This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a sauté pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sautéing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.
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 10-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 larger 6-quart stockpot with two loop handles works admirably for family-sized batches of pasta, chili, soup, and corn-on-the-cob. 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

Great pots and pans set:
I have had this set for three months and love it! It cooks evenly, fast (on medium to high heat), and nothing sticks to it. It also looks great on my ceramic black and stainless steel stove.
We Love These Pans!:
We own these pans, we got our set at Costco. We loved them so much we found them online at Amazon to buy for our Father in Law. Nothing sticks to these pans, they are super easy to clean and I've never had a better set of pans. I've had more expensive pots, but not easier to work with pots. Love Them!
KitchenAid cook ware:
This product is not recommended for the dishwasher but, it is so easy to clean even if left overnight. I am convinced that any nonstick anodized cookware when put into a dishwasher eventually will began to peel. That is what happened to my old cookware, started peeling around the rims. I plan on buying some addtional pieces. KitchenAid is a good company.
Best Cookware I have ever owned.:
I've had numerous cheap-o non stick sets over the years. The last set was hard anodized but not good quality. I recently got a new glass top stove and found my 10 year old set was not going to work as the bottoms are not flat anymore. I got this set on the Friday sale. What a wonderful surprise when they arrived. These pans are good quality weight but not heavy that it makes them hard to lift. You cook on low or medium heat. I'm used to turnng stuff up on high then turning it down but the instructions... more info
