Amazing cookware. Wish the handles had a metal ring or hole (to be hung from a baker's rack), but I do like the removability and clamp area for using them in ovens.
It's an interesting, but very effective / durable (ceramic glass enamel type) non-stick surface. Similar to a more robust version of Grandma's "graniteware" but obviously reformulated for superior non-stick.
And the small 8" starter pan is really good for quick eggs and potatoes, although I suggest getting the 10" or 11" scala pan (in addition to this set) to give a medium sized pan option, otherwise you have a small 8" or very 12.5" large pan.
If one adds some bamboo utensils for cooking, you're all set! I also suggest amazon's deal on Cuisinart 2/3 quart stainless steel pots to compliment this set as well, then you're induction compliant across the board too.
Absolutely the best cookware I have ever used...
not unreasonably priced considering the lifetime warranty...
& NO TEFLON® to flake off into my meals!!!
High heat destroys TEFLON®...
you really can't hurt these unless you forget to remove the handles before placing in the oven.
Handles are replaceable though, so no real worries there.
Nice even cooking, even on low heat.
Just added the 4.2 qt casserole to this set.
5 STARS +.

We recently moved into a house with an induction cooktop. Most of my cookware still worked, but I was not successful in locally finding a non-stick skillet that met my needs. Thank goodness for BergHOFF Scala Non-Stick cookware! This stuff heats quickly and evenly and cleans up more easily than anything "non-stick" I have ever used. It is without a doubt my most favorite cookware ever. Absolutely no complaints!

Poor product Poor customer service Would not buy again for half the price
Warning: First time reviewer here, but I use the reviews of products exclusively on whether or not to purchase products on amazon.com. I do not want any other users to go through the same poor customer service I did only to gain nothing.
I have purchased a set of Berghoff Scala Ceramic coated frying pans. I used the main 12" pan for about a month. As time progresses the pan started to stick. I contacted the customer service dept. that told me to deep clean the pan with baking soda and water. After it was dry add oil to the pan while slowly reheating it. I did this several times to cure my pan as suggested by the customer service rep. He assured me that it would take some time for this to work. This took place over 4 months after purchasing the set. I then got preoccupied when moving into my renovated kitchen. After dealing with my renovation I found the pan again. It was now 12 months since purchase. I had a new representative that made it sound like the guy I was speaking to previously did a poor job and was let go, which he was very rude. She stated they needed to find my files and reopen the review of my pan. She advised me to send the pan in so the warranty dept. could look at the pan. I had to pay shipping both ways but I figured they would at least get my pan back into good condition. Berghoff never called or emailed that they had my pan even though I sent a letter with the pan. After waiting a month I decided to email and see if they received the pan. The last customer service rep I had was now gone and I had a new one again. She had to find the pan again and pull up the files. After a reply from the newest customer service rep she stated that my pan was not covered under warranty. WHAT?
She explained that due to the color of the bottom of the pan I had overheated the pan and that the warranty was now void. I the dirt she cleaned on the bottom of my pan was on all our pans we had. We have a glass top range that we cool all our meals on. It does get dirty at times. I simply took a nylon scrubber to clean one of the other pans I had just to see how hard it was. I emailed back stating that her suggestion was not the case and that I wanted to speak to a supervisor. Three weeks later still no response. I called and was directed to the same person I was dealing with my emails. She said she brought the pan to her supervisor and stated that she agreed while refusing to allow me to speak to her supervisor.
The facts: Not once did I ever cook with the pan over ½ heat on my range top. I primarily cooked eggs, sausage, warmed up veggies, and cooked some fish. Mind you that I only used the pan 1 month. I hand washed it after every use. At first everything would slide out of the pan. The pan got to the point where I had to scrape it each time after use and then let it sit in soap water. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AFTER 1 MONTH OF USE!
Due to the numerous customer service representatives, poor service, and average pans I would never recommend anyone buy from this company. They did offer me a deal though, 50% off their retail of a new pan. That was almost the same price I could buy it off of amazon.com.

I'm so glad I purchased these... Very easy to put handles on, just read instruction. Pans are not too lightweight and not too heavy. They do not stick at all. I still use a BIT of oil for an egg, but a little oil is good for you!

This is the best nonstrick griddle I have purchased. You only need to heat medium to medium-high to get the best result. I use a little oil to give flavor to the food I am cooking and everything slides right off! I use it to make a lot of chicken. The pleasant surprise is that I can now make eggs over easy on medium heat sets nicely to be able to flip without breaking the egg and without overcooking it. This is the first pan I have ever been able to achieve this. Since it is such a nice size, I cook eggs and ham and other items all at the same time.
