Scanpan Commercial Stockpot 8.5L
I love this pot. It heats evenly and quickly, nothing has ever burned in it, it’s not heavy. It’s my go-to for cooking in bulk or for large groups and making stock. It exceeded my expectations even though it’s just a stainless steel pot! I one day look forward to making jams and sauces in this pot too.

Name it correctly what an Impact on your cooking also your patience.
Pro: Super Healthy Pan (more than 30% of food stuck on the pan)
Con: It needs a thick layer of oil to Deep (a normal) stir-fry
You will have a healthy cooking, since 30% of food stuck on pan you will literally getting a lot healthier than other pan, try pan fried a fish, you will get the "Shape" of fish and one side of fish stuck on pan. Then add more oil to stir-fry, end up like deep frying the food, what an IMPACT way of cooking, whereas you either getting healthy food with less oil or deep frying something which you want to stir-fry.

Happy with my choice
I did not want non-stick cookware. Glad I chose Coppernox. Glass lids to see inside and silicone handles have become essential. Low to medium heat only is needed and it heats fast and evenly. Aesthetically they are pleasing to the eye. I have one saucepan, the dutch oven and the multi pasta pot. The dutch oven cooks my curries well. Food rarely sticks to my Coppernox pots but if it does it comes off quite easily after a soak in hot water for a couple of minutes. My only complaint is that the copper discolours quickly - I've read you can polish it but I don't have my pots on display to show off, they are for cooking, so it doesn't bother me TOO much.

Lower quality
I just bought steamer 28cm. It has a glass lid. Handle gets hot and you need tea towel to pick up the lid. As soon as you lift the lid it starts making crackling noises even though the lid is still in your hand. I found the base is not that heavy either considering the size of the pan. I have got some other Scanpan pans very old ones they are much better quality than this one. Handle on my old glass lids is thicker and does not get hot. Base of those old pans is much heavier. That was the reason I bought Scanpan again. Quality has definitely gone down. Then I looked on the box and it is made in China. Not happy with the quality.

Love my stainless steel cookware
I've had non-stick (Swiss Diamond) and tried copper coated pans but eventually went back to plain stainless steel because I just got tired of having to fuss over a saucepan. There's nothing quite like it for cooking and you don't have to worry about what utensils you're (or anyone else) is using or if you can put it in the dishwasher. These pans look great, cook beautifully and will give you decades of fuss free service.

Excellent steel set, don't expect non-stick
I have been cooking with a Scanpan frying pan for over a decade. Had to replace my old one when it was stolen. The new one is six years old now, bought it along with a stockpot and two sauce pans. Whole set is still in good as new condition, very durable despite a lot of use and abuse.
Many other reviews complain about the pans not being non-stick. Those people bought the wrong category of product. Steel pans can be low-stick if you properly pre-heat them with fat or oil. Don't expect them to be non stick, if you want that get a Teflon pan. ...Read more
The advantage of the steel is that it is HARD. I clean with scourers and use metal utensils, still smooth as after maybe 1,000 meals. The lids are good. I think the problems people have had from handle and lid getting hot are from using too high a flame or the wrong size burner. O ly complaint t is that the crack between the glass lid and metal rim can trap food and debris. A minor issue seeing as you can be so rough when cleaning! Learn to cook properly, without the toxic Teflon, and enjoy these fine steel pans.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I expected more
I love Scanpan. I'm even bias being Danish. I have coppernox saute pan and a smaller impact saucepan and can't fault them. Absolutely love them.
I recently purchased an impact casserole 24cm and there is literally only one use for this pot which is boiling water (however, due to heatloss from the sides you may have to wait a while).
You could heat this casserole ever so gently, slowly turning up the heat, until it is as hot as your stove will allow. If you then decided to drop a single piece of room temperature meat in the pot, expect in retu...Read more

Scanpan products
I just love my stainless steel products. Best on the market. Try their list of knives. I have about 7 of them. If you buy ensure you get the appropriate sharpener.
Also give the other equipments available a try. I have the full range.
I have had mine for years. I standby everthing.
I bought at different times.

Frying Pan is Terrible
Beautiful set of saucepans and frying pans, but what's the point if you can't use them. We returned our first frying pan because it was faulty and although the customer service was great, we still can't use our frying pan. It burns nearly every time we use it. And yes we've tried seasoning the pan and a very low heat. Only alternative is to use such a low heat that it would take hours to cook. What's the point in having in having beautiful cookware that you're afraid to use?

Very Satisfied with 10 Piece Impact Set from David Jones
Purchased from David Jones during mid-season sale. Saving was $400 which we were thrilled about. Did ALOT of research prior to purchasing including researching at Peters of Kensington.
This is a 10 piece set and feel it is excellent value for money. There is a lot of pieces but I have used steamer and saucepans and had no issues with the handles or lids bring too hot to touch.
These pots wash well in the dishwasher and they look smart.
I was warned cooking on stainless you need to use butter or oil.
Set includes:
- 26 cm fry pan
- 24 cm/4.8L casserole
- 16 cm/1.8L saucepan
- 18 cm/2.5L saucepan
- 20 cm/3.5L saucepan

Everything sticks at the bottom
I have a set of WMF pots for 18 years and they are amazing and when I saw the Scanpan wok I thought it will work just as amazing as I could not find any WMF wok where I live.
Worst decision ever, everything I cook stick at the bottom. The food always turn up looking a mess. What's more, I have to spend lots of time soaking it and cleaning it.

It is unsafe and very disappointed
I purchased mine in April 2017. All the pots, when heat up, the handles on the lid and pot are over heated. You can barely open the lids with bare hands.
I since have contacted the manufacturer. At first, I was offered a pair of free mittens to help me open lids when heated. I thought it was ridiculous and I couldn’t believe they actually offered it. I replied and rejected as I’m not the only one cooking at home. If someone else is cooking, they could be burned without the free pair of mittens.
Then they offered to a set of classic lids whic...Read more

Chef quality
Totally satisfied and in love with my Impact Scanpan set. I needed to replace my entire cookware as I have built a new home with an induction stove top. These were recommended by my sister and her hubby who are both qualified chefs. I figured if they use these and they love them, then they must be good. I know how to cook in Stainless Steele pans like these and how to clean them - it is very different to cooking and cleaning in nonstick pans. So reviews about food sticking are probably written by nonstick pan users trying to use a stainless s...Read more

The best.
I did a TONNE of research and hunting around before deciding on the Coppernox range. They are absolutely superb and just tick every box - the 5-layer base with copper & aluminium cores, the glass lids, the heat-proof handles, fairly lightweight, good for ovens & induction, 10-year guarantee - and they look brilliant!
Don't get what some others are whinging about... just don't abuse them!
Professional quality and perfectly designed. We couldn’t be happier with them.

Give it a try Scanpan Impact, Baccarat Iconix
I just replace my Anolon non stick pans after 8 years. Previously I had a scanpan non stick for 10 years. All anodised pans, expensive but long lasting. I move to stainless because the non stick coating of these pans were non longer non stick and require a lot of elbows grease for cleaning. I have done a lot research on stainless steel cooking. And the easiest way to make it non stick is to use 1/ an oil with high smoke point ( tasteless coconut oil, ghee are a good choices, 2/ chopped some onions, green onions bits you don’t want to use for ea...Read more
ting 3/ pour some oil in the pan just enough to cover the bottom and the side (you do not need a massive amount, start to cook the onion slices on medium heat (neither low nor high to smoking point), stir a few time, and wait until the pieces are starting to charred or show lot of brown patches, indicating caramelisation. remove the onions and oil, whip the hot pan with a paper towel, use a little of oil/ butter to cook ie an egg ( this is how i test the non sticking property of the stainless steel pan) The pan was never used before, brand new from the box the pan was washed prior to first use). This method creates a total non stick surface, there was no egg bits on the bottom, just a little bit on one side, when there was no onion. The secret is that the gas of the onion that makes you cry when you slice an onion bond with the steel of the pan and makes it truly non stick. Obviously you should not subject your pan to excessive heat, heat properly if you want to cook meat ( use the water test for this one) especially if you want to cook without fat. The scanpan behaves as expected with even distribution of heat. The down side is the sides are not as hot as the bottom (because scanpan Impact and Baccarat Iconix are not 3-5 ply s/s ) you need to invest into 3-5 ply stainless steel pots, which are lot dearer. the pans may be imbalance because the handles are long, again, a well balanced pan is more expensive to manufacture. Scanpan is a good compromise, stainless steel is safer and healthier for cooking, as long as you make the effort to understand this cooking style. You still may have a bit of sticking, cleaning requires vinegar and bicarbonate, a little of soaking a stainless steel scourge, no toxic products are needed. I cook French, Italian, Thai, Vietnamese for my cookind demos and my new scanpan Impact and baccarat Iconix have delivered excellent outcomes. Again it is about understanding stainless steel cooking and choose the right size pan for the purpose. If you want to stir fry choose a large base 28-32 cm because if you crowding your fresh rice noodles you end up stewing rather than stir frying. For stew I like a straight side pans with a glass cover because I can check the content, Particularly if you are cooking Butter chicken, or seafood paella. I am physically short, having handles on both side makes sense and is safer. I also like pans that can go in the oven and sustain at least 200c (another point to look up in the specs). Caution: do not plunge your hot pans in cold water, or they may warp ( which may happen in cheaper brands). If the stainless steel is of poor quality, you may have rust appearing, so it is a good idea to season your pans with oil (coconut, canola, corn, peanut) enough to coat, heat until it starts to smoke, switch off and wipe with a tissue. Use A tea towel, or thick paper when stacking your pans in the cupboards so they do not scratch, creating grooves when food particles can stick. I hope that you find these guidelines useful and that you do not give up on this style of cooking.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Be great if the base was flat!!
Disappointed with this frying pan, base is not flat "important" when you want to use it on a induction cook top.
Had interesting emails from scanpan rep, still waiting reply on my last email, so i just emailed them again!
bottom is that convexed it would make a good wok!

Very near to perfection
Have had the Clad 5 saucepans for a few years and I love them. I have 6 saucepans, 2 frypans, the large chefs pan and the steamer.
They are beautifully made, heavy but not too heavy and the handles take a lot to heat up to the point where I need a cloth to insulate my hand. They cook very well as the heat conduction is very high compared to many other saucepans and frying pans. Sometimes I think they are too heat conductive. The glass lids have a good solid knob which stays cool to the touch most of the time.
Pro: very even heat distribution, cooks well, looks fantastic.
Con: Heavy (some people will find them too heavy), Glass lids should be treated with care.

Very disappointed
I am really disappointed with this product. everything I cook sticks to the bottom of the pots and fry pan, even on low heat. I have an induction cook to and cook everything on 3. Fried eggs even stick. It takes a fair bit to get it off. The pots are just as bad. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any tips on how to alleviate this problem.

water entering seam of pot issues
Purchased this product 6 months ago. It is replacing a set of bistro pots I have had for over 30 years. Should have kept the old ones. These pots have a most annoying problem of water entering the seam at the bottom or via where the handle is attached to the pot. I cant work it out but what I do know is it occurs after washing in a sink (the old fashioned way) or in a dishwasher. I have to spend 5 minutes or more trying to get the water out of the inside of the pot. I can hear it swishing around and it is difficult to remove all of it. If I lea...Read more
ve it in there it creates another annoying problem and that is, after heating something quickly like milk for a warm cereal for example, you go to pour the milk into your bowl of cornflakes and the water from the bottom of the pot enters your bowl as well! Awful!!! So disappointing...they work great for their intended purpose but this water issue over clouds everything that might be good about them and makes me want to throw them...Similar opinion?
