I have long had my eye on Gordon Ramsey's Hexclad cookware set. I've been desperately needing a quality set of pots and pans for my kitchen. I've been using garage sale and family hand me downs for years.

This morning I chose to punt on the Hexclad idea after reading this on reddit. This just saved me $1,000 at least and a lot of headache too.



Hexclad is also the source of a major lawsuit regarding teflon and PFAS.


In the long list of comments I saw someone posted a video review about the top cookware.



After watching the video, rewinding a few times and reading the grades and comparing I settled on a new Granitestone Diamond cookset. I got the blue set off Amazon for $199 ($210 out the door with free shipping). For that price, I'm elated with the quantity of what I got as well as the quality. I could have gotten the black speckle set for $30 less but I'm a sucker for blue so I said why not. Merry [early] Christmas to me.


Granitestone had the best grades across the charts, best no stick, best even heat distribution and the best hardness of the finish/no scratch. No PFOA, no PFAS, No PFOS and no teflon.

I wish they had cookie trays and bread trays sold separately so I could add several of each but oh well nothing is ever perfect or 100% the way you want it.

Anyways, I'm totally excited about the new set.


Mods: If this needs to go somewhere else please feel free to move it. I wasn't really sure where to put it. Or maybe we need a Cookware Reviews and Discussion sub-forum area?
 
On a side note. We bought this set for our new camper.


We were renting a cabin this summer while looking at camp sites. And they had this cookware in it. I was pretty impressed with it. There were some negative reviews. That to me sounded more like misuse. I'm sure it'll be more than enough for the use we'll put them through. And if they hold up. I'll get a set for home. Ours are showing their 40 years of use and abuse.
