As my cookware is now 53 years old, I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed using it and that it is in very good shape for its age. Also have the Knife set that came with it and it's still in good shape, except for one piece missing. Thank you for such a good product! Beatrice, Stanwood, MI |

I absolutely love my cookware. We received it via UPS on September 4th. I immediately unpacked it, washed it, and then prepared dinner within 30 minutes. I cooked frozen chicken breasts w/rosemary & garlic seasoning, whole white potatoes (using the Liquid Core Electric Skillet), vegetable medley and portabello mushrooms. The food was remarkable. I could not believe that we could actually taste each vegetable in its own flavor considering they were all cooked together. I am so excited to have this product and I look forward to cooking healthy from now on. I purchased my set at the Maryland State Fair. Our chef (I can't recall his name - sorry!) was wonderful!

When I first met and married my husband, he had already purchased a set of Kitchen Craft Cookware - the Basic Set, plus the Kitchen Kutter, Electric Skillet, and Gourmet Slo-Cooker. I, at the time, was a devout fan of the (glassware) line of cookware. Since my husband cannot so much as boil an egg, I figured he had NO CLUE about cookware and had probably thought whatever lady sold him the stuff (in Arizona) was cute and bought the set to impress her. Flash forward - nearly 8 years went by and we found ourselves at a fair where there was a demonstration. Hubby told your representative the story about how the cookware is sitting in boxes in the basement (I'd actually requested that he give them to charity, but he'd refused). She invited us to "see her show" starting in just a few minutes. I politely smiled and nodded "sure" - then told hubby "let's go out the back way, she'll never notice we're gone." He said, "NO, you need to see why I won't get rid of those dishes!" Well, I sat through her presentation, tried the food, and was completely bowled over. I bought several more pieces for the set, have used the Kitchen Craft ever since - and have since donated that (glassware) to charity! To think, I had the BEST stuff sitting in boxes for 8 years!! Thanks for an awesome product! Lisa, Gaithersburg, MD |

Many thanks to you and your company for sending me out the Slo-Cooker base. When I got it and opened it up I was so glad. I'm going to use it today to make a stew. I have been using my cookware and I wish that I had started using it when I first got it. I am so amazed with the end product, the food tastes so good!!! I know that the original cost is expensive but it is so worth it cuz I'm cooking more at home and going out less. I'm telling everyone about your cookware I just love it. I gave all my old pots and pans to my daughter. Thank you again for all your help. You have sold me for life. I can't wait 'til I can go to the cooking class that one of your distributors are doing here soon. Thank you ever so much I will help spread the word about your cookware. I am forever a loyal customer! Lynne, |

I bought a set of this cookware in 1955 when your demonstration came to my home and cooked a meal for 20 people. I bought the set of cookware for $350.00 and paid for them at $15.00 per month until they were paid for. I remarried and gave the set to my granddaughter who loves cooking in them. Last year while at a show in Yuma, AZ I happened to come upon a booth that was demostrating the same cook set, so I was so happy that they were still manufacturing Kitchen Craft products, so I brought me another set! They make the best food without water you can eat. I'm 81 yrs old and not many years to live, but I just had to puchase another set of this cookware that I was sorry I gave away to my granddaughter. I'm so thankful I went to that show and found a dealer. Thanks again! Ethel, Prescott, AZ |

My husband hates chicken. But after tasting it prepared in the Electric Skillet during a demonstration, I am now the VERY HAPPY OWNER of my own set! Now he wants chicken all the time! Francie, Indianapolis, IN |

We purchased this cookware at the Tennessee State Fair. We absolutely love it!! It makes meal time easier, faster, and more healthy. It would be hard to do without the 4 quart cooker. Thanks for such quality cookware. Joyce, Dresden, TN |

I purchased my complete set of Kitchen Craft when I was just out of high school. My friends are amazed when I tell them how long I have used the cookware, especially since it is still in such good condition. Recently I contacted Kitchencraft about a couple of my pans that had warped on the bottom. I was contacted immediately and given instructions to send the items back for either repair or replacement. Today, 3 1/2 weeks later, I received brand new replacements with lids. I am so glad I had the foresight to buy this cookware so many years ago. Nancy, Dublin, VA |

I am writing to tell you, about my Kitchen Craft Cookware that I purchased in 1956, it came with a silverware set and cutlery set. I am still using my Kitchen Craft Roaster every holiday, I also use my large 4 quart pan and small Dutch oven daily. I would like to tell you a story... Twenty some years ago, I put a chicken in my small dutch oven, turned it on high to start it boiling, and I was going to come back to turn the heat down. I had left the house for an appointment with my daughter. On the way back we passed the fire house and the trucks were gone on a call. I turned to my daughter and said, "The fire engines are at our house. I forgot to turn the heat down." And sure enough when we turned on our street we saw the fire trucks at our house. I knew what had happened, the house was full of smoke and I saw sitting in my backyard the burned dutch oven with a piece of charred chicken left in the bottom of it that the fireman had thrown out the door. The dutch oven was pitch black. I am thankful it was my Kitchen Craft dutch oven because any other pan wouldn't have withstood the heat and my house would have started on fire. A few days later I went and picked up the dutch oven from the backyard and proceeded to clean it. I scrubbed and soaked it. Then I scrubbed some more and today I am still using that same pan!

When I was a Senior in high school several of us girls bought sets of Kitchen Craft cookware from a young man trying to put himself through college. Of course it didn't hurt that the young man was very handsome and had a good personality. He sold several sets to us girls and it's been the topic of discussion at several of our class reunions. My set of cookware included a set of stainless steel mixing bowls and 8" square and round baking pans and pie pans. All was stored in my "hope" chest until I was married in Dec 1969. I have used the cookware every day (37 years) and have never had a problem with any breakage and I've been so very, very pleased with the results of my cooking adventures. OH YES! There have been several times food has been burned onto the bottoms of some of these pans however using a little elbow grease, some stainless steel cleaner and a Scotchbrite cleaning pad they clean up as good as new. I am pleased to see this company is still in business after all these years but it doesn't surprise me because your company makes a really great product. Rhonda, Paoli, IN |

We moved to Washington State & built our house. We lived in an attic for a month & I cooked everything we ate in the Gourmet Cooker. We moved into the house, still no stove so I continue to cook with the Gourmet Cooker. I have made burritos, soups, stews, meat loaf, applesauce, a gratin potatoes, just about anything you can think of. I get help from frozen foods & add sauces to make them tastier. I LOVE the Gourmet Cooker, it is a wonderful product! Rebecca, Yelm, WA |

I originally purchased the full set of Kitchen Craft soon after graduation from high school. At that time salesmen where going to your home. I kept the boxes under my bed at my parents home for a while, until I moved to my own apartment. I began using them daily and have used them since. Last month I sent back two pans that had lost their handles. Your company replaced these 50 year old pans with new ones! I can't tell you how happy I am to have made such a wise decision when I was so young. I would recommend your product to anyone. I now live with my sister, who does most of the cooking. We have the large skillet that she loves. It has become warped over the years; however she refuses to part with it long enough to mail it to you for replacement. That is how happy she still is with it regardless of the condition of the outside bottom! Again--I am very satisfied with the pans and highly recommend that cooks everywhere take advantage of this superior product & warranty! Barbara, Lincoln, CA |

We are very proud of our stainless steel West Bend cookware. Having worked in the food industry since the end of WWII, it is a delight to own such a high quality stainless steel system that is made here in the USA. Phil, Tucscon, AZ |

Hello — I want to thank you for the marvelous job you did on my Kitchen Craft pots. I’ve used them for 42 plus years and rely on them as they always cook food quite fine. I never expected to get them fixed and it was by chance that I saw the waterless cookware display at the fair, asked the people and got your address. You sure made my day! Thanks’ for fixing them. Ruth, Freedom, PA |

My oven has been out of order for two weeks now....I'm SOOOOOOOO glad to have my Kitchen Craft cookware as I can do so much with it....made the pineapple upside down cake since I haven't baked any goodies lately and MAN--It is good! Sally, Salem, OR |

My set is 30 years old, and it still cooks amazingly. I am in need of replacing the handles and the lid tops. After 30 years, they are just in need. I have considered replacing my set for a shinny one that is meant to cook as well as mine. However, I realized mine has mellowed in its shine because of all of the years Our Family has cooked and scrubbed these pots. I happened to look at family photos recently, and through all of these years the kitchen photos have our same pots and pans. Our youngest daughter grew up to be a phenomenal Chef, her early years are with these pots and pans. Replacing them would be like letting go of a family member for a new one. We couldn't have that now could we? Alice, Ventura, CA |

Our cookware is 30 years old and the best INVESTMENT my wife ever made. Great product! A+A+A+! John, Paragould, AR |

My son and I attended a show at a festival in November of 2004. I don't know who was more excited when we received the cookware my son or me. We both love to cook with it. It was a very good investment. Cooking entire meals is quick and easy with this cookware. Did I mention that my son is 13? Mary, White City, FL |

We bought our set 40 years ago. Once you've had the best nothing else compares! Nancy, Glendale, AZ |

My husband and I went to a demonstration at a friend's house and we ended up having a demostration at our house. We really loved the cookware. We use it all the time. We have the Electric Skillet and it is wonderful. We have been using the cookware for 29 years. Esther, Crossville, TN |
|
I am so glad that I found your website. A hopechest dealer came to my door more than 30 years ago and made me an offer I could not refuse. Being 18 and engaged to be married, I thought it would be a great investment to purchase your cookware. I cannot remember what I paid for it, but I remenber making monthly payments. As a young girl, it was a large purchase for me, I was just a waitress in a small restaurant in Negaunee, MI. But today, I'm 48, still married, and still using your cookware, I feel it was all worth it. Mary, Cathedral City, CA |

I haven't received my set yet; however, I am excited about it because I've debated between buying yours and a competitor's for almost 10 years. I just couldn't make up my mind. Each State Fair and each Strawberry Festival would leave me undecided and confused UNTIL yesterday when Virgil Tanner's humor and sincere urging to BUY AMERICAN made the deepest impression on me. (Buying American is extremely important to me because my daddy gave his life as an American soldier fighting in Vietnam. I will pay more to buy American every time.) I had almost bought at your competitor's show, but left when the chef there began bickering with the lady in front of me about what she was, or rather was NOT buying and made some prejudiced and anti-Semitic remarks, which I found offensive. Somehow, I couldn't see Virgil, or Lorin, or Damon, who was kind enough to help me with my order and found out answers to all my questions, doing that. There was no high pressure, no pushiness, no insincerity, no rudeness, nothing that could ever be a discredit to your company's name displayed at any time by the three people I saw at the Kitchen Craft display. I am truly excited about what I bought and when I wrote on my order that Virgil was the "clincher" for my purchase, he truly was. Please commend him for that. I hope that the supervisor for the three people I mentioned here will give them the kudos that they so richly deserve for being outstanding representatives of your company, especially Virgil Tanner. Once again, thank you for the quality of your products but especially the quality and INTEGRITY of your personnel. Thea, Brandon, FL |

I love my cookware. I've had it almost 2 years now and still feel so blessed to have such wonderful cookware. Thank you! Sarah, Mystic, CT |

Just wanted to say I have used this cookware since 1959 and it still looks and works like new. I got new handles this year and people think I just bought the cookware. Thanks for such a great product. Judy, Alamo, TX |

I saw my first demo in the mid 60's when my parents went to a relative’s house for a free dinner. My parents could not afford the pots at the time but we had a good time and I never forgot watching the pots cook on top of each other. Well approximately 40 years later I met Cindy and Sandy at the Moreal Convention Center in New Orleans and purchased the Basic Set. I had seen the demo here before, but it just so happened that my husband had recently had a double lung transplant which necessitated me to learn a new way to cook without salt, oil or sugar since his medications have side effects. He is a diabetic as a result. When he first came home, our pots had just arrived. He laughed at first saying, "how much was this?" He still doesn't know and is constantly told "Dont ask!" ??At first, after surgery in the hospital with healthy food, he was getting 5 insulin shots a day to control his glucose. Then, when we started cooking in our new pots with no water, no oil, and no salt, we had to start every morning giving him sugared juice to bring up his glucose level as it was too low. Then, we made a trip for a routine check-up and explained that since we were really watching his diet, with no salt, no oil, and watching sugars, we were having to give him sugared juice regularly to keep his level up so they lowered his amount of insulins. They reviewed his levels and said if his level is below 110, we should not give him the insulin. For the next two weeks, he should have had 56 insulin doses but he only needed and received 21. For the past week, he has had no insulin and is running at levels of 80 to 108! I have been cooking for him for 32 years and he is not eating any less or anything different. Just cooking differently with our new Kitchen Craft Cookware and this is wonderful. ??Just a little quickie. He loves sweet slaw. I use the Kitchen Kutter and grate 1/4 head of cabbage, and then grate one whole carrot, add a 1/2 cup of raisins and some plain yogurt with a sugar substitute and chill and he OINKS out. Special thanks to Cindy and Sandy. They may not know the medical benefits from this product. But it can be a life saver. Good luck girls and GOD Bless You. Joan, Hammond, LA |

I have always loved vegetables, but I was truly amazed at the true taste they had after being cooked in my Kitchen Craft cookware. Between the cooked veggies and the "Demonstration Salad" featured at the state fair I attended in Maryland, I lost 15 pounds with no effort. When I returned to the fair the next year, Betty Hahn remembered me from selling me the set the previous year. The great customer service and the last-a-lifetime products have me still, years later, spreading the word to all of my friends about West Bend. Thank you for helping my family stay healthy in a most delicious way! Laura, Honolulu, HI |

I have my grandmother's set which I believed she purchased in the late 50's. My mom and my maternal grandmother swore by this cookware and the number of meals prepared were countless. This cookware went through tornadoes (which completly devasted my grandmother's home) and 2 hurricanes which I lost my home to. But the cookware was always salvaged and is still in use. Every Sunday morning before church there are pounds of bacon and sausage that were cooked in the skillet both electric and on the range. Also 5 pounds of potatoes were shredded using the Kitchen Kutter and fried. This has been a tradition for many of a year. Every year the whole family gets together for a 4-day family reunion and these big breakfasts are still a big hit. Grandma would be so proud of us still cooking together and gathering for our meals with a lot of laughter and love. Yes your cookware helps us to cook healthier and that is great. But I think that the endurance of this cookware is something that can't be beat. I know when I bought my new set my husband said he knew that I really didn't need it since my grandma's cookware looks just as shiny and new as my new set but my daughter is 11 and I thought that this new set will be something that she will have forever and can pass down to her daughter or son some day. I love your products and would recommend this set of cookware and bake ware to all. Thanks for such a wonderful product. Vicki, Pillager, MN |

Our new cookware is everything it was said to be and more. We are enjoying the learning process and find the info included very helpful. We are amazed how easy it is to prepare the most difficult of foods and love the stackable cooking. This is by far one of the best investments we have made. We look forward to many years of healthy and enjoyable cooking. Also the counter weight lids are truly a blessing when the pots and pans are hung on the wall. We just keep discovering more fun and joy with our new cookware. Thank you and blessings. Sheila, Spokane, WA |

The cookware is wonderful. I had given up cooking when I saw the demonstration at the Knoxville Convention Center. I was visiting a friend in Townsend, TN. She had told me about her cookware and how much she loved it. We planned a trip to coincide with the Home and Garden show in Knoxville. I have cooked everyday since I received my cookware. I was tired of the same old recipes that I grew up on. Since cooking with this cookware mine and my husband's appetite has returned for this delicious food.?Although I am still learning how to convert recipes for diabetics to this cookware, I am having fun learning.?Thanks so much for your wonderful cookware. It is an investment I should have done many years ago. Kay, Southaven, MS |

I complement you on your warranty it is truly amazing in this day of throw away items. We received a set of Kitchen Craft Cookware as a wedding gift from my father-in-law who purchased 4 sets for his 4 daughters at the time! He had purchased a set for his wife years earlier. I just received a replacement pan, after 34 years of constant use. I see you have made vast improvements in the design. You have gone from a 3-ply stainless to 7 ply stainless and introduced a new style waterless cooking top. Amazing! My suggestion is to go through your list of orginal owners and offer them an upgrade set. I know I would certainly take advantage of this offer. Howard, Atkinson, NH |

I am more thrilled than I can say to have received my cookware from Kitchen Craft. I live near West Bend, WI and am pleased to be able to support a local company, especially with the amount of out-sourcing of many businesses these days. My mother had a set of these when I was just a girl and I can remember a representative cooking at our house. Owning a set has been a life-long dream, which only someone who knows this product would understand. And anyone who didn't know the product would think I was silly, or at least until I had their ear for five minutes. Anyway, since this is the fulfillment of a dream I am sure that you understand why I want to use them as designed. I made my teenagers sit through the video before I even washed my set for the first time! That's how much I love the stuff! I wanted to make sure that I did not hear the credo of the teenager; "Well, I didn't know....". Now they know and they will treat it right, because they know what's good for them;)?I fully expect my Kitchen Craft products to outlive me. And it is good to know that my children will know the benefits of healthier, more economical meal preparation. Mariyllen, Union Grove, WI |

In 1958, my parents, Roberto and Antonia Parra, purchased a set of your cookware for about $400. We lived in Los Angeles, CA. I was ten years old and one of eight children. This was quite a lot of money in those days and a small fortune for my parents. I remember your representatives preparing a dinner that was mostly new to us since we had been raised on Mexican food. They prepared a ham with pineapple, vegetables and a pineapple upside-down cake. It was the first time I tasted meat with fruit. ?As long as I can remember, we (my mom and five girls) used the cookware to prepare three daily meals for the family as we grew to eleven children and my parents. Over the years, the cookware began to lose handles, but it continues until today to be used by my mom (she and my dad live alone now) to prepare fewer meals. My parents had long misplaced any literature that came along with the cookware. Over the weekend, my husband and I sat through one of your presentations at the L. A. Home Show and I recognized the cookware. When I got home, I asked my mom to look under the pot and tell me the manufacturer. Without even looking, she said Kitchen Craft. Bianca, Malibu, CA |

My husband insisted we get a set of Kitchen Craft after joining in on a demonstration at the State Fair. I was reluctant to spend that much money at this stage of our lives (we're close to 70) But I love it and am so proud of it. Then on January 1, my husband had to have a stent put in one of his arteries--this was sort of 'out of the blue' and he is now learning as much as he can about eating healthy. Thank goodness I have the right utensils! Thanks so much. Joanne, Lake Oswego, OR |

My husband and I were attending almost every homeshow locally. We were about to venture into a huge kitchen remodel. That meant no hot meals for approximately 3-4 months. After viewing a demo, I thought my husband wouldn't even consider spending $$$ on cookware since we were spending $60,000 on our remodel. I was wrong! It turned out to be the best investment ever! I love to cook and the thought of not having a home cooked meal for months was very sad. On the first day without a stove or oven, I was able to prepare a full course meal using your slo-cooker and electric skillet. My husband was shocked! My kids a little disappointed because they were looking forward to all the fast food. Now, I have a beautiful kitchen! But my husband tells everone he regrets spending all that money because my meals were just as delicious using your "Kitchen Craft Cookware" on a "small" bar area. Thank you for a wonderful product! Jessica, Diamond Bar, CA |

This is the best and most energy saving cookware I've ever used. The food is just awesome when cooked with this cookware. Most of the meals I've cooked take about 30 minutes for 2 people with no hassels whatsoever. It used to take about 1 hour to cook the same meal and it wasn't anything to talk about - not to mention the energy for 30 more minutes. Now I've been talking and talking a lot about these kitchen tools that surpass the very best. Thanks for being the greatest and MADE IN USA!!! YES! Jeff, McKinney, TX |

I purchased this set right out of high school, it was approximately $500 and included a set of knives in a wooden holder (Istill use today) a set of flatware (all have been lost). This was back in 1959. I was cooking Sunday dinner and thought about how long I have had these pans. I never did master the waterless cooking but the pans are wonderful. The only thing that ever happened to them was a dent in one of the lids, and one knob replacement. I also lost both cookie sheets. This $500 was very expensive at the time, but has proved to have been a very worthwhile investment. Thanks for making such a great product. It will definitely outlast me. Barb, Portage, MI |

During a move, my husband and I were taking boxes from the kitchen to the truck. My husband decided to place the Kitchen Craft Cookware box on the stove while he took care of some other things. When he set the box down, he accidently turned on the stove and didn't know. Next thing we know the house goes up in flames and our cookware was destroyed ... so we thought. After examining the rubush and retrieving everything we could, I decided to try to clean up my once beautiful cookware. With a little Cameo® and a lot of elbow grease I was ecstatic when my cookware turned out good as new! In fact, I kept the cord for the Electric Skillet inside of the unit and when I took the top off the skillet, the cord had not been damaged and it still works! The only evidence that my cookware has been in a fire is that a few of the handles are a bit melted. WOW! Linda, Fairfield, CA |

I bought my Slo-Cooker - just the one piece was all I could afford - last year. After cooking all kinds of stuff this past year and enjoying it so much that I have dubbed it my "Magic Pot," I had to move Heaven and earth to make it to the Fair this year and get my set. I bought the smallest set, as I am still cash-challenged somewhat, but was happy to get it. It arrived in time for this morning's breakfast, and I immediately washed and heated my skillet. Even though I've seen the demo twice, I was still skeptical about cooking scrambled eggs in anything but a nonstick pan. Well...let me tell you, the eggs never even TRIED to stick, and the pan was clean as a whistle in a jiffy. I got a second Slo-Cooker as an incentive when I bought my set, and even though I already have one, it's hard for me to part with it - but I will! I'm giving it to my best friend/manager of my little specialty store as a bonus/housewarming gift - I'm also his real estate agent and am helping him find a new home right now, and this is one thing I knew he would not buy for himself. I know he's going to discover what I did - this is the best value for the money I've ever purchased. At twice the price, it would still be a bargain, the quality of the cookware is so superior to anything I've ever used. I can't wait to mess with the Kitchen Kutter!! I'm going to go buy 15 pounds of veggies to shred, slice and enjoy tonight!!! Well, I won't EAT it all tonight, but I'll KUT it all! ;) Gail, South Gate, CA |

I noticed Kitchen Craft is listed as a presenting company with a booth at our Home Show. It was quite a surprise to see and recognize the company name. The set of Kitchen Craft cookware that I purchased in 1957 is the cookware I still use today ... 47 years later! I purchased the set in Washington, D. C. paying for it $5. a week out of a $45 week paycheck. As you can imagine, I took cookware seriously to invest such a large portion of my income to it! I hope someone in your company will take time to enjoy my message and the amazement of this nearly half a century Kitchen Craft user! It would be interesting to know if you receive many other lifetime stories such as mine.?Congratulations and Sincere Best Wishes! Barbara, Bradenton, FL |

You will never know how thrilled I was when I sent my 52-year-old roaster pan in to get a broken handle repaired and back came a brand new roaster pan and I am so appreciative! I doubt, however, that I'll be around to see it used for the next 50 years but somebody will. I have 2 or 3 other pieces and they are still serving me well. Thank you again. I will enjoy using my new one. Gayle, Charlotte, MI |

It was very interesting to read of Kitchen Craft Cookware’s expansion as I have a set from 1940 when it was introduced at house parties. My husband bought a set for me as a surprise - I almost took his head off as we were newlyweds on a tight budget. We paid for it in installments which was hard to do at that time. It was a wise buy (as he kept reminding me) as I still am using it daily and no doubt will pass it on to a grandchild when I’m gone. It has outlasted my husband of 60 years. I think of him each time I use a pan. Ruth, Saint Francis, WI |

We just attended a demonstration at the CA State Fair like we always do. The young man was fairly new but I love Kitchen Craft and really like telling folks about the benefits of waterless cooking. Every time I attend a show I either learn something new or remember some tip I forgot. Last year we bought some additional pieces and this year we bought the baking set. Now the only thing left for me to do is to apply to be a show host. This is the best cooking ware anyone could get or give. Thank you! Peter, Half Moon Bay, CA |

I purchased a set for my mother in 1963 and received it back from the estate after her passing. I was thrilled to learn they were still under warranty. This information was shared at a recent show I attended in New Orleans. Your representatives were very helpful and I am looking forward to many more years of service. West Bend Cookware is the finest I have experienced. Since we live in South Louisiana and cooking is such a part of our culture, nothing does it better than Kitchen Craft! Thanks for producing such a great product. Kenneth, Livingston, LA |

I have no need to diet because of my waterless greaseless cookware. My cholesterol was 589 - now it's 209. My triglycerides were 1400 - now 380! This was without using medication or dieting. Thanks Kitchen Craft! Vicki, Beauna Vista, CA |

I was going through some old cookbooks and found a booklet with Recipes and Instructions for Stainless Steel Cookware by Kitchen Craft. I looked you up on the web to see if you are still in business and was surprised to find you. I thought you would like to hear my story. I bought a complete set of cookware while still in high school in 1955 and almost FIFTY YEARS LATER I am still using them -- they still look like a new set of cookware! In fact, they look better than most of what I see in the stores now. Only problem I had with the set was a knob on the small saucepan cracked and thanks to your website, we found a knob to replace it with. Thanks for many years of service. Jan, Bellefontaine, OH |
|
I just wanted to say that I've had an original set since 1951. I just found my instruction book and wasn't sure if you were still in business. I've enjoyed your cookware ever since way back then and to this day I haven't seen the quality to top your product. I still use them every day. Just thought maybe you would be interested to know that after all these years, you are still the best. Lorene, Mesa, AZ |

I received my electric skillet a week ago and cannot believe the ease of cooking and clean up. My new utensil is a work of art to look at as it sets on my countertop. The recipes are easy to follow and a breeze to prepare. Tonight I prepared the Moroccan Chicken for my husband and father. Not only was it tastey, but attractive in the skillet on my table. My husband is now convinced my purchase was a good decision and the skillet a good value. Carol O., Baxter, NC |

What a product! In 1950 we hosted a party in our home here in Geraldine, Alabama and as I remember it everybody who attended bought a set or some piece of cookware. We bought a whole set -- I believe the price was $60 -- and we could no more afford that expenditure than anything, but we both agree that it was the best money we've ever spent. John and Billie, Geraldine, AL |

Great stuff. I love it! One of the best purchases I have made in a long time! Hector, Bradenton, FL |

Let me tell you about my "old pots and pans." They allowed me to send them back to the company and they replaced all my old handles with brand new ones and I only paid for the shipping! My husband and I were very impressed! I can't say enough good things about your company. Made in the U.S.A is the way to go! I've had the old set for 41 years and I cook all the time, they still look great! Thanks a bunch, Blessings, Barbara Gagnon, |

I had a wonderful experience with Kitchen Craft and I want to share it with everyone. I had two lids that needed replaced so I called the company to see how I could go about it. Well Linda in the Customer Service Department was so nice. She checked the call tags for delivery and made sure my lids would arrive by Thanksgiving. I hung up the phone bawling because it was such an amazing experience. I have been battling Ethan Allen over a purchase I made just last spring. They won't even return my calls. I bought my cookware years ago and the service I got from Kitchen Craft was phenomenal. I was treated so nicely and I just wanted to thank you. I will let everyone know what a good company Kitchen Craft is! Mrs. Messick, Centerville, UT |

I lost 20 pounds and my cholesterol is down over 100 points - I wish I had known Bill & Patty (Kitchen Craft Distributors) sooner! I wish you had a dozen more just like them. Thanks again! Stan, Memphis, TN |

My parents invited a Kitchen Craft Sales Rep to our house after I got engaged. They bought a deluxe set for me and I am still using it. We recently purchased a new stove with a glass surface and radiant heat. I was worried that my pans wouldn't cook as well on this surface but they still do a great job. None of the pans have warped and they still clean and shine like new. Thank you Kitchen Craft! Joyce A., Tiverton, RI |

I purchased your cookware on impulse years ago, I was a young girl not even yet out on my own. It was the best purchase I ever made. I use it every day. It has moved with me through 6 states and I couldn't imagine using anything else. I recommend it to everyone. Kelly Manning, Kailua, HI |

My mother bought Kitchen Craft cookware 35 years ago. Sales men went door to door and even cooked a meal to demonstrate the efficient way this cookware is. To this day my mother still uses and has this set in its entirety which is I think more than 15 pieces all have been cared for and are in mint condition considering they have been in use for the past 35 years!

My father was a Kitchen Craft rep and gave us a complete set as a wedding present in 1951. They are made of aluminum, not stainless steel. They have served us well for 52 years. I don't think I could cook with any other type of pans. Thanks so much for your excellent craftsmanship. Patricia, Kelseyville, CA |

When I purchased this set, I kept thinking, God, I hope it was worth the money. Well, it was and still is. I love the fact that I don't have to use oil or water. The meats come out so tender and full of juice, and the vegetables don't lose any of their nutrients. Lenore, Palm Coast, FL |

This set of pots and pans are without a doubt the best I've ever owned ... and I've tried many! Nothing has held up as well and stayed flat with no warping. You need that kind of quality these days with glass top ranges! 30 years of a wonderful product and I thank you! Jill, Blue Ridge, GA |

My Mother's first set of cookware was Kitchen Craft. She purchased it in 1946. Mom passed away in 1997. I am still using these pans today!!! It is still in excellent condition! Joan, Fayetteville, WV |

I love the fact that I don't have to use any oil or butter when cooking. I made chicken breasts that were some of the best I've had! I definitely share your information with my foods students here at Badger Middle School. I truly believe you have a winner in the Kitchen Craft line! Sally, West Bend, WI |

I have a little 1 Quart pan that I've had for a very long time. I use it so much as I live in a home where we are fed our dinner but must make our other meals. (I'm 93 years old.) Nothing burns in my little 60-year-old pan. Thanks for such a great, long-lasting, product. Mrs. Ruth Knadle, Inwood, IA |

We went to a demonstration of your products at a friend’s home in 1983. We were so impressed by the display that we purchased a set. Since that time we have never had to purchase any other cookware. Your cookware has probably been the best purchase we have made since then. We promote all of your pieces to everyone. Thank you for everything! Julie, Layton, Utah |

It has been great to use for cooking for our family of 7 for 45 years. It has served us well and it's wonderful not to use grease or water. Richard, Council Bluffs, IA |

Super!! Lasts for many generations. Looks the same as it did 34 years ago. I love to stack them up and cook! Rudy, Camillus, NY |

Dear Kitchen Craft: I have used it for 30 years. My son, a chef, tried mine and loved it! Now he has his very own set. Eleanor, Choctaw, OK |

I love it!!! I save on buying vitamins. Healthy cooking does it alone. Charles, Texas |

I purchased the Kitchen Craft Basic Set in June of 2001 after watching a demonstration at the fair. I weighed 290 lbs. at the time and was very unhappy with what fast foods had done to my body. I was able to cook my meals at home in the same time it took to go out and get fast food or junk. By January of 2002 I weighed in at 215 lbs. without going on a fad diet. Just good food at home. At the first demonstration they mentioned the effects of aluminum on memory loss and that was me. I removed all aluminum from my diet, including pans and soda cans. My memory is back and clear.
