Amazon.com Review
From KitchenAid's Gourmet Essentials line comes this cookware set made of hard-anodized aluminum. Durable, handsomely finished in matte charcoal gray, and known for its exceptional heat distribution and retention properties, hard-anodized cookware is a very popular choice for the home chef. KitchenAid embellishes these pots with stainless-steel handles, riveted for strength and wrapped with cushy, stay-cool silicone grips. The lids, made of break-resistant glass for optimum viewing, also feature silicone-wrapped handles, highly arched to enable easy grasping with a potholder or oven mitt. Both the pans and lids are oven-safe up to 400 degrees F.

An excellent value, this 12-piece set consists of the most frequently used kitchen pots and pans and makes a great gift set. The two skillets, measuring 8 and 10 inches in diameter, handle everyday frying and sauteing needs, from eggs-over-easy to grilled cheese sandwiches to fish filets, then crepes for dessert. Three saucepans holding 1, 2, and 3 quarts let you boil a single egg, heat soup, and slow-cook a creamy risotto with wild mushrooms. The large 8-quart stockpot with two loop handles works admirably for family-sized batches of pasta, chili, soup, and corn-on-the-cob. Finally, the 12-inch covered saute pan with its helper handle tackles generous quantities of fried chicken, braised meats, stir-fries, and poached salmon. The nonstick finish releases food quickly and makes clean up by hand a snap. It's best to keep the nonstick cookware out of the dishwasher. KitchenAid covers the set with a one-year, hassle-free replacement warranty. --Ann Bieri

4 out of 5 stars over all review   May 5, 2008
This is a good set of pans I like the clear lids, the set is much heavier than most similar sets. The rubber handles are nice they haven't gotten hot to the touch as of yet. Over all I prefer cast iron but this is the best set of aluminum I have used. The handles are riveted on in a sturdy fashion. I would recommend this set for people with a family and kids that do the dishes easy clean up and they haven't bent when dropped on the floor. The only room for improvement I can see would be to make the pans a bit thicker on the sides for durability but like I said above we haven't bent them yet and they have hit the floor several times already.


5 out of 5 stars Extremely Pleased   April 19, 2008
I am very happy with this cookware. This cookware is a joy to use and is very simple and quick to clean. I am amazed at the quality and price Amazon offers on it's products. I am an extremely pleased customer with the cookware and with Amazon.


5 out of 5 stars Happy wife good life   March 31, 2008
I puchased the cookware for my wife. I did alot of research to find an affordable hard anodized set of professional grade cookware. Hands down this one is the best value. More importantly my wife loves her new cookware. They are sturdy, heat evenly, and the insulated handles make cooking pleasurable. Buying from Amazon made the process of pleasing my wife inexpensive, and hassle free. Thank you for that as well.

This cookware is the best! You can cook healty becasue you don't need to use any oils. When you are done cooking all you have to do is wipe it clean. Will buy again for myself and as gifts!


5 out of 5 stars A great set of cookware   March 25, 2008
My wife and I just purchased this 12pc set of KitchenAid cookware, and our first impressions are great! They heat up quickly and distribute the heat better than our older cookware. The nonstick surface has been great so far, very easy to clean. As mentioned in other reviews the lids are thicker than usual due to the handle design and take more storage room. And, like any good quality nonstick pans, you shouldn't put them in the dishwasher.
