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 sautéing 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 sauté 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 What's in the Box

Exceptional quality for the price. October 4, 2008

These are great. Nothing sticks to them and the handles do not get hot--even in the oven. The only thing I miss in this set is a pasta strainer.

Perhaps it's just because I had had my previous set for 10 years, and was accustomed to the sizes and capacities. But I find the sizes to be rather odd. The saucepans are all smaller than I consider practical. The largest one would barely hold soup for four people-- forget trying to cook a batch of pasta without pulling out the big stockpot. And the smallest one is so small that the weight of its own handle pulls it over. This means that I can't use it to make a roux, because the ingredients aren't heavy enough to counteract the weight of the handle and keep the pan upright.
Other than that (not insignificant) complaint, I'm pleased with the heat-resistant handles and the even heating of the pans themselves.
Wonderful! September 25, 2008

I love this cookware! I've been using handmedowns all my life. I never knew how different it was to cook with really good cookware. You use much less oil or water and get fantastic results!
Wow!! Excellent set of cookware!! September 15, 2008

I love this set of cookware!! Food just slips and slides around the pan without oil. Nothing sticks. Quick cleanup. And the handles and lids with the silicone are awesome!! Don't even need a potholder!! What I can't figure out is why I waited so long to get them!!
Awesome cookware! September 14, 2008

I purchased this set after my cookware from one of the shopping networks (Ultrex brand) started peeling. Although I felt as though the Ultrex served it's purpose, I really didnt realize how bad it was until I received the KitchenAid set. It cleans much easier than my prior set...eggs wipe right out of the pan easily. I am somewhat of a health nut and I cook fish in the pan without adding any cooking spray or oil at all, and they always come out clean. One of the tricks to nonstick is not overheating the pan...I always heat mine to medium and it does the trick. The pans heat very evenly, the handles stay cool, and the glass lids are great for seeing what you are cooking. I highly recommend this product!
