doesnt say its stainless though
Spirit has the glass lids which are nice, but not essential.
The TruClad are MUCH heavier than the Spirit. The reason why the TruClad don't say stainless on them is because they have an aluminum core, which Henckels describes as distributing even heating. Not sure if the Spirit has the same, but they are much lighter in comparison to the TruClad+Aluminum Core.
And also, they're both Made in China.
Henckel is known for two (or even more) quality on their products, the top is very good and expensive, the lower is pretty much no different than everything else, these pots are probably the latter.
Few years ago some of their products were called Henckel International, the international part was an indication it was made in China and such (I was shopping for high quality knives), looks like they figured out the international didn't serve them right and dropped it all together.
when america's test kitchen or consumer reports review pots and pans, the differences are usually small. stuff like handle comfort and weight and balance. and they notice cooking differences that home cooks probably wouldn't.
that said, they do have favorites.
but unless you do the work to find out what those are, I don't think you should assume one random cookware set is better than another. this set could work just as well as a $135 from canadian tire or wherever.
ATK reviews single pieces more often than whole sets, and almost all their work is behind their pay wall. but just bopping around their site I see that expensive all-clad products recommended just as often as cheaper tramontina or cuisinart products.
this video helps summarize my opinion: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/vide...94&newVideo =y
if you want really good stuff, you've got to do the work and buy pieces individually. if you don't care that much, you probably won't care what set you get either. just buy on looks or feel or the lunar cycle and you'll be fine.
ps: that video references their favorite large frying pan at the very start. the 12" all-clad skillet. and their favorite saute pans are an expensive viking and a cheap cuisinart.
pps: don't spend much money on non-stick pans. they're all disposable. buy the cheapest on sale and toss when scratched up.
if you apply for a hbc credit card, you can get a further discount. mine was 20% at yorkdale. good deal!
you don't get the roaster in-store though. none that i called budged.
thanks op!
Thanks!
Don't buy any non stick from zwilling, t-fal (made in France higher end) stuff is better and cheaper.
We bought an expensive thermolon coated pan from zwilling henkels and stuff sticks now after 3 months just like the much cheaper green pan.
In the reviews that I've read online, most fingers point towards getting truclad sets as they're more even in high dissipation and not prone to separation unlike units with impact bonded bases.
