NutriChef 8-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set

I have just received the pan. It is a work of art!! It is light and heats up very quickly. It is non-stick, as described, and it gets better and better after using it several times. Before cooking, you must season the surface with very little oil with a paper towel and heat it to 200-210 degrees C. Turn the heat off to cool down while preparing the food. Heat up the pan to the desired temperature by heating up again, add the desired amount of cooking oil, and cook it. There would be no food sticking to the surface. This is the same as a normal stainless steel pan but much more forgiving. The lid is also a very nice touch! I look forward to using it more and more! I think I have made the right choice! I can highly recommend it!!

Me gustó su calidad esta muy masiso y en verdad es de acero inoxidable está pesado y tiene una muy buena antiehaderencia. Una muy buena compra

I treated it as recommended and used only low heat. Put a drop of water in the pan, low heat and when water bubbled and evaporated added the oil as it was now the right temp for cooking. Added egg for a sunny side egg. Flipped when ready and it did NOT stick at all. Finished cooking the other side and then it slid out beautifully.
It said it even gets better after using it a few times.
I gently used a sponge to wash off the oil after it cooled down.
Love, love it
My one concern is that the bottom layer is 18/0 not 18/10 like the top. 18/0 is the cheapest s.s. and doesn’t do well when heated.At Crystalia site there is achart on different grades of Ss. !*/10 is the best. 18/0 has no nickle in it and is least durable. Avoid heating (how) or applying force. It is the most vulnerable. YOu must dry it as it is prone to rusting. I hope that because it is bonded to aluminum it will be o.k. It is a heavy pan, nicely made, with a great lid that fits well. Just wished handle which does stay cool, was welded on to make it easy to clean. I hope it lasts a long time.

I was skeptical of the design idea but I had burnt some garlic noodle sauce in my old 10″ “diamond coated” non stick pan which rendered it useless so I thought I’d try NutriChef’s hex stainless steel skillet instead of getting another blue coated pan.

It sears steak and chops extremely well. You can REALLY use metal utensils (metal fish spatula, my favorite). I have a cast iron and even a carbon steel pan, but it seems to take longer to maintain them than actual cooking time. Did I mention, I’m kinda lazy after cooking.

Back to the garlic noodles. Even stir frying with oyster sauce and hoisin, this pan rinses clean without stuck on spots.

When my remaining “diamond coated” pans wear out, I’m replacing them with NutriChef’s hex models. I highly recommend this quality pan.

Edit, update in March 2024 since purchase and regular use in 2021. I cannot recommend these pans, which is unfortunate. Shortly after the water expired, some of the coating wore off around one of the handle rivets. I reached out to customer service at NutriChef and they were unable to assist me because it was past the one year warranty. I continued to carefully use the pan, thinking that food was unlikely to get up to that rivet anyway. Now there’s enamel, or whatever it is, wearing away on the cooking surface as well. No metal tools have been used on the pan, despite that being a selling point. I have always hand washed these pans.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend these pans anymore and will not purchase any more myself. I have concerns over the materials used and suspect the faulty one is not safe to use as the materials fleck into our food. Which is too bad, it was great while it lasted….(approximately 1 year).

Also, this is now the third time I’ve tried to update this review; let’s see if Amazon/NutriChef allows this one to stick.

Original review, 2021.
These pans are wonderful! We bought a set of three pans to replace our 10-year-old Calphalon non-stick pans. The Calphalon was looking a little scratched and worn, even with silicone utensils. We are hopeful that with proper care, the NutriChef pans will last a long time. They are non-stick, but we are most excited about the inability to scratch or damage them (with proper use!) If we decide to replace the pots we have, we will consider NutriChef. The pans are heavy, sit flat on our electric stovetop. The handles on both the pans and the lids don’t get hot, which is great! The Calphalon set DID get hot, so I’m glad not to have to worry about using a hot mitt when cooking on the stovetop.

This wok is perfect for cooking large amounts of food. The handle is sturdy, allowing safety use of the wok. Cleaning is easy and the lid fits perfectly. The design is beautiful.

I’m converting to hybrids after going back to the old Revere Ware from the horror of peeling non-stick, and finding the old steel pots and pans not particularly easy to clean after cooking. Most hybrids are pricier than my budge allows, but the NutriChef has all same features without the big price tag. Still needs a little olive oil to help the non-stick, which is only common sense, but cleans very easily.
