After the research on steel cookware, we finally bought one set of pots and pans from Meyer with one solo Saucepan as it was not available in set.
We purchased it during the sale and get it in some discounted price from Amazon. This is the set , saucepan and saucepan for rice/pasta. We bought this rice/pasta saucepan just because of it’s lid as it has 2 type of strainer in the lid.
Why Meyer Cookware?
My experience
- 100% Nickel Free Stainless Steel from Nippon Steel Corp JAPAN-Quality is good but not too thick around 4 mm so you have to take care not to keep it on high flame otherwise it burns easily and will leave marks on the cookware.
- It has superior pitting resistance compared to ordinary steel cookware – What is PITTING? Pitting is the stains or erosion that you notice in your steel pan while boiling water. PITTING occurs in stainless steel in the presence of chlorides like salt. I had this issue with my Meyer Saucepan, the very first time I boiled rice in it with one spoon salt. I noticed some marks at the bottom and after washing it multiple times with soap, marks are still there and I have to live with it. We got stains/erosion from the first use, that too on saucepan worth INR 3575. We contact customer care service but they said it will not affect it’s working. So we have no option of replacement and we have to use that only.
- Impact Bonded Base for Even Heat Distribution – It is layered with aluminium core inside and stainless-steel protector outside. This thick base allows for more distance between the flame and the surface of the pan. Therefore, the extra distance allows the heat to diffuse evenly and thus prevent hot spots. – But with my own experience I felt heat spots comes daily with high flame in this cookware especially in kadai.
- Durable stainless steel with fast heating process- Steel cookware looks good and yes heats faster as I mentioned you need to take care of the flame too specially with kadai than other cookware. Most of them would get rainbow like discoloration with little high flame and you need to scrub it to remove. So cooking on high flame is a BIG NO with this cookware even if your dish required high flame cooking.
- Metal utensil safe and can be used in dishwasher– I have been using steel spoons with Meyer Cookware, didn’t noticed any marks from that but yes they have mentioned not to use steel scrubbers for cleaning as it can leave marks . We don’t have a dishwasher so no comment on that.
- Ten years warranty free for material and workmanship defects under normal household usage – I have not tried warranty yet but yes as mentioned the saucepan issue not been resolved and said it doesn’t come under replacement.
- Sturdy Handle- Meyer Cookware lids are comparatively heavier than the base pan. It has glass lids with stainless steel handles riveted from inside. Provided with silicone inserts for soft grip and heat resistance. But it will work for short time cooking only as the lid and handles gets hot if you are cooking for a long time like more than 20 Minutes. Also as suggested do not keep it soaked in water from silicon side as it will affect it’s glue.
- High Grade Mirror Polished FW2 Stainless Steel. Looks was obviously a main point too when I choose to spend so much on stainless steel cookware. But sad to say the shine would not last too long, especially from inside the pan. And you really have to take care of cleaning and keep explaining your maid to clean with proper care.
Final verdict
Meyer Cookware is good quality then most but cost is little higher as per the thickness. You can definitely try this if you are looking for something good with good warranty and quality then other.

I’am leaving this comment because after a few years the rubber bit’s under the handles of my saucepans started to full off and i try to contact Meyer but couldn’t find a UK phone number so i at to give up using them and replace them with a more robust type set of saucepan so be warned about this problem and these saucepans were always hand washed and not in a dishwasher so i know that is was not to with the temperature of the water so be very careful when you are choosing your cookware that’s all i can say !!
Thank you for sharing your experience, I would suggest please try contacting on Instagram or any other social media platforms it surely works
This is what I have done to remove spots from salt in the water:
Wash the pot as you normally would, then rinse. Spray a bit of white vinegar in the bottom of the pot and rub it around with a cloth or a non scratching pad. No need to rub hard or scour.
Rinse and dry.
Terrible. The lid doesn’t fit.
We tried to return. They said to take a picture of it boiling water. We did. Then they said we can’t return because it’s used and they have a picture to prove it. Crooks.
This steelware looks good for long run. I was looking for such options , will give this one try.
This steel cookware is good to have for kitchen and enjoy healthy and delicious food.
I haven’t bought cookware online yet but your review will help me make an informed decision. For me quality matters and I’m willing to pay for it.
I was not aware about the concept of pitting. Something that I knew was there but never really thought about it. The utensils look good, something that you can cook and also serve.
Thanks for this detailed review of steel cookware by Meyer. I will definitely recommend reading your post to my friends and family before buying from Meyer.
I am so stunned by the wonderful features of this cookware. Pure steel cookwear is quite rare these days. Mostly we see nickel mixed ones, so glad this one is not the same.
Thanks for this review. I have been looking for good stainless steel cookware like kadhai and saucepan for daily use.
I have seen Meyer Steel Cookware on Amazon and was actually eyeing it. But the part about stains/erosion after the first use does not inspire confidence, though 10 year warranty is pretty cool. Thanks for your honest review!
Thank you for this honest review. I will keep it in mind next time I am shopping for cookware.
I dont use pure stainless steel as the food tends to burn if kept even on medium flame. But this one still looks better. Would consider this brand in case want to buy stainless steel cookware.
Overall the quality looks great. However, the corrosion in the pan right after the first use is a bummer. I am thinking about replacing some deep dish pans this Diwali. Will look up Meyer on Amazon. Your review definitely helps.
This looks nice and strong. I am infact looking for a saucepan and wok, thanks for sharing this.
The handle looks so sturdy, I need new kitchen ware. I am planning to get during Diwali. Now I have a good option thanks.
