Re: Cookware and Cutlery gear.
I`ve not had any really big problems with sticking in my stainless steel. If it`s sticking, it likely means the heat isn`t right and it isn`t ready to be moved yet.
Plus, if something is sticking a bit you can just deglaze the pan with a nice red or white, add some butter and cream, season to taste and you`ve got a delicious sauce to accompany it

Which can't be done with non stick pans.

Re: Cookware and Cutlery gear.
I know ya'll were speaking of rivets for handles, but these Henckels are spot welded (video 4). Those look pretty sturdy.

Re: Cookware and Cutlery gear.
Yeah, looks like a circle of 8 welds rather than the 2 that you see on the cheap stuff. Rivets can also be poorly done.

I tend to forget cause I have sauce pots (2 small side handles) not sauce pans (one long handle).

The worst material I have ever tried to cook on.Really? We have a set of stainless stock pots with copper bottoms. The things are polished to a mirror finish. Nothing sticks to them; they're better than our teflon-coated frying pans. I guess the only way to know for sure is to try them or read a few reviews.
I dunno. The stuff I had was the really heavy gauge with the copper cladding. It was highly recommended but didnt work very well for me anyways.

Re: Cookware and Cutlery gear.
My parents have stainless steel pans, and they all work pretty well. You just have to be sure the pan is really hot before you put anything which might stick in there.

Re: Cookware and Cutlery gear.
I got my J A Henckels in the mail today. When I opened the box, each piece was wrapped in a cloth bag individually that you can also use to polish the stainless steel. Pretty sweet stuff.
