hi all, my house will be ready somewhere in july. i'm looking for cookware and come across with this 2 brands. both of them are from germany.

i would like to know which one is better. anyone using this brand?

For me is WMF, because is dirt cheap when is sale in Singapore. My set is only SGD 150 for 6 pots or was it 6+1.

The SS is 18/10 . My Cutlery also from WMF

i am using both..... my knifes and accessories are from zwillings..... my pots, pans and cutleries are from wmf....
both are good brands....
also its not the brand but the quality....

But for Chinese cooking, i don't use that. I use cast iron wok, is much more nicer to cook when you have a strong fire power stove.

i bought Zwilling just because it seems always on sale. WMF also got sale but its just that I didn't come across when I wanted to buy.

mine still in the box....lol so i can't tell you if they are good or not

yesterday I changed my Treats point for these -

I managed to convert all my points plus top up cash Rm66 for these -
The 30 piece flatware set were especially worth buying at 80% off. Plus the 250 points for Rm1 offer, it's almost a steal.
30 pieces flatware - RM288
2 piece knife set -

btw i don't think my Zwilling pots and pan are made in Germany. I think China made la, cannot be so cheap

I'm using WMF too. But I think WMF sets sold in singapore are not entirely made in Germany from what I've googled on reviews.

But my WMF set is from Singapore like Weikee's set and definitely worth the buy because considered very solid and also stainless steel. Both WMF and Zwilling brands have quality which is why they are worth buying, so there is no such issue on which brand is better.

If you compare their quality with other stainless steel pots/pans in the market then you know whether you are paying well for it or not.

i can agree with weikee, boths these brands are so much cheaper in sg than my....

The same set selling in KL is > 1k even after so call discount. Which I doubt is made in Germany. As long they come with QC and real 18/10 is good. I think the Zebra also can't fight with the Sales price in SG.

for all these products, shopping is SG is heaven

My set original price was above S$500 before it got discounted for christmas promotion. The original price tag was on it but I think the WMF ones with teflon coating and color series are likely to be made in Germany. 1 individual pot with the coating is in the range of S$350-400 when I last looked 2 years ago. My eyes went flat out looking at the prices.

WMF Stainless steel cookware is more affordable definitely. A good pan / pot should feel solid to me at least. Those with flimsy make is not going to make the cut for frequent cooking either.

Yeah, and we have to pray the sgd rate don't shoot up till 3.5

Yes , and you should check out the same item here in parkson.

Their pressure cooker are cheaper in sg too, but not like the pots and pans crazy discount, think it still 20-30% cheaper.

Parkson in JB is like so small. Only 1 place there and they don't have WMF. Not much to shout though.

Only consolation is that JB is nearer to SG, can cross over and take a look. However, the toll charges both ways is a turn off seriously.

About pressure cooker, that reminds me, I have to go check them out.

Any stainless steel kitchen ware are good. And getting non stick cookware would be better.
Brand are not important, more important is how you maintain them.
Like knife, no matter how sharp it is, you still need to sharpen it after few years of usage.

Maintaining them is one thing, but the material quality, finishing, also plays a roll

both brands are good, however bear in mind both WMF and Zwilling have different levels of quality. 5star zwilling is way better than the twin series for example. It all depends on what quality level you want. But: even the lowest end ones from either brand are good. I use WMF pots and cuttlery and a mix of WMF and Zwilling knifes, sheers and utensils. They last forever and retain their quality. So whatever you get you can assume its for the long run .

and yes: do listen to the others - buy it in sing. i also bought almost everything there. way cheaper than in malaysia for the same product.

Flame profile of the hob is one factor to consider also. Strong flame above 5kW can discolor a 5 ply stainless steel cookware like Zwiling. I use to have a 5.5kW inner flame tornado hob and the heat focus must have cause uneven expansion of the 30cm flat wok that there's a permanent discoloration.

Hence for those best to use those cast iron tai chow wok.

Best for these two brands is to use induction or those circular thermal heating (halogen?) or any flame that are non inner flame focus type.
