However, I became a Chefs Toolbox consultant initially because I was so impressed with their products and still am. Prior to being a Chefs Toolbox consultant, I had never sold anything in my life, and found that their products literally sold themslves. To this day, I still use the Chefs Toolbox kitchenware products in my cooking classes. I can honestly recommend these products.

Looking at getting a set as I have heard good reports from users, but want some non-biased advice on these products. Anyone know if they have been tested on Choice or other User Reviews? Is it really a review if you are a consultant for this company?!?!

I enjoy using mine, but I guess you can't please everyone all of the time. If you feel strongly about it, you could approach the Chefs Toolbox and they may agree to exchange the product for another.

I bought some CT silicon tipped tongs a few months ago & they are terrible. The silicon is far too soft to easily (& successfully) pick up food. We have given up using them. I have another pair of a different brand (Breville) & they are great. The other cookware products may be good but my advice, steer clear of the tongs!! hello.

You can use them for making small muffins or puddings, mini-frittatas, baked ricotta - anything that requires a mould. You can also use them for steaming, for example small steamed puddings. I love mine, they really do make the best poached eggs! If you'd like to order a set (6 in a set) visit https://www.chefstoolbox.com/my/lifes_a_feast/Products/Default.aspx They certainly can Rita!

The Chefs Toolbox como advanced cookware pans consist of eight layers, including three layers of the latest in non-stick coatings, called ‘Neptune’ that were specifically designed for their cookware. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been found to be harmful and I am happy to say is not used in the manufacturing of any of the como advanced cookware, although it has previously been linked to other non-stick coating manufacturers. The Silicone bake ware and cooking utensils are made of Commercial grade Silicone and do not contain BPA and other chemicals that have been found to be harmful. Hi Brian, thanks for your question.

As this are all non stick coated, which non stcik coating is being used? As rightly said by Mark that non stick coatings like Teflon has substances of C8 and Carcinogen which can lead to as bad as Cancer.But if they are using Ecolon as the non stick coating then its fine as Ecolon is 100% natural. Neoflam is Australia is also manufacturing non stick cookwares from Ecolon. Hey Gail, I want to ask you a question. As this are all non stick coated, which non stcik coating is being used?
