LEGEND COOKWARE 3 Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set

I searched far and wide to find this set. There are many sets out there that are cheaper (and less quality because of it) and many sets with fewer pieces, but quantity doesn’t always beat quality. And looks aren’t everything either. Some sets are beautiful, but they just don’t last after much use.
Far too many people of all kinds of products will review things as soon as they open the box and then never return to give their honest opinion.

Well I have been using this set thoroughly, heavily, frequently, and I am so grateful to Legend that I can say easily that these are the best pans I’ve ever used in my life. The heat conductivity of the copper, the durability of the stainless steel, the evenness of cooking across the pan even if heat is touching just the edge. The beautiful lids are not glass which is a huge plus, the handles are extremely ergonomic. Everything I’ve cooked so far, chicken, steak, salmon, veggies, even eggs have been great.

It takes some getting used to for those used to your average nonstick pans. Everything will need a little olive oil before cooking, and heat those pans before putting anything on there. Then it will be nonstick, but without the harmful chemicals.

My set came with gold handles (probably brass?) and although it doesn’t have any practical reason for being that way, I personally greatly appreciate the way it stands out from my old sets. The other legend cookware colors are equally as useful. It makes no difference other than it’s pretty, so get whichever set you like. But stick with Legend because they do several versions of the clad technology that can suit any and every household.

You really get more than what you pay for here. A set like this should be $2000 dollars. I feel like I’m stealing, and customer service is amazingly nice about it. They had a sale on their website and let me use that same deal on amazon. It doesn’t get any better than that. I use these pans, I know now that they are exactly what they advertise.

Keep in mind I have two warnings– clean them exactly as they instruct, but I use barkeepers or baking soda, or boiled vinegar to keep them shiny clean and mirror polished. You can put them in the dishwasher but I want to treat my pans with some respect. They deserve it. These will last a lifetime if you do. But they are also a bit heavy, so if you are elderly, it may become more difficult to use frequently. It’s just a fact of heavy metals.

Durable, unharmful stainless steel, easy to clean if you do it smartly(!) Beautiful, and MAKES GOOD FOOD, WHAT ELSE MATTERS?

I don’t know but I was just so sick of buying my annual nonstick set for them to accumulate scratches and permanent burn marks and warping (I didn’t go that crazy but it still happens). This set is more than worth the cost when you consider you won’t have to buy anything else for a long time, and you get one of every pan you will need along with a plethora of lids. Go for it!!!!

Over all I think this was a GREAT purchase. I am trying to stay away from any and all nonstick at the moment with the stuff coming out about Teflon etc. Plus, anything that causes toxicity in birds feels like maybe we shouldn’t be cooking on it…. but that’s just me. Besides the point i was on the hunt for a good set of stainless cookware that is reasonably priced. We cook on a near nightly basis and i’d say I am an avid cook and like to experiment but am no chef by any means. For the last three years or so we had been living in fully furnished units which allowed me to experience a great deal of mostly subpar cookware. all that to say I wanted something decent and good that I would enjoy cooking on, but didn’t want to spend a fortune. These absolutely fit the bill. They feel great with good heat distribution when cooking on them. The handles stay nice and cool (seems like a no brainer but several years of subpar cookware make this a huge plus that needs to be stated in my mind) I’ve had zero issues with cleaning, since these are not non stick some buildup is expected while cooking certain things … but they always come off when cleaning. the fact that you can plop these into the dishwasher is a huge plus as well. We did do the alcohol pretreatment on all but one (my husband didn’t read instructions) and would recommend doing that for preventing staining. Over all this feels and looks and cooks like a really solid cook set and I would highly recommend this set.
