Customer Reviews

Not suitable for glass/ceramic cooktops.
I ordered the black version of this Chroma cookware set with a bonus griddle, opened it up, leafed through the manual, and then found that apparently the sets striking ceramic exterior that complements every kitchen had really better complement new kitchens with glass or ceramic flat cooktops, because it is unsuitable for those cooktops in that there is a high risk of its becoming permanently fused to them if accidently overheated, placed too warm on a cold cooktop, or possible visa/versa. So if you have a gas stove, or an electric stove with coils, you are ok, but if you have one of the popular new stovetops where the burners are part of the same flat surface, you cannot use this cookware. Unfortunately, this is not part of the current product description. The manufacturer would not help me even though I feel this is more of their fault. They have some tiny icons on the side of the box indicating what stovetops the cookware does work with, but not what stovetops it does not. Amazon was great and payed for return shipping and I have suggested they update the product description. I do not think the general public is aware of these issues, and although some might have become aware by reading the manual for a new stovetop, others who received the stovetop when buying or renting a property, or who may upgrade their stovetop in the near future, or who are buying the set as a gift, are unlikely to be aware.

Great starter set
This is my first set of cookware as I've moved into my first apartment. The pots and pans are just the right size for 3-4 person dinners. It's made of great material and I have enjoyed the product thus far.

Beautiful, but smaller than I thought....
I love this set! I purchased it in red and it is a very nice shade, not bright red. I use them on my burnerless stove and have no problems, but I don't cook on super-high heat, either. They are very easy to clean, and the manufacturer doesn't recommend using cooking spray because it is simply NOT needed. I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because the pan sizes are much smaller than I expected, and three of them are similar in size. Otherwise, a great buy and a very well-made set of cookware!
