joseeng 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2010 its expensive right? nt sure what the fuss about the pots are.... just metal pots. haha. used mine already cos its a gift from my ID. haha. Actually there are 2 different classes of products. 1 is made in Germany and the other is made in China, obviously you should know which is the more expensive range. Heard those pots made in China do get rusty over time even though they are made with stainless steel, so wondering anyone has any experiences to share?

charemme 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2010 actually I bought tat range of china made pots and its ongoing promo... so its cheaper than getting Zebra , so thats why im buying. so far cooking wise no prob.. but i think its better to dry it completely after washing... im having some watermarks stain (seems like it) Rondy had complained his has got brownish stain already. But i know they do sell the solution for cleaning off the stains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been using WMF kitchen ware for quite a few years now. I usually buy them at Taka when there is a special promo, so I'm sure they are made in China stuff. Honestly, I find their quality very good and reliable. It does not tarnish so easily. Of course, it is also how you maintain it, so it can last a long time.

Of course, it is also how you maintain it, so it can last a long time. So did u actually buy the solution to "polish" it? I find it better than what my mom is using, those cheapo pots.. after yrs of using the screw gotten loose and its pretty scary to me. Compare to the germany made pots, i prefer the weight of the china made actually cuz its much lighter. I cant imagine the heavy pot filled with soup.. hey Jose, Im not using their frying pan, but my friend does.. n gotten bad feedback.. cuz the meat/egg really stick to the base. for frying pan, im using tefal.. all time fave Edited January 5, 2010 by charemme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to share also that the online video cooking school Rouxbe site is a paid site but it runs a free cooking module on a daily basis and if you catch it on the right day, there's one on how to test if the pan is hot enough.... using water droplets, quite entertaining and educational. PS. of course, non-stick is always more convenient for cooking eggs especially. Edited January 5, 2010 by atlantis2267 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
