Oster 8-pc Black Aluminum Cookware Review

Customer Ratings:

This cookware was ordered for use in Baghdad, Iraq in what can best be described as primitive kitchen conditions. Since it will be left behind here, tried to locate a modestly-priced nonstick set that had all of the essential sizes with matching lids. I opted for this one because of good prior experiences with the Oster brand and the number of pieces included (dutch oven w/lid, two sauce pans w/lids, two frying pans). Free shipping from Amazon was a bonus. The set was impressive right out of the box the vessels aren't flimsy and have good weight and balance; the handles are solidly riveted with very comfortable grips that don't get hot during cooking; the glass lids are vented and fit tightly. The dutch oven is large enough to produce meals for 4-6 people and its lid also fits the large frying pan, an added plus. The set has been used rigorously for nearly a month (three-plus meals a day) and other than the usual discoloration of the pan bottoms caused by gas flames, shows no wear or flaking of the interior at all. The nonstick surface is outstanding cheese, eggs, fruit sauces and other normally difficult to dislodge foods slide out easily. Cleanup has been simple with just a sponge, soap and hot water. In this environment, that is a particularly important benefit. The total cost per piece with lid averaged $12.00, a considerable value over lower-quality products at similar prices.
