We bought our set at a home show in Orlando in 1984. I believe we paid about $1000 for it. It was a lot of money at the time, but we looked at it as a lifetime investment an so far that's proven to be the case. Amazing cookware to say the least!

I purchased this set right out of high-school. It was approximately $500 and included a set of knives in a wooden holder (which I still use today) and a set of flatware (all have been lost). This was back in 1959. I was cooking Sunday dinner and thought about how long I have had these pans. I never did master the waterless cooking but the pans are wonderful. The only thing that ever happened to them was a dent in one of the lids, and one knob replacement. I also lost both cookie sheets. Those $500 were very expensive at the time, but they've have proved to have been a very worthwhile investment. Thanks for making such a great product. It will definitely outlast me.

I never really gave it much thought to look up information about Kitchen Craft, since I bought this product when I was 16 years of age (1976). I thought there is no way the company would still be in business. I still have the cookware and have used it during my 27 years of marriage. All the pots, pans and lids honestly still look new, clean up easily and cook fantastically. I have over the years bought other cookware just because of the color or what not! They have never lasted. I am on a quest to find a skillet to complete my set. I lost it over the years of moving around. I am thrilled to know it is possible to complete my set once again. I am so glad that, at a very young age, I started my hope chest� with such a pure and honest product.

We purchased our cookware set about 4 years ago, and I wished we had purchased 10 years earlier! That is how long we kept looking at Kitchencraft at every type of annual fair or craft event! We often sat up front and listened and enjoyed the demos and always thought it would be a nice set for our home. Every few years the price would adjust and we would always say, I wish we bought it earlier when it was at the other price. Well we finally purchased and have loved it from day 1. It's absolutely the best cookware we will ever own. Thinking about all those other brands of cookware we bought over those 10 years, would could have easily invested in 2 sets of Kitchencraft. I encourage anyone who visits the demos and wish they had a set, do yourself a favor and buy! Even if you only get 1 pot, you won't regret it, and you will never look at any other brand of cookware again!

I purchased a complete set of Kitchen Craft pots and pans in 1948. My husband and I have been married for over 60 years and I am still using this cookware every day. They are wonderful and I will probably pass them on to my grandchildren or great-grandchildren some day. They were one of the best investments I ever could have made, other than my husband. Thank you for making a superior product.
Joanne O. (store manager) –
My husband insisted we get a set of Kitchen Craft after joining in on a demonstration at the State Fair. I was reluctant to spend that much money at this stage of our lives (we're close to 70), but I love it and am so proud of it. Then on January 1, my husband had to have a stent put in one of his arteries this was sort of out of the blue and he is now learning as much as he can about eating healthy. Thank goodness I have the right cookware! Thanks so much.

I purchased my Kitchen Craft pots, pans and bakeware almost 50 years ago from a door-to-door salesman. I use them almost on a daily basis and they still look like new. Food cooks evenly and they are an easy cleanup.
Everything M. (store manager) –
Our new cookware is everything it was said to be and more. We are enjoying the learning process and find the info included very helpful. We are amazed how easy it is to prepare the most difficult of foods and love the stackable cooking. This is by far one of the best investments we have made. We look forward to many years of healthy and enjoyable cooking. Also the counter weight lids are truly a blessing when the pots and pans are hung on the wall. We just keep discovering more fun and joy with our new cookware. Thank you and blessings.
Brenda Z. (store manager) –
Our very first Kitchen Craft show was very entertaining and fun. I learned a lot about the nutritious food, and the best way to a healthy lifestyle. The best choice that my husband and I made was choosing to purchase the cookware. I was so excited to get this cookware home and to cook my first tasty meal. That was the best decision we could have ever made. The food is like no other! I am so glad that we didn't walk away from this show without this product. Brett and Lena, it shows just how much you care about this product and to promote this with such enthusiasm and honesty, what you told us about this product is so true. Ivan and I are so hooked we want the entire cookware. This was a great investment! I was so happy when Brett said this cookware is made in the USA! God bless you!

I saw my first demo in the mid 60's when my parents went to a relative's house for a free dinner. My parents could not afford the pots at the time but we had a good time and I never forgot watching the pots cook on top of each other. Well approximately 40 years later I met Cindy and Sandy at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans and purchased the Basic Set. I had seen the demo here before, but it just so happened that my husband had recently had a double lung transplant which necessitated me to learn a new way to cook without salt, oil or sugar since his medications have side effects. He is a diabetic as a result. When he first came home, our pots had just arrived. For the next two weeks, he should have had 56 insulin doses but he only needed and received 21. For the past week, he has had no insulin and is running at levels of 80 to 108! I have been cooking for him for 32 years and he is not eating any less or anything different. Just cooking differently with our new Kitchen Craft Cookware and this is wonderful. Special thanks to Cindy and Sandy. They may not know the medical benefits from this product. But it can be a life saver. Good luck girls and GOD Bless You.

I have owned the basic set of Lustre Craft pots since the early 1970s. I have never owned another set of pots since and they are as nice today as they were when I bought them. I plan on handing them down to my daughter some day. Thank you for the best pots ever!
Norm C. (store manager) –
Back in 1969 when my wife was in High school graduating she purchased a set of cookware from (Lustre Kraft) back then we used them until the mid-80s, then when Teflon came out she switched . So l put the set away till the mid-90s when she got tired of buying pots and pans. Then we met David Monge at the OC Fair in Ca. He put the fire back under us to use the cook ware and showed her how to cook with LOW heat. A year or so later we upgraded our set to the newer style of cookware. I didn't get rid of the old set, I put them in the trailer, so now we have two great sets of pots and pans to use. When we would go to the shows and I would see something I would like I would get one for home and one for the trailer. So I think for the last 48 years I still love this cookware. PS I like that they work great on Induction cook tops.

I purchased a set of Kitchen Craft cook ware in 1973. I still use it! The BEST cook ware on the market!
Eleanor O. (store manager) –
I have used it for 30 years. My son, a chef, tried mine and loved it! Now he has his very own set.
Nancy V. (store manager) –
I purchased my complete set of Kitchen Craft when I was just out of high school. My friends are amazed when I tell them how long I have used the cookware, especially since it is still in such good condition. Recently I contacted Kitchen Craft about a couple of my pans that had warped on the bottom. I was contacted immediately and given instructions to send the items back for either repair or replacement. Today, 3 1/2 weeks later, I received brand new replacements with lids. I am so glad I had the foresight to buy this cookware so many years ago.
Richard I. (store manager) –
It has been great to use for cooking for our family of 7 for 45 years. It has served us well and it's wonderful not to use grease or water.
Ethel A. (store manager) –
I bought a set of this cookware in 1955 when your demonstration came to my home and cooked a meal for 20 people. I bought the set of cookware for $350.00 and paid for them at $15.00 per month until they were paid for. I remarried and gave the set to my granddaughter who loves cooking in them. Last year, while at a show in Yuma, AZ I happened to come upon a booth that was demonstrating the same cook set. I was so happy that they were still manufacturing Kitchen Craft products, so I brought me another set! They make the best food without water you can eat. I'm 81 years old and not many [more] years to live, but I just had to purchase another set of this cookware that I was sorry I gave away to my granddaughter. I'm so thankful I went to that show and found a dealer. Thanks again!
Olivia C. (store manager) –
My mother bought Kitchen Craft cookware 35 years ago. Sales men went door to door and even cooked a meal to demonstrate the efficient way this cookware is. To this day my mother still uses and has this set in its entirety which is I think more than 15 pieces all have been cared for and are in mint condition considering they have been in use for the past 35 years!
Mary O. (store manager) –
About 10-12 years ago my husband and I purchased a basic set of Kitchen Craft cookware. At the same time we also purchased an amazing vegetable/cheese slicer/grater, which I use at least three times a week! The cookware is still beautiful and looks as if I just purchased the pans, even the bottoms look like new!! I love the way chicken is released automatically when browning it in the fry pan. We liked the set so much that two years ago we added another piece to our set, a slow cooker. I love the way the pot is separate from the heater. I can use that pot for other cooking also. One last advantage of the Kitchen Craft cookware is that I can use the pans on my induction stovetop! None of my old pans will work! I highly recommend this company's products!!!

I would love to do a commercial! Dad made me buy your product at age 16 to establish credit. Was I mad! I still have your product and am 53 years old.
Myrtle L. (store manager) –
I purchased my first set of the Kitchen Craft Cookware in 1971 (I was 16 and it was my first major purchase, around $400.00 for the basic set). In 1990 I was invited to a demo in the home of a friend with the promise of a free dinner. The dinner was amazing and I left there with the complete set including the bake ware, electric oil core skillet, kitchen kutter, roasting pan, slow cooker, indoor smokeless grill, square and round griddle and wok. I have every size pot and skillet imaginable. Let me just say that purchase made 26 years ago was the best purchase I have ever made, the cook ware cost me approximately $4000. My original set I gave to my daughter, and she still uses it today. I attended a local Home Show over the weekend and watched Cindy give the Kitchen Craft Cookware demo, I really needed a refresher course. I had forgotten about the stack cooking (how could I forget), I forgot what a wonderful tool the kitchen kutter is. Cindy suggested leaving it on the counter, so it would be handy, I set it out as soon as I got home. To think of the money I wasted on all those gadgets for cutting veggies and I had the right tool all these years, THANK YOU CINDY!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cookware!!!! I have used this cookware every day since I purchased it. I am a seamstress so I don't have a lot of time in the kitchen, so I make every minute count and with quick cooking and easy clean up, this cookware fits the bill, and the fact that it is made in the USA is an A-PLUS for me. Thank you Kitchen Craft keep up the good work.

It was very interesting to read of Kitchen Craft Cookware's expansion as I have a set from 1940 when it was introduced at house parties. My husband bought a set for me as a surprise, I almost took his head off as we were newlyweds on a tight budget. We paid for it in installments, which was hard to do at that time. It was a wise buy (as he kept reminding me) as I still am using it daily and no doubt will pass it on to a grandchild when I'm gone. It has outlasted my husband of 60 years. I think of him each time I use a pan.
Barbara A. (store manager) –
We love our Kitcgen Craft cookware! We love the healthier way of time saving cooking with these amazing, easy to clean products. The initial outlay seemed pricey to us when we were a young family… but we’ve taken advantage of the extraordinary offers this season and purchased a set for our RV and a second set for our daughter (who is the real cook in the family)! This cookware is undeniably durable and keeps us on track with healthy meals! Thank you, Kitchen Craft!
Cathy O. (store manager) –
This was the best purchase I made in high school ther are 50 years and still cooking I love love them.
Frances A. (store manager) –
Even thought the skillet size says 10” the actual cooking size is smaller than that.
Polly C. (store manager) –
We love our new cookware!!
Quality and use is great. Highly recommend it to anyone!!
Cindy L. (store manager) –
I bought this product because it is American made
Dan H. (store manager) –
The cookware is great and it cleans up so easy love it
I’m trying to order a wok but not having any luck with the site I can review it but it cannot place an order
Bill S. (store manager) –
I love the way it cooks! Browns ground meat perfectly. I’ve had no problems with sticking and it cleans easily. The slow cooker does a much better job than my crockpot. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Shannon C. (store manager) –
Love the ease of cooking, clean up, and health advantages.
Silke P. (store manager) –
We are so glad to have made the decision to purchase this cookware. Cooking veggies with no water, like the chef at the demonstration, leaves them tasting so much better. The consistency of cooking temperature in the cookware produces a much more evenly cooked meal. Cleanup is a snap, which makes reset time in the kitchen very short.
Debbie P. (store manager) –
I love it. Just takes time to adjust to different type cooking
Debi T. (store manager) –
It's become a true pleasure to cook now. Who knew pots and pans would make such a difference.
Quicker, easier and tastier!
Joan A. (store manager) –
Food stuck to the pan. Hard to clean. I returned the cookware
Allan W. (store manager) –
Everything its supposed to be
Sherry B. (store manager) –
we are enjoying our new cookware, I do have questions though
Dr. J. (store manager) –
Learning how to cook waterless..takes some getting used to. But worth it. However, as much as we love the new set-we are disappointed that using our stainless utility set
leaves scratch marks in the bottom of the fry pans.
mike s. (store manager) –
My wife purchased a "saladmaster" cookware set (manufactured in Dalllas TX as per stamps on the cookware) in the early 70s from a "traveling salesman" while working on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico.
This is vy good quality cookware. Not one piece has broken or failed since purchased in about 50 years!
Take the long view. Buy high quality stuff like this that will be more expensive for sure, but will last a lifetime, and perhaps beyond! Just my take.
Mike
Wayne P. (store manager) –
never lived up to what was told
Tom T. (store manager) –
Love the cookware. Vegetables are awesome.
Patricia C. (store manager) –
Stuck not quite used to it. Little intimidating.
I forgot how to use the cutter and that was the item I was most excited about. Is there a video I can watch? Thank you
David S. (store manager) –
My wife and I purchased the classic set which ran us just over $2,000. We saw the demonstration and purchased on 5-2-21 at the Asheville Home and Remodel Expo.
We received the cookware within a week and started to use immediately, we were excited to try them out.
They have been nothing but a huge disappointment, we absolutely hate this cookware!! It is nothing close to what the salesman promised it was. We feel that we were scammed. We really wanted to love it too.
I've tried to cook egg whites several times and half the egg sticks to the pan. I've tried it with coconut oil, olive oil, butter, and canola oil.
I've cooked them on medium, medium low, and low. It does not matter what temperature or oil you use, they stick and I lose a good portion of my egg. It takes twice as long now to cook the eggs. This is totally unacceptable. So if I were to continue using this cookware, which I won't be, I would have to double my egg white amount in the pan to get the amount of cooked eggs that I actually want.
Now, for the clean up!! The salesman said to immerse in water and soap (we use Dawn) immediately and allow to soak while you eat and clean up is super easy. Wrong!!!
When I go to clean after eating and it has soaked, I can scrape some off with a plastic spatula, then I scrub with Dawn and a scrub brush, rinse and there is still egg stuck to the pan, scrub again with the brush and Dawn, rinse, still egg stuck to the pan, repeat again and dry. After it's dry there are still stains in the pan and now I have to use Bar Keepers Friend and the scour side of the sponge and scrub to get it to actually look clean. This is waaay too much work!
Broccoli is a staple vegetable for us. The broccoli is burned every time, so we can't even eat it. So, we would rather just use our old pots to steam it, and get nutrients that way, rather than not eat it at all, because of it being burned. Waterless is supposed to retain the nutrients, per the salesman. What good is it if its burnt and thrown out each time we make it?
The broccoli is burning on level 2-3 of 10 being the highest on my electric stove. Followed instructions. I fill the pot with broccoli and water, drain the water with the exception of what's on the broccoli per instructions and leave a tablespoons worth in even though this claims to be "waterless" cookware. Set my stove temp between 2-3, the lid never flutters or am able to spin it, next thing I smell is burning broccoli. This cookware is ruining our food and wasting our money.
The pot is difficult to clean even after cooking vegetables. The only way I can get it clean is by using Bar Keepers Friend and scrubbing it.
I've cooked asparagus, followed time table in the instructions, it was way overcooked and stained the pot. More BKF to scrub and clean it.
I cooked a filet. It took forever and still was not cooked well enough to eat. I had to put it in the oven to finish it off. The pan again was a chore to clean. My next filet I cooked was on the BBQ, it took half the time and was cooked perfectly.
We have called representatives to discuss our dissatisfaction and request to return,, they just give us cooking tips, which none have been consistent with each other. We have tried all their tips with the same negative results. We are 100% dissatisfied with this cookware set.
We are at our wits end with this cookware and want to return it for a refund. There shouldn't have to be this much of a learning curve to using this cookware. I've been cooking close to 47 years and love to cook, this set has been my biggest nightmare in the kitchen. We are back to using our original old cookware. Thank God we saved it as we were planning on donating it.
A company that praises their cookware so highly should back it with a 100% satisfaction return policy. The salesman doesn't tell you anything about a return policy, only the product itself has a lifetime warranty.
Attached are a few pictures, only 10 max allowed
Betty S. (store manager) –
I usually end up burning the vegetables. The top has never started spinning.
Dwight B. (store manager) –
Love the cookware, ordering is a bit of a pain. Waiter WAY longer than Chef Charlie said. After almost 3 Weeks, we were asked to pay for our order again!
Frederick E. (store manager) –
love the product
William M. (store manager) –
I inherited some waterless cookware from my mother. This purchase got me a more complete set. Good stuff.
David C. (store manager) –
The pots and pans are heavy duty.
I have enjoyed using them compared to the ones I had.
However, they are not non stick. They are super hard to clean.
I was led to believe that they would be easy to clean and care for.
Martha B. (store manager) –
I love this cookware. My food tastes amazing and it is so easy to clean as well.
Janet L. (store manager) –
Wasn’t told/didn’t know salting food would be so tedious, and dealing with customer service was quite frustrating, due to their lack of product knowledge.
Karen W. (store manager) –
I purchased the larger set about 5 years ago. We purchased my fathers home so I needed some decent pans at our second house. These pans cannot be beat! Love them!!
Tracy S. (store manager) –
Awesome cookware
Sreemathi M. (store manager) –
Good to steam the vegitables
FORREST L. (store manager) –
The cookware is AWESOME. And I particularly like how easy it is to clean up. Our only problem now is what to do with our old cookware.
James B. (store manager) –
Works great
Caroline B. (store manager) –
I bought my cookware set 42 years ago, I use them everyday and they still are in excellent shape! I love them!
Alicia M. (store manager) –

Bill C. (store manager) –
Unbelievable the difference in the taste of the food using the cook ware
Gladys M. (store manager) –
Love my new set. So far is everything I was promised to be. Look forward to enjoying many years of amazing waterless cooking.
Dennis K. (store manager) –
Quality product. Have not used every item yet but the ones we have worked well.
Margaret C. (store manager) –
Haven’t used all of the pieces yet. They cook well, but are a little difficult to clean and are also very heavy if you need to lift a full pot with one hand.
Nancy G. (store manager) –
I haven't had the opportunity to use all my pot and pans. But what I have cooked with I really see a difference in the quality and the way my food cooks. I wish I could have afforded these pot and pans 30 years ago.
