Healthcraft Cookware Reviews

I purchased my complete set of cookware and 20 inch under counter unit from Health Craft in 2018. The cookware has changed my life by cooking organic whole foods and produce in a way that retains the nutrients. I regularly cook organic produce in the small pan in the morning and I find that the vegetables come out with most of the nutrients retained that are typically lost when steaming or baking. When I cook poultry with the vapor seal lid, it comes out juicy without the added oil, butter or water required of other cookware. The thermometer tells you when your food is exceeding the breaking point for loss of nutritional value so you always stay in control of ensuring you are getting the most out of your food.

The actual stainless steel pots and pans, are wonderful. The handles not so much. They turn black, crack and disintegrate. I took out our original purchase information. I read the full unlimited lifetime factory warranty. I thought it looks like they are covered. I called today for the replacements and they told me it would be over $60 to replace one long handle and short handles. I questioned that it would fall under full unlimited lifetime factory warranty. He said no that's normal. Wear and tear. I believe handles that crack, disintegrate and turn black would be a manufacturing problem. When we watched the demonstration of the cookware, prior to purchasing, they stressed the lifetime warranty that is unlimited. The gentleman on the phone also told me our cookware was over 30 years old. Wrong. It is 20 years old this year! It was purchased February 5th of 2006.

I bought multiple 7-Ply cookware to use on my induction range and absolutely love them. After much research about different brands for use on induction stovetops, I chose Healthcraft because of the company's reputation and quality of their products. Since purchasing the original pots and pans, I recently purchased the 8 qt. Stockpot/Spaghetti cooker to go along with what I already have, and couldn't be happier. This cookware cooks evenly, steams vegetable perfectly, and best of all, are super easy to clean. I would highly recommend Healthcraft to anyone!

Attracted to waterless cookware at a home show over 20 years ago, I bought Healthcraft 7ply T304s cookware set to give a try because it has the same features yet cheaper. I have burned some of these pots numerous times multitasking, but every time I use stainless steel scrub, the pots came right back like new. Although 2 handles were partially burned, the rest of these 2 handles stayed in shape and survived so far. I replaced them last week just to make them look like new like the rest of the set. Lately, my son asked me to recommend a pot to use in college on induction cooktop. I told him mine is the best and shipped 1 to him and he loves it. Healthcraft waterless cookware is my favorite that I have recommended to all my friends.

We bought an expensive set of Healthcraft pots and pans at a home show. They worked well for a while, but soon the handles began to disintegrate! Called and they replaced one at no cost, then more began to disintegrate and when I called they said I'd have to pay $25 for them. Said they are too old and the handles are not covered in the Guarantee and that damage is due to my gas stove! But even the used and damaged ones are valuable and can be used towards a new set. I don't trust them anymore so that won't happen. And I've heard they are no longer made in the USA.

We purchased a beautiful set of the Gold/White Waterless/Greaseless Cookware in 1996 as a young married couple. After over 25 years of use, the pans still work like new and look like new thanks to some help from Barkeepers Friend. I know these pans can be passed down to my daughters due the exceptional workmanship and materials. And best of all, they are made in the USA! I recently reached out to the company, still headquartered in Tampa, FL, about a broken handle on a pan. I found myself emailing with Chef Charles Knight, the company’s founder! They replaced my pan with a brand-new pan from the factory in Kansas! It is the same quality and craftsmanship as the original. I couldn’t believe how great the customer service was and would highly recommend Health Craft to anyone looking for exceptional quality and warranty.

For the amount of money you pay for this cookware, you would think that the product would be top notch and stand the test of time. That is not the case. We bought more than $1500 worth of cookware, only to have the handles on all of the pots and pans slowly disintegrate over years of normal use. When I reached out to the warranty department for handle replacements, I was told that the reason for the disintegrating handles was because of my gas stove (too many BTUs of heat from the burners), not cheap handle materials!

When you purchase the expensive cookware, you are told you get lifetime warranty. However, when you call for a replacement, you are told the lifetime warranty by Healthcraft Cookware only applies to warping and so forth and not defective handles or lid tops. For replacement, you have to either locate your original distributor and hope he will make it good or pay the headquarters for the new part. Would not recommend anyone to deal with this company as they do not stand behind the original warranty. Only bought it for the lifetime warranty which do not hold up when a part broke.

Bought our first set as a newlywed and continued each year to buy more sets. My pots and pans still look new after over 20 years. I have referred this product to many friends and family after they saw them in person and asked about them. I asked them to guess the age, nobody believes they are over 20 years old. Think about how much money I have saved not having to buy more pots and pans over the years!!

We bought our cookware many years ago. Very expensive. We were told the cookware was guaranteed for life. The handles come off over time. They wanted $15 a piece to replace them, so much for the guarantee. They gave me a line of bull about gas cook tops and burner size. We have a defuser. They said we could upgrade. I said why would I buy something that is junk again. We have snap on handles. They must have many problems with the snap on handle because in 2006 they switched to screws to hold handles on. That's how I fixed my handles. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK COOK WARE. The service stinks and they are rude.

I purchased the whole set of Healthcraft cookware in 1996. I have loved using this product. I have used it extensively. I put them in the oven, in the dishwasher and have cleaned them by hand and have had no unusual problems. I have purchased 3 handles over the 23 years I’ve used the pans. I’ve entertained large groups (150 people) on a number of occasions. I had 6 children and they used my cookware as well. With a large family, usage is not always done carefully. I’d recommend this product to anyone. The grater also came with my pans. I’ve used it a lot. When the suction became a problem after 10 years of usage, I replaced the suction cup with no problem. My pans came with a beautiful coffee maker which I gave away because I don’t drink coffee. My only complaint is, I wish I’d had these pans when I first got married in 1967. Mrs. **.

About 4 years after purchasing almost $9000 worth of pots/pans/steamers... Pretty much the deluxe set, I've spent an additional $200 replacing the damn handles! The shipping cost is just as much or if not more than the item itself. When I inquired about that, I received a response saying that "It costs money to pull item from stock, package it up and ship it." The last time I ordered handles, I purchased 4 handles to save on shipping as I've already ordered handles twice before.

I purchased over $2000.00 worth of these products at a home show since I was intrigued with waterless cooking- figured it would be a lot healthier. What a disappointment! Unlike what the demonstrator claimed they are NOT oven proof in fact even when cooking on the stovetop the handles burn. I had several handles just break off when I lifted the pans! The suction holding the grater to the counter, didn't work after a few uses. VERY disappointed! Save your money and buy regular stainless steel pots and pans- The steel portion holds up on the Healthcraft but the handles are useless. In this case you do NOT get what you paid for.

I am shocked at some of these reviews for this product. My husband and I purchased the entire Gold/White Set on 02/07/98. That was over 20 years ago. I have purchased several items since then and I can't explain how happy I am. They are so much better than any other cookware I've had... and believe me I've tried it all. Calphalon, T-Fal, Farberware, etc. from more expensive to cheaper and none compare. My Calphalon warped and all the rest just fell apart. I use barkeepers friend on mine when they need it and other than a little of the gold on my gourmet set coming off, they still look brand new. No handles burning up or anything.

Every time I use my pots, it smells as if the handles are burning so I stop using the pot and switch. I no longer want to use these pots but my mother-in-law bought these for us. I am disgusted that for such an expensive set of pots and I can't even use them without handles burning.
