| chenley's Full Review: Maxam World's Finest Steam Control Surgical Stainl... |
I think the state fair is the biggest commercial for this cookware. Like other reviewers, my wife and I were at a fair and watched a presentation on similar cookware that was priced from $1,500-$3,000 for the different sets.
Obviously this is a ridiculous price so we came home and searched the internet and found the same or similar cookware for considerably less but there was still a wide range of prices. The set from www.realcook.com was by far the best deal. The cookware is very heavy duty stainless steel. I've cooked several different things in it and it works great. We upgraded from T-Fal and it's so nice not to have to baby the pans and use only plastic utensils. Steaming vegetables with very little water turns out wonderful. This is a big time savings for me. I like steamed asparagus and before I had to heat a big pot of water for my steamer. With these pans you just rinse the asparagus and throw them right in the pan with the lid. The water from rinsing is all you need. Soups and stews turn out beautiful. The sealing lid captures all the moisture and meats turn out juicy and tender. Cooking with these pans takes a bit of getting used to. They take a bit longer to heat up on my electric stove but you only need to use a low to medium heat once it's initially heated up and the heat is very even on the entire cooking surface.
The set comes with 3 saucepots with lids from 1.7-3.2 quart sizes, a 7.5 quart roaster and a 11 3/8 inch skillet with lid. There is also a dome lid that fits both the roaster and skillet. A double boiler bowl is included that doubles as a mixing bowl with plastic lid. Finally a deep fry basket and a steamer lid are also included.
Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and with the lifetime warranty, there are no worries about the quality.
