Stonedine cookware, anyone tried it?

If you have tried it, what did you think? I saw the commercials and really want to buy the set, but I am not sure if it would be worth the cost. You can look it up , just the name stonedine and the dot com. Thanks for any opinions!

I just checked StoneDine.com to see what the deal is with these pans. To be honest, I am not buying the concept.
The first red flag was "There is stone in the coating". This indicates to me that the coating is not 100% stone. This is typically how these infomercials scam people. It's like the knife set they are giving away advertise "Never need sharpening". When a knife is advertised, "Never needs sharpening", this means the knife can NEVER be sharpened.
The second problem, they only can be heated to 350 degrees. If you pan fry, deep fry, boil sugar, make homemade fudge and candies, the temperature of the pan is going to exceed 350 degrees. Plus, I like pans that can take about 450 - 550 degrees so I can do roasts and fritatas (just like an omelet but in the oven).
Now for the rest of the deal...
The total cost of the set is $299.97 + S&H. I really think you're overpaying in return for crap. I think you'd do better buying a different set. Here is an example of something that would suit your needs:
Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12 Pc. set @ Homedepot.com
Price: $299.00 + S&H
What really attracts me to this set over other stainless sets is the following:
"Tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel construction with aluminum core; brushed exterior, mirror-finish interior"
That word "Tri-ply ... w/ aluminum core." That will give you the best browning ability for any type of cooking. Stainless steel by itself is HORRIFIC when it comes to browning. Aluminum conducts heat evenly and allows food to brown nicely. But aluminum by itself is not good to cook in because it can wear off into food. The alternative is to buy cookware with aluminum encased in the stainless steel pan. The "tri-ply" simply means there is three layers of aluminum in the base of the pan. This is IDEAL!!!! The nice thing about this set is the aluminum is even in the sides of the pan, not just the bottom.
The other plus for this set is:
"Each piece is oven-safe to 500 degrees F, and the pans are safe for broiler-use, too."
You can feel good knowing your pans can pan fry, deep fry, and make those specialty treats without compromising the quality of your cookware. You can also brown your roast on the stove, then in the same pan put it directly in the oven.
The last plus: These pans are DISHWASHER SAFE!!!!! Something Teflon or stone pans cannot do!

Hope this helps!

Amazon has the same set for $209.00, 351 people have reviewed the set giving it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Sounds like a winner to me!!

I purchased a set and it is the best set I have ever used!! I have tried teflon, cast iron, earth pans,etc. They are amazing!! You can cook with much lower heat because the stone gets warmer quicker and stays hot. I am soo glad I found these pans!! Also easy to clean.

Hello everyone, Yes, I have tried the Stonedine cookware. And I love it. I use it everyday when I cook for my family. I have NO complaints about the cookware. You should "season" the cookware after every 2 uses. I use Olive Oil it seems to work better.

These are good pots and pans, but not worth the $300.00 I paid for them. The coating is real thin. I have been very careful not to scratch them, and the coating is still coming off in spots. I can see silver in the bottom of a couple of my pans.It is true that you can cook with a lot less oil and fats.

I am grateful for your review. I have missed the 'stone blend' in the commercial, and searing below 350F does not appeal to me. Thank you for saving me >$100 they charge for the 11in pan. I will look into Le Creuset cast iron skillet with a satin black enamel cooking surface, next.

I have a set. My large fry pan began peeling almost immediately. That was with hand washing and using teflon tools. It costs a fortune to return it (overseas) for repair, so it's in the attic. I've used all the other pieces for over a year. No complaints.

I bought the large fry/sauce pan a few months ago after reading the reviews on the Orgreenic and the Blue pans. I absolutely love this pan!!! Cooks great, cleans up so easily, and you don't need to add oils to your food.

If any one reads this and finds it helpful, they are as ill-informed as you, which means they also don't know what they are talking about with regard to cooking and the products.
This product doesn't need to reach these high temperatures to brown or sear what's being cooked because they have been designed to do the job at lower temps to save energy and therefore money as stone retains the heat better allowing use of temps with the dial set at medium or lower.

Wow! Thank you for saving me from my own stupidity!
According to you, this company has found a way to defy the laws of thermodynamics by lowering the temperature at which meat sears. AMAZING!
Does that mean I can make water boil at less than 212 degrees with this wonderful product? Can I place one on top of my furnace and heat the whole house on 3 cents a day? Will leaving this cookware outside contribute to global warming?

My daughter and son-in-law bought of Stonedine several months ago. They absolutely love it.
So far there have been no problems with the coating coming off. My son-in-law does the cooking and very impressed with this easy to clean cookware. He usually just wipes it out with a paper towel to clean it. Or, if he washes it, he put a couple drops of cooking oil and wipes it around with a paper towel. And, it really is as non-stick as the advertisements show. An egg free slides when you try to get a spatula under it, and that is without any grease or oil, so he uses a two spatula technique. It also browns a steak quite nicely. I'm thinking of ordering a set for myself. (Right after I have saved up to buy an I-Pad, first things first.)

I bought a set from amazon the direct stonedine "deals" are typical as seen on tv scams making any question of value for what you pay much worse. All I wanted was the cookware and I still couldn't get a set without knives being thrown in even from amazon.
You shouldn't use any nonstick stove top cookware in a high temperature oven usage. The heat limit of 350* F for the pots and pans are due to the handles not the cooking surface. This is evident by the stoneline (same product and process different marketter) oven roaster with cast metal handles has a limit of 500* which is the typical nonstick surface limit. If you want to put something in the oven over around 450* I would use cast iron anyway. No single piece of cookware is right in all situations. Almost all basic cookware lists from chefs include a nonstick and a cast iron fry pan - very few chefs would tell you to use one over the other for all situations.
In a short period of use this is the best nonstick surface I have ever cooked on. I hope it lasts a long time.
