Gordon Ramsay Maze Chef Knives 14-Piece Block Set

Ummm my pots arrive today. Firstly, compared to the picture, they had glass or tansparent kidsThey are the maze collection, and on the royal daulton site they are actually cheaper by about $100 with an egg poacher bonus.Don't get me wrong they still seem like a good cookware set, I just feel the description is wrong. For instance my pots came wrapped in plastic, not in any kind of fancy packaging as per the description. They are medium kinda of weight too, compared to all clad equivalents. Hmmm, so a little disappointed to be honest.

My Skillet peeled after about a month of use. The nonstick surface peeled and curled up....Did not use Dishwasher etc. Was very unhappy because of price. I bought from the HSN site....

First, at the price this is a real serious investment.Second, it's a genuine value.I've used the set for about a month and it is all it is cracked up to be.It heats quickly and evenly, holds heat well. Fits in small spaces. Handles well on the range. Great elevation on the handles. Intelligent design.It allows me to cook better and quicker. For example... did a simple mustard chicken tonite. (White wine, herbs, dijon, garlic, spread blah, blah.) Went into the pan on the burner, then into the oven for 30 minutes. Came out EVEN. Did a quick deglaze and reduction in the same pan, sauted some califlour in it and it was perfect. All in about 40 minutes from scratch.With my previous stuff, that would be a three cookware meal... plus the cleanup.IMHO, it's the same quality as All Clad, but better designed with a sexier look and a tad cheaper.

These are much heavier, heat up quickly, look more elegant, and the pans are a bit deeper, a bit wider, and a bit tougher than our friends the All-clad. The set is about $150 cheaper than All-clad to boot. Great set.

I don't know if they are induction safe glass top safe electric and gas safe

Ever since I wore out my last set of Kitchenaid pots and pans, I've been looking for something tough to complement my kitchen. With Gordon Ramsey's line of cookware, I feel like Gordon is over my shoulder telling me it's RAW! Sometimes I throw a slice of Wellington at the wall for effect. I swear, every time I flip a burnt piece of salmon I can feel his disdain and disappointment in the handle.There's no more questioning whether or not my mother's risotto recipe is absolutely crap, when it comes out of these pots I can serve dinner knowing full well that I am culinary Pol Pot, and I should have my chef's knives broken in two.

I love these pots and pans - I've had plenty of nonstick over the years and the bottoms always peel, no matter what brand I get. So, I figured I'd try the stainless steel. I've made eggs, bacon, porkchops, baked pasta, etc. The clean up better than the nonstick. I think they are the best - I LOVE them!!!!

My boyfriend bought a full set of the cookware about a year ago. He was very excited about it even though it was very expensive. He justified the cost by thinking that this set will last for a long time. After using it for about a year, two of the bigger pots developed big cracks like I never seen before! It is though as the whole frame at the top of the pot cracked and I am pretty sure that this crack will keep on progressing down.Next, the top black layer (the part on which you put the food) is peeling!! This is totally unacceptable for a frypan in this price range. We are still using it as our cookware is totally made up from the GR cookware but give it another couple of months and the whole top layer of the pan will peel off.Finally, my biggest issue with the cookware - the lids heat up to the temperature of the rest of the pot and you will burn yourself repeatedly by accidentally touching them. They are also very heavy so i you dont have strong hands and are trying to multitask and flip the lid with one hand be warned, it will tip sideways and burn the inside side of your wrist. Extremely poor design of the lids . . .It does however do great job cooking the food so for my boyfriend, who is the chef in our kitchen, this set works. Unfortunately I cannot agree with most of other comments here.
