Hello, would anyone have experience with this brand?

In particular the nonstick performance as well as scratch resistance?

Any alternative recommendations?

Thank you. They’re not cheap but if they are indeed durable they could be worth it. We cook nearly every day at home

    If you want a true BIFL cookware get:

    Stainless steel pots.

    For pans, cast iron (if you are ok with the maintenance) or stainless steel.

    I switch between the two, depending on what I’m cooking. I expect my cookware will last many lifetimes.

    I’ve never heard of a non-stick pans lasting more than 5 or 10 years, and that’s if you aren’t being slowly poisoned during that time, either. There are almost no safe non-stick pans, other than cast iron. :)

    SS can be non-stick if you use them properly. But even if you don’t, they are easy to clean and make like new again.

      This is simply untrue. Things are meant to stick to stainless, that’s where the deglazing comes in. That said, I love my stainless frying pans but they are not for everybody. Things will stick and you have to be prepared to deal with that.

        Things will can stick and you have to be prepared to deal with that.

        Again, if you don’t use it properly (i.e. getting the right temperature) then food can stick. The same rings true for even non-stick cookware and cast iron.

        A simple search on YouTube for “prevent food from sticking to stainless steel pans” will give you loads of examples of how to use them correctly.

        If your intention is to deglaze, then you’ll purposely avoid those techniques. This makes SS quite versatile, in my opinion.
