Starter Cookware Set

I have had and used the cookware for several weeks now. I used to HATE stainless steel cookware and try to clean everything stuck on it, and it is why I am taking my time learning to use the cookware and cleaning it, looking up and reading about the best ways to use them. I have had outstanding success with only one oops where grease got cooked on the outside, and I am still working on getting it off [lots of elbow grease]. But, overall, I am beginning to love them. I can see myself investing in a set of non-stick cookware to have options.

The set is beautiful and sturdy. The handles get a little warm approximately 1.5 to 2 inches out from the pan but I still have plenty of room to hold the handles and it is not hot. They clean easily. I fried some fish and it turned out crispy the way I wanted. I haven't grilled yet. I love my new pots and pans.

I wanted a small set of stainless steel pots and pans and there were exactly what I needed!

We are loving our pans so far. It’s amazing how non stick it can be when you heat it up to the correct temperature.

My only regret is not buying the smaller, Essential SS cookware set. !2 pcs is overkill unless your turning out Thanksgiving dinner for 12 guests. I'm a professional chef and used All-Clad 10" SS sauté pans dating back to the mid-80's. From my brief experience with Misen, I'd have to say the quality is just as good.
