Product Description
Simmering, sauteing, boiling; these pieces have you covered. Enjoy the value of set pricing as you stock your kitchen with some of the best non-stick cookware around. Vacuum-pressure casting allows this line of cookware to have a thick base for even heating, thin walls for less energy loss and lighter weight, and thick rim for structural stability and lid support. This cookware won't warp and the non-stick surfaces both inside and out won't blister, peel or chip. Glass lids let you see what's going on while sealing in flavors and moisture. Casting allows the handle bases to be an integral part of the pan, making rivets unnecessary. No rivets makes the interior easier to keep clean. The phenolic handles feature an ergonomic design with a thumb rest, nice and comfy!
Amazon.com Review
Made in Germany, Berndes SignoCast thick-walled aluminum cookware is both durable and distinctive in looks. Berndes uses vacuum pressure to cast its pots and pans, which results in a much stronger product than stamped aluminum cookware. Guaranteed not to warp, SignoCast cookware also features break-resistant glass lids, ergonomic phenolic handles for comfortable lifting and stay-cool stovetop cooking, and an oven-safe temperature of 450 degrees F. Berndes was one of the first household goods companies to institute a voluntary monitoring of its impact on the environment, and today goes beyond the requirements of existing environmental protection laws. This 10-piece set will get a kitchen into cook mode in no time. Included are two small lidded saucepans, holding 1-1/4 and 2 quarts; a 7-quart covered stockpot for making generous amounts of soup or boiling corn-on-the-cob; 9-1/2-inch open skillet; 11-inch covered skillet; and 9-1/2-inch open saute pan with sides high enough for braising and simmering. Each piece is coated with the Dupont Autograph 2 Gourmet nonstick finish in a triple layer on the inside and double layer on the outside. The finish facilitates fat-free cooking, allows food to release quickly, and makes clean-up a snap. Non-metal tools and washing by hand are recommended. Believing in the high quality of its products as well as customer satisfaction, the company covers the handsome, charcoal-gray cookware set with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box

 Great deal on good quality September 29, 2008
I had been evaluating cookware sets on the internet and pricing them at the local "box" shops for almost a year. I had used a Circulon set for almost 12 years and it was really showing alot of wear.
This is very well made cookware. The clean up is increadibly easy inside and out and because the outside of the pans are also non-stick they will look good for years to come. I really like the glass lids and the fact that while the cookware is well-made the pans are not so heavy that you feel you need to two hands to move them.
A great buy on quality cookware.
A great deal! September 18, 2008
I just purchased this set through Amazon and am very pleased. They are very heavy and appear to be sturdy. Although I've only used them once, I am very happy with the quality.
My only negative comment would be the knobs are stainless steel and therefore get hot. The literature states they have Phenolic knobs (heat-resistant) and I would appreciate it if someone would let me know how they can be replaced.
I'm looking forward to years of service with this high-quality cookware set.
Very pleased with this purchase. June 12, 2008

I returned a pan set that I purchased on Amazon because the bottoms were leaving white residue. I ordered these as a replacement as a gold box item. I was heistant as there were no reviews at that time. I am glad that I made the purchase. These are very high quality pans that make cooking fun! The handles are a nice length and the lids have nice size nobs. Be sure to have a philips screw driver upon arrival as you will need to assemble the lids. They also tell you how to care for your pans and instructions upon first use that ensure longevity. I own an electrical stove and they cook very evenly on my stove! With this being the case, I am sure it would do amazing on a gas stove. Product was packaged very well and shipping was quick. I am having a very positive experience with this product!
Best pans! June 9, 2008
I absolutely love these pans. I've owned numerous sets over the years, none compare to the Berndes, not even close. They cook even, perfect for my glass top due to the flat bottoms, and clean up is amazing! Inside and out, cleaning is a breeze. My mother-in-law had one small skillet that was a Berndes, that's how I knew about them. I went on-line to find them. Actually would've paid substantially more on e-Bay. Was glad I found them on Amazon. Wonderful value, the lids are great, overall a beautiful set. No complaints at all.
 A fine product, but... June 2, 2008

We are generally very pleased with the product quality and performance however one of the pan arrived flawed. It came with a stripped screw that holds the handle to the pan. A pan with no handle is not very useful. We had difficulty reaching the company via their 800 line, leaving serveral messages that went unreturned. Finally an e-mail message was answered. A return label sent. The pan picked up, but we have yet to hear anything back from the company. We are in the third week. Problem resolved? Not yet! Berndes, are you listening?
