Kitchen Aid Cookware: Berndes 9 Piece SignoCast Cast Aluminum Cookware Set Review

I got this in a Gold Box deal. Not bad overall for the price. I've been using them for a few months now, and the non-stick coating still looks good. Not perfect, but still good--a few scratches here and there, and an overall dulling of the new shine of the non-stick coating. The aluminum, however, has discolored, which is pretty normal.

They cook fairly evenly, but without the density and heft of something like cast iron, they don't retain heat in quite the same way.

Consumer Reports rated this line #5, with the [...] brand being both the best non-stick set and a best buy (more pieces for the same price). The lowest score was for the durability of the non-stick coating (which I can attest to); the highest score was for the ease of cleaning, which to me doesn't make much of a difference.

Finally, the handles come loose pretty easily. Just need to tighten them up with a screwdriver, but still, I wish they were a bit more solid.

I don't normally rate something five stars unless I really, really love the product and would buy it again. I think I'll be likely to try another line of cookware for my next purchase, to be honest.

Oh, in general, watch out for shill reviews. Things to look out for--people with only one review, reviews that say nothing negative, reviews that give five stars, and reviews that all occur around the same time.
