Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bialetti Commercial 10 Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Good value
Summary: 4 Stars
I received the Bialetti pans in the last half of April. I delayed writing this review until I had a chance to work with them. Overall, they're very nice pans that cook well. (The 2-qt pan does a beautiful job of cooking rice.) Each one has a heavy disc on the bottom for even heating. I haven't timed them, but I believe these pans heat up quicker than my old (T-Fal) pans did.
The non-stick surface is holding up well though I've been careful to use non-metal utensils. When you first wash them, the non-stick surface is somewhat rough. As the pans are used, they get smoother. The outer finish does stain as other reviewers have mentioned, but that's not a big deal to me.
The set came with glass lids which fit well. The lid handles get warm over time and the glass fogs up a bit, but you do get a glimpse of what's happening in the pan. There are no lids for the skillets, though.
There are a couple of less-impressive features:
--When I saw the pans on Amazon, the product description said they were dishwasher safe. However, the box they came in recommends hand-washing. Being dishwasher safe is what sold me on them and I'm putting them in the dishwasher anyway. I don't use a powdered cleaner so I'm not worried about the non-stick finish, but there is a decorative "metallic" piece glued on the handles that may loosen with repeated exposure. (Losing the "metallic" pieces may actually be an improvement.)
--The smallest saucepan and the smallest skillet, when empty, tip over because of the heavy, bulky handles. If you hang your pots from a rack, you may be disappointed by the large size of the handles.
If Bialetti would ask for my input, I would say: 1) Update the handles: straighten the curve out and make them less bulky. Do away with the decorative "metallic" piece. 2) Offer various pans to supplement the original set: maybe a grill pan, griddle, extra saucepans? I would buy additional pans if they were available.
