Ramsay by Royal Doulton Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
Second, it's a genuine value.
I've used the set for about a month and it is all it is cracked up to be.
It heats quickly and evenly, holds heat well. Fits in small spaces. Handles well on the range. Great elevation on the handles. Intelligent design.
It allows me to cook better and quicker. For example... did a simple mustard chicken tonite. (White wine, herbs, dijon, garlic, spread blah, blah.) Went into the pan on the burner, then into the oven for 30 minutes. Came out EVEN. Did a quick deglaze and reduction in the same pan, sauted some califlour in it and it was perfect. All in about 40 minutes from scratch.
With my previous stuff, that would be a three cookware meal... plus the cleanup.
IMHO, it's the same quality as All Clad, but better designed with a sexier look and a tad cheaper.

Ever since I wore out my last set of Kitchenaid pots and pans, I've been looking for something tough to complement my kitchen. With Gordon Ramsey's line of cookware, I feel like Gordon is over my shoulder telling me it's RAW! Sometimes I throw a slice of Wellington at the wall for effect. I swear, every time I flip a burnt piece of salmon I can feel his disdain and disappointment in the handle.
There's no more questioning whether or not my mother's risotto recipe is absolutely crap, when it comes out of these pots I can serve dinner knowing full well that I am culinary Pol Pot, and I should have my chef's knives broken in two.
Dissapointed - Beata Siwinski - Vancouver, British Columbia Canada
My boyfriend bought a full set of the cookware about a year ago. He was very excited about it even though it was very expensive. He justified the cost by thinking that this set will last for a long time. After using it for about a year, two of the bigger pots developed big cracks like I never seen before! It is though as the whole frame at the top of the pot cracked and I am pretty sure that this crack will keep on progressing down.
Next, the top black layer (the part on which you put the food) is peeling!! This is totally unacceptable for a frypan in this price range. We are still using it as our cookware is totally made up from the GR cookware but give it another couple of months and the whole top layer of the pan will peel off.
Finally, my biggest issue with the cookware - the lids heat up to the temperature of the rest of the pot and you will burn yourself repeatedly by accidentally touching them. They are also very heavy so i you dont have strong hands and are trying to multitask and flip the lid with one hand be warned, it will tip sideways and burn the inside side of your wrist. Extremely poor design of the lids . . .
It does however do great job cooking the food so for my boyfriend, who is the chef in our kitchen, this set works. Unfortunately I cannot agree with most of other comments here.
