If you value your time--these are a must have
By Lexi Genoa
I read reviews and was a little skeptical about whether I wanted these pans or not. What made me want them is their shape. I've had a few pans over my cooking career and pans that are straight up and down have a tendency to burn or stick food at the corner where the bottom meets the sides. A rounded pan sets up a roiling motion as it heats which keeps food/liquid in that area moving so it doesn't stick. I saw these pans by accident and couldn't wait to order them. Then other reviews says to turn the heat way down. Well no kiddin'!! That's because these pans are so efficient with heat that you could cook with them over a candle!! My daughter washed and dried one and then threw some butter in--no heat while she gathered some other ingredients together. She was totally surprised to find the butter melted! There was enough heat left in the bottom to melt the butter without turning on the burner. Anyone wanting to cut fuel costs should invest in these pans. I'd say a solid forth to one third savings could be realized easily. I have two identical skillets--one with copper and one stainless steel. Side by side cooking bacon and the copper bottom one is ready to turn minutes before the stainless steel one. So get the copper bottom ones.Can't say enough good about these pans. I had no problem getting labels off or soaking to make sure the copper didn't turn dark. However, I don't give a kiss whether the copper stays pretty--I like the way these suckers cook!!

Tools of the Trade Belgique Cookware Set
By T.Alvarez
Well, so far so good... I have been using these for a few weeks now and I like them so far. The pots & pans are attractive and a nice weight (not too heavy but not cheap feeling either). I like the silicone on the handles but if you are using anything other than the fry pans they do tend to get a bit hot. I have found cleanup pretty easy and have noticed that if you use a 50/50 vinegar water solution and let it sit for a few minutes you can bring the pan back to new. I Haven't tried the double boiler yet but look forward to doing so soon. I have noticed, as other reviewers have noted, that you do need to adjust your cooking temperature down a bit when using these pans. When cooking meat, you must fight the urge to flip or move the meat around in the pan. The meat releases itself from the pan when it is ready to be flipped. Sounds weird, but it's true. If you try to turn it too soon, it will stick to the pan. This is where cooking with the right heat comes in. If your pan is too hot your meat will stick and burn. If the heat is just right it will cook nicely (beautiful brown crust) and release from the pan. Veggies and sauces seem to cook very nicely as well. Again, use a bit lower heat setting then you use to and a little olive oil in the pan with the veggies. As for eggs, let's just say that some things should just be cooked in a nonstick pan! LOL! All in all I am very happy and hope to be for a long time to come.

By Housewife
I recently bought the 14 piece Belgique set and I could not be happier. These pans cook your food very evenly,they are best cooked over a medium instead of high heat and they look great! If you're looking for a quality set of pans and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars these are for you. I never was a fan of glass lids but now I like seeing my food as it cooks and the silicone handles help to keep a good grip on them as you cook. Invest in the barkeepers friend polish and these pans will look awesome for years to come.
