Cannot complain
This is quality cookware. The problem is the user does not follow the manufacturer's recommendation on its use. Purchased this cookware for induction cooking for my wife. Unfortunately, she used metal utensils to mix and stir the food in the cookware. The nonstick material has chipped off where the utensils having scratched the cookware. Also the glass lids for the pots and pans have screwed on caps that trap water when you wash the lids. I think these lids could stand some R&D/improvement.

Sticking with Berndes
When I bought my new induction cooktop, I knew that all my great Berndes SignoCast nonstick cookware would not work on it. Not to worry! The Berndes Coquere line is designed for use on induction. I ordered the 10-piece set. Now that I have been using it for about a month, I can say that I am very happy with its heft and its overall feel (the handles are different than the SignoCast)- it is quite comparable to the SignoCast in that regard. I am especially pleased with the way it (and the induction cooktop) cooks. The large 11" saute pan is a really convenient size and shape. The only problem is that the saucepans and the stock pot (dutch oven) in the set are on the small side. Be sure you are aware of their capacities when you order. I also got a veggie wok (directly from Berndes as it was not available on Amazon) and it was just that - a considerably smaller wok than the full size Swiss Diamond nonstick I had to abandon for the sake of induction. All in all the set was a great...
Berndes quality & customer service is lacking
I purchased this set for my new induction stove.

The pans do work well and the non-stick so far has held up.

But that's the extent of the good I can say. I ordered one set that had several defects, scratches due to improper factory packing and all 3 skillets had loose rivets on the handles allowing them to move/rattle. I tried repeatedly to contact Berndes customer service to see if there was an easy way to repair, but the NEVER responded. Neither emails to Germany nor messages and emails to the USA website were answered even once.

I attempted to register them as instructed in the package, but the website didn't allow me to complete the process, so they still are not covered.

Needless to say, I was forced to return them to Amazon and ordered another set. The second set had 1 skillet with a loose handle and minor scratches on the small skillet so I kept them as I have had trouble locating a good set of cookware that is induction...
