Chantal 7-Piece Copper Fusion Cookware Set, Chili Red

 (3 customer reviews)

This cookware works marvelously; it heats up quickly and evenly, is dishwasher safe, and look great in the kitchen. Made in Germany, this Chantal cookware has a copper/steel core encased in stick resistant enamel.

The Chantal cookware comes with glass lids (oven safe to 375 degrees) which fit well and allow for easy monitoring of cooking. They sport stay-cool handles but the shape of the handle coupled by the heft of the cookware lends itself to being a bit hard on the wrist when carrying or pouring.

As an avid cook, I appreciate having a well-made product that stands-up to constant use without any decrease in effectiveness or appearance.

The enamel can get discolored but it is easily cleaned with a ceramic cleaner. I have also noticed that some of the screws in the handle can come loose after heavy use, but a twist of the screwdriver provides a quick and effective fix.

The new cookware is awesome! It Cooks very evenly and cleans easily also. I am careful to follow the care instructions such as letting it cool before putting water in it to clean so there is not a big temperature change that could crack it. Takes a little more thought than my old cookware, but I love it and want more and would definitely recommend it.

I've owned very high end (very expensive) cookware before and a friend of mine told me about Chantal. Being intrigued I sought this out at a kitchen store (surprisingly harder to find than I thought). I bought "Try me" sized frying pan to put it through my tests. Meat, eggs, vegetables, frying, sautéing, broiling, this pan held up to ALL of them and clean up was a breeze in the dishwasher! I've purchased and used far more expensive cookware and had it fail at least one of these tests! I loved this pan so much I gave all of my other cookware away and bought a full set!
This is the best cookware, period. Don't believe the hype about the stainless steel pans and get you some Chantal cookware!
