   Love this set! Super easy to clean. I’m a chef by trade and normally use cast iron, but sometimes I want a different aesthetic for pics or vids and these are great!

   I have used most pieces of this french-made cookware set since Oct. 2024 (except the big pot). The craftsmanship is outstanding, the surface finish (either mirror or matte) on the interior or the exterior are beautiful and functional. These heat up quickly and evenly. They work for my gas range and an induction cooktop very well. The lids cover the pots nicely so the hot liquid doesn’t overflow when boiling, which is amazing. With some practice, the skillet can work almost a non-stick pan. Generally, it’s also easy to clean. Not inexpensive but it’s worth the price. I expect to use them frequently and these will last a long time.

   The sear that I get on meat with these pans is really nice. I use a ceramic pan for eggs and these for everything else. No teflon on these pans to peel off and seep into your food. They cook more evenly that even my Hexclad pans. These look good and clean pretty easily as long as you don’t bun oil in them….but even then, you can just immediately pour some water in the pan while it’s still hot and it will wipe out when you’re ready to clean it. They are worth the money and there’s a marked difference in performance from my old teflon analon pans.

   We tried so many different brands trying to get a good stainless set without aluminum. As expensive as these were they pitted right away during the first uses. The instructions say heat the water first then add salt, we did that but they still pitted. We have 30 year old lagostina that still hasn’t pitted. I’m thinking the multi-layer and deep draw process is stressing these stainless layers too much and they are ready to fracture. The “don’t use salt” is just a way to blame the consumer for faulty manufacturing.

   Beautifully designed and built to stand the test of time. Careful not to fry anything past medium. Order a can of Bartenders Friend for Cookware. It does an excellent job I’m bringing these puppies back to their original shine.

   Todo venía bien empacado y al parecer sin ningún daño. No la he usado, únicamente la revise rápidamente. Lo que sí puedo decir es que se ve preciosa y de muy buena calidad.

   I just bought the 13 piece set FCT-13 to work with my new induction cooktop and am very happy. The induction cooktop heats them FAST. These pots are very heavy. That’s a good thing, they heat evenly and hold the heat. Only a small woman might find them too heavy. But make sure you get a good grip on the small “ear” handles on the stockpot and dutch oven. There’s only room to get a couple of fingers thru the hole but you have to do it. By the way, the reviewers here who said the handles get hot are right. The small “ears” on the stockpot and dutch oven do get hotter than on the last cookware set I had. I was very pleased to discover that three of the lids were the exact same size and fit FOUR of these pans. A very intelligent design. (My old set had pots with diameters different by 1/2 inch so you were always grabbing the wrong lid.) See photo. All of the pots are engraved MADE IN FRANCE on the bottoms and the handles have FRANCE cast into them… see my photos here. The one exception is the thin pasta strainer insert is not marked. Like all manufacturers, the skillets are measured across the top of the rim. So the usable cooking surface down in the bottom is a lot smaller. The 8 inch/20 cm skillet is 5 3/4 down in the bottom. The so called 10 inch/24 cm unit is really 9 1/2 (although the 24 cm is accurate). Usable 7 inches down in the bottom. Also, the capacity of the pots is measured filled to the brim. In practice the capacity is a lot less because you have to leave room to stir stuff or let rice bubble. Minor quibbles aside, I am extremely pleased with this set and the $330 price (as of today) is a great value. Comparing this to the 10 pc set FCT-10, I really wanted the pasta insert that came with this one for some favorite dishes I like to make. The only other difference is the tiny 1.5 quart (nominal capacity) saucepan which may not be that useful. But at the moment the pricing is so close you may as well get the 13 pc set. Regarding the reviewer here who said one the small skillet was prone to tipping when empty, note that was on the cast iron grid on a gas range. On my smooth cooktop I couldn’t make any of them tip. The shiny bottoms would make this a bad choice for an electric radiant cooktop.
