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

5 out of 5 stars KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials--No regrets   February 8, 2010
M. K. Hanson (WDM, IA USA)
It was time to replace my current nonstick cookware. I'd read some concerning information about non-stick coatings and had heard that stainless can be more durable in the long run. Based on reviews about this (and other stainless) set/s, I opted for this one for budget purposes and the piece sizes of this particular set. I'm very happy with my purchase. I've had no trouble with cleanup. I've run a few pieces through the dishwasher and they've come out looking great. They feel solid but not overly heavy to work with. The only thing I miss so far is having glass lids (that I had with my previous set). Other than that I'm very happy. I'm not sure I'm ready to give up my non-stick skillets for cooking eggs yet though....


4 out of 5 stars Excellent cookware, hard to clean.   February 6, 2010

I love these pots and pans. I was tired of replacing my nonstick cookware constantly due to scratches so decided to try stainless instead. I was not disappointed, they cook meats so much better. The only trades from non-stick was having to use more oils so that foods don't stick and the pans are definately harder to clean. Much better to clean right away or soaking right away and baking soda works the best.


4 out of 5 stars Very well designed   February 5, 2010

We really like this cookware; well designed, and the handles make it easy not to burn your little fingers! The only limitation is there is not a large saucepan, but the ease of use, good heat conduction for cooking, well fitting lids make this a very good purchase.


4 out of 5 stars Very nice set for the price!   January 31, 2010

I haven't used this set yet, but it is a nice, durable feeling set that is weighted just about right for me. Not too heavy, not feather light. The lids sit down inside the pots, not over the tops, which I like. Once again, I haven't used the set yet, but I think for the price(just over $100 on sale and free shipping from Amazon)I won't be disappointed.

I do love these pans, I searched all over for new pans when I got a new stove with a glass top, my 30 year old pans all had rounded bottoms! I did NOT want non stick, I wanted stainless...very hard to find. I could find sets with regular pans, but the fry pans were non-stick. These are great, clean up well, the brushed finish is easy to care for, the handles are cool touch and solid. They are heavy but not too heavy, some of those sets you have to be a weight lifter to use. I highly recommend this set.
