WearEver Cook And Strain Cookware

The WearEver brand is probably more popular for its ceramic cookware but it also has a stainless steel line that enjoys a fairly good rating from consumers. The WearEver Cook and Strain cookware is not only affordable, but it has a nice feature that most pots and pans are lacking in.

Should You Buy The WearEver Cook and Strain Cookware Set?

Pros

1. Pour spouts and strainer lids – It is not often that you will find cookware with pour spouts and strainer lids. While this is not a must have for pots and pans, it is still a convenient feature that often comes in handy during cooking.
2. Price – For a 10-piece set, it is not a very costly investment. The price is comparable to the Farberware Classic and T Fal Elegance. It is ideal for those who are not willing to spend a fortune on cookware and just want something that works well in the kitchen for way below the $100 mark.
3. Cleans easily – While it is a dishwasher safe set, many customers have found it just as easy to hand-wash the pieces with hot soapy water and a scour pad. Some also recommended soaking the pan if food sticks to the cooking surface and that seems to solve the problem most of the time.

Cons

1. Lid handles get hot – The handles on the lids can get very hot and you should be careful when lifting them up while cooking. The long handles get warm too on the stove although they are still cool enough to touch as long as they are not exposed to direct heat, which can happen if you use the wrong sized burner.
2. Not for medium to large families – The Dutch oven’s capacity is only 5-quart although a smaller pot is typical in cheaper stainless steel cookware sets, such as the Cook N Home and Excelsteel sets.

At 16 pounds, the WearEver Cook and Strain Stainless Steel 10-piece set is not a thick, heavy weight cookware like your Lodge cast iron pieces but neither is it flimsy. The bottom has a thick base but the sides could be a little thin for some. It does cook well enough with its even heat distribution and most buyers have no problems as to its cooking performance although the usual stickiness issue does arise from a small section of consumers.

Its main selling point has to be the strainer lids and this feature alone makes this a worthwhile buy. For the price it is selling at, you most probably cannot find another cookware set with the same feature. However, do bear in mind that you do need sufficient strength to hold the pot with one hand while you strain because your other hand will need to hold on to the lid since it has no locking mechanism to keep it in place when you tilt the pot to pour out the liquid. If you have no problem with this minor inconvenience, then this WearEver Cook and Strain cookware set would be the one to get if you want pots and pans with strainer lids.
