KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set
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 12-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 large 8-quart stockpot with two loop handles works admirably for family-sized batches of pasta, chili, soup, and corn-on-the-cob. Finally, the 12-inch covered sauté pan with its helper handle tackles generous quantities of fried chicken, braised meats, stir-fries, and poached salmon. 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.
Customer Reviews
I am very pleased with them, had them for almost 2 months and no problems. Glad I bought them early, because I paid only $ 134.99 (after a discount of $ 22.00) from Amazon, now they are charging $ 237 for them. They clean very easily, without spot, even if you let the food sit in them during the night. No major scratches, if you take care of them, that will be well. The covers are great, I like the glass, nice to see how the food is cooking without having to lift the lid. The cover handles are a lil awkward, does not allow to stack the covers on top of each other. And if you do not hold exactly covers the field of plastic handles, which involved part is hot, but these are minor issues. Overall a very good product and so happy I was able to throw my el-cheapo pots away. I hope to have these for years to come.
I was given a set of stainless steel cookware for Christmas last year, but returned and bought this place and enjoyed cooking with the pots during the past year. Like someone who is easily distracted and is self-taught in the arts of cooking, non-stick cookware that I could go directly from oven to oven and cook evenly. My other requirements were silicone handles and glass lids. I absolutely love this pot and cook with them almost every day. Cook the eggs are large and are so easy to wipe clean after use. My in-laws have purchased cookware made of titanium (about 1,000 dollars) and is worth every penny. But, my mother-in-law waited 30 years. to spend so much and after using my set, told me that my pans are the best (and this Kitchenaid set is very convenient). I recommend to everyone I know. If you are contemplating the set of 10 pieces, I say spend the extra and get this series, because the QT 5. covered pan is my most prized, and the QT 8. prevent recurrences pot boil the pasta. Definitely worth the money and then some. Great cookware!
