Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

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 sauté 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

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!

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.

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?
