My sister-in-law got me hooked on Wolfgang Puck cookware by buying me a piece here and there for different holidays. I love the look of stainless steel and the durability is unmatched. Out of my collection, there are three pieces that I think are top notch.
This Omelet pan features 18/10 stainless steel construction, the riveted handle stays cool and the inside of the pan is non-stick. I have to say that I have never had one item stick to this pan. It is dishwasher safe but I don't even find it necessary to put it in the dishwasher. One swipe with a soft sponge, some water and a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid does the trick in record time. This is by far the easiest pan to wash. Another feature that I find that is pretty cool is that it is oven safe up to 350 degrees. I have never made a better omelet or grilled cheese than I have using this Wolfgang Puck Bistro 12" Nonstick Omelet Pan. Just be sure to use plastic utensils on this or you will scratch the coating. I had a little bit of chipping of the non-stick coating right by the rivets on the handle. I called HSN, was sent a brand new pan without any problem, and didn't even have to return the slightly chipped pan. Love that lifetime manufacturer's warranty!
2. Wolfgang Puck Bistro 4-Piece 8-Qt. Pasta Cooker
This Pasta Cooker comes with an 8-qt. stockpot, a pasta insert, a vegetable steamer, and a glass lid. This cooker is also made from 18/10 stainless steel, has stay-cool riveted handles, and an aluminum encapsulated base. I have used this pasta cooker more times that I can even remember. I have not only used it for pasts but for potatoes and corn on the cob. I take the insert out and make chili and soups. I even use it on Easter to boil eggs to color. The possibilities are really endless. The vegetable steamer is an added bonus that we often use and my husband makes steamed clams in it. This piece is also dishwasher safe but because of the size I, always hand wash it. It is of course not as easy to clean as the non-stick pan but still pretty easy. I love the glass lid that comes with it not only because it makes it look more attractive but because I am able see the food inside of the pot. This cooker can also be put in the oven but up to as high as 400 degrees. I have never had any problems at all with this pasta cooker but if I do, I have the lifetime manufacturer's warranty to fall back on! I couldn't ask for anything more.
3. Wolfgang Puck Panini Maker & Multipurpose Grill
I'm not sure if this product is considered cookware or more of an appliance but I cook food in it and I love it! This chrome Panini Maker/Grill is very attractive and is compact enough that it doesn't take up too much counter space. (14"L x 15"W x 6"H) This piece comes with a removable drip tray, a nylon cleaning brush and a grill-safe scraping/cleaning tool. The grill plates are removable and are dishwasher safe. This appliance puts out a whopping 1500 watts of power and grills food much faster than in a frying pan. A grilled cheese sandwich takes about three minutes to cook and comes out looking and tasting great. I have made panini's and the thick pieces of Italian bread aren't flattened out and the food inside cooks perfectly and tastes oh so good. I have used this for hamburgers, chicken, steak, and even bacon. Cook time is virtually cut in half because both sides are being cooked at the same time. This piece also comes with a warranty but it is a one year limited warranty. Thankfully, I haven't had any use for the warranty so far!
Final Thoughts ...
Wolfgang Puck makes quality and attractive cookware that is versatile and durable. Although the prices on some products may be a little steep, they are well worth it. HSN.com carries a full line of Wolfgang Puck products. Some other quality items that I own and have reviewed are the Wolfgang Puck Signature Series 5-piece Santoku Cutlery Set, the Wolfgang Puck Bistro 7-piece Stainless Utensil Set, and the Wolfgang Puck Bistro Pepper Mill.
