Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with Profesional Platinum Cook Ware? The claims they make are pretty amazing. i would like to get an unbiased opinion.
Thanks

I bought a set recently, and I can say I am impressed. I like not using all the oils to cook. We made hardboiled eggs today in just a few minutes and they didn't have the funky green on the outside of the yolk, it was pretty cool. I cooked fried chicken yesterday, and used no oil at all. It was neat. I really like my set. I can also say I like the waterless part :) I still have old stuff for cakes and stuff, but I am learning to do without them, I cooked my Thanksgiving turkey on top of the stove this year, so I am thrilled!!

Actually it is amazing cookware. It does everything they claim it does, fry foods without oil, cook veggies without water, uses 50% less energy, cooks in half the time...The company has been around for over 30 years, they have an unlimited lifetime warranty (something no other cookware company offers) and the food tastes great.

Nothing special. A lot of non-scientific mumbo-jumbo at website.

I did get a chuckle out of their claim that the covers of the pans can be used like a trivet by placing the pan on the cover which is balancing on the knob! No risk there.

Based on a quick Google search, "Professional Platinum" seems to be typical "waterless" stainless-steel cookware. No prices are given, and it's apparently sold only through cooking shows or demonstrations, which hints at pressure tactics and noncompetitive pricing. It may be perfectly usable, but I sincerely doubt that it's anything special.

Thanks I saw a video on those pans on youtube and I got curious. However I already bought a decent set of stainless pans at costco. But thanks again.

No real experience on them, but they are not that amazing based on specs.
