Amazon.com Review:
There's something clean and pure about cookware that's stainless steel inside and out. This stylishly finished version from KitchenAid's Gourmet Essentials series features a brightly polished interior that discourages food from sticking, and a handsomely brushed exterior with a shiny band along the rim. Each pan is entirely constructed of premium 18/10 stainless steel, except for the encapsulated aluminum disk in the base (aluminum makes a superior conductor of heat), and the silicone grip encasing the handle. Even the tight-fitting lids are stainless steel. Each piece is oven-safe to 400 degrees F and is dishwasher-safe.

Whether you want to fry up pancakes for breakfast, warm soup for lunch, or feed chili to a crowd, this set more than accommodates your most typical cooking needs. The 1-, 2-, and 3-quart saucepans all come with lids, as does the large 8-quart stockpot. The 8- and 10-inch French skillets are nice and deep, great for poaching eggs or stir-frying veggies. Stainless steel cooks most efficiently at medium heat, and can be used to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven. An excellent value, the set is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Easy to clean and long lasting
I bought this set about 2 years ago as a cheap replacement to my calphalon. This is so much better then my uber-expensive pans. If I had known how pleased I would be with these pans, I would have save hundreds over the years. They are easy to clean, you can use steel wool or any other cleaning tool on them with no concerns. They shine up like brand new. Stick them in the dishwasher with no worries. No concerns with food burning as they seem to heat pretty evenly. The lids hold up well. The stock ... Read More

A high quality set be every meaning of the word. Highly recomended. They are not non stick. Don't expect them to be non stick. They are so far high quality . Bar Keepers Friend for cleaning stains works well
Rating: - GOOD EVERYDAY COOKWARE
I've had the cookware since Thanksgiving and I really like it. It is very sturdy and I like the insulated handles on the pans and lids. The straight sides make it easy to pour from the pots. Being stainless, they are very easy to clean, and you don't have to worry about using metal utensils with them. I like the 1,2,and 3 qt size pots as they are not that easy to find in the stores as a set. The stock pot is a good size and stands up well to higher temperatures without warping thanks to the heft ... Read More

After years of using non-stick, I thought I would venture into stainless steel since my non-stick pans never seem to last all that long before I would notice chipping and wear.However, I must confess that I was a bit nervous with the whole idea after reading reviews on different brands how hard it is to cook with stainless steel.I found this KitchenAid set and asked my husband to get them for me for Christmas and I must say that I am very impressed with how well they are made and how easy they ...
