KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials Brushed Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 10-piece cookware set includes a 1-, 2- and 3-quart covered saucepan, an 8-quart covered stockpot, and an 8- and 10-inch open French skillet. Product is made from the world's best 18/10 stainless steel to provide exceptional luster and durability. The brushed stainless steel exterior provides a professional look and easy to maintain surface. The base is constructed of a stainless steel base that fully encapsulates an aluminum disk. This provides excellent heat distribution and no hot spots. The cool grip handles are stainless steel shafts with silicone rubber inserts that are oven safe up to 400 degrees.

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
