Product Description

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.

Customer Reviews

Good "starter" set...
This is a good starter set, but if you cook very much I'd go with a higher quality set. When we received this set one pan was uneven and would gently rock back and forth when boiling water (we have a flat ceramic stove top; maybe it doesn't do this on a conventional stove). I use wooden utensils when cooking, hand wash them with a sponge, and let them air dry. However, even with this care the nonstick coating still comes off more than I would have expected. The pans are of a decent weight...not too heavy, not too flimsy. The glass lids are nice (but they do make a popping sound as food is cooking), and the built in strainers are very handy for straining vegetables and large pasta. For the money, they're a great deal, but if you cook much or are wanting a set to last a long time I'd suggest a higher quality brand. I'm going to try this set: Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set It got great reviews in Cook's Illustrated.

Gave these as a gift
We gave this cookware set to my mother-in-law for Christmas and she has raved about them ever since. They are very easy to clean as nothing sticks to the non-stick cooking surfaces. She said they are "too pretty to use" so if you are looking for cookware that is pretty and easy to clean then this set is for you.

Disappointed
I bought this set to replace a set of T-Fal pots/pans I've had for years where the non-stick surface has scraped off from use. But the handles are metal which means they get hot when something is cooking. I don't like using pot holders (too cumbersome), so I plan on returning this set. Very disappointing, otherwise this set seems like a great value.
