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

5 out of 5 stars Good Quality, low price   July 20, 2008
I am very happy with this cookset. It is strong and sturdy, and the non-stick is better than anything I've ever cooked on before. They are easy to cook with, and easy to clean up. Also, the set comes with only useful peices, so you don't get the sense that you are paying for something you won't use, and you don't have to spend more money to buy extra peices the set does not include. I don't see any difference between this set, and my friend's more expensive set.


4 out of 5 stars very happy with these pots   July 18, 2008
It took me a long time to buy new pots. Researched all the brands, tried out Calphalon and Analon (one pot each) and wasn't happy with the non-stick. Finally, I took the plunge and bought these. They are great. Heat up fast, cook food evenly, clean up easily. The only thing I am not sure about is the glass lids - never used glass lids before so I don't know how they will hold up...but we'll see. Otherwise, a great set. I recommend purchasing them.


5 out of 5 stars Quality set & pleasure to use   July 7, 2008
I've had my set now for 5 months and I absolutely love it! Every size piece is useful. They are extremely easy to clean. To prevent staining on the outside, I wash mine as soon as I am done cooking while the pan is still hot. I haven't had a staining problem as others have. I love the glass lids for peaking inside the pot while cooking. The set looks great and I am thrilled with it. No need to spend a fortune for a quality set of cookware.


5 out of 5 stars Great Set at Low Price.   June 28, 2008
I bought these after I got an e-mail from: [...] a website I go to for daily sales. I found these pans for a super price, and free shipping. My wife loves them, and they are best pans we have owned in 33 years of marriage. So far they wash up in a jiffy.
