KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 10-Piece Brushed Stainless Steel Cookware Set

This is a solid set of cookware. Made very well. I like that the sides are brushed and don't show spots, fingerprints, etc. Just wish they would make more pieces to go with this set.

After 31 years I began having trouble with the handles on my old set of pots and pans. I went on a search to find a high quality but a not too expensive replacement set. I searched consumer reports, Sam's Club, Costco, numerous stores and the reviews I found on this site and purchased the KitchenAid set. The look and feel was just what I wanted, well made, heavy but not too heavy. I used them to prepare my Thanksgiving meal and was very satified. They were perfect

Looked great, received in a very timely fashion but after using only a couple of times the pans spot even though hand washed.

I wanted a set of All Clad pans. But I didn't want to pay for them. Consumer Reports gave this set a very high rating - higher than All Clad's, so I decided to risk it. I'm extremely pleased with the quality, durability and appearance of this set of pans. The price is unbeatable. Highly recommended.

First, I was looking for cookware that didn't have non-stick surfaces. I am getting concerned about the health risks and had thrown away all the old stuff with Teflon. While doing the research for the replacements, I found a review about this KitchenAid set that expressed another of my concerns...sticking food. The writer of the review fried an egg the first time he used the set. Helped by cooking spray, he had prepared a beautiful egg that didn't stick. The best way to test anything is to repeat the experiment, which I did with equally great results. I love this set. High quality and no non-stick worries.
