We purchased this set as a Christmas gift for our daughter and her family. When she opened the gift we were all very pleased with the appearance of the cookware as well as the weight of the pans. The cookware has been used on a daily basis since Chritmas and is performing well. No scorched or burned foods such as you might get from using pans without a heavy bottom. The fact they they should not be put in the dishwasher is not an issue because these pans clean up so easily. It is nice to have attractive cookware that can go directly from stove or oven to the table. I would not hesitate to make this purchase again. What a wonderful wedding gift it would make.

I just received his set about a week ago. Not a long time to test it just yet but giving my review on the quality thus far. But first, let me say I ordered this set through Amazon on a Friday afternoon and received it Saturday morning! I was floored at how quickly it arrived...and with free shipping! Ok, so for the set. I am no regular cook but want to start so I did weeks and weeks of research before settling on this set. I wanted a set that had 12 pieces, clear lids and the covered handles and that could go in the over. I researched between stainless or hard anodized and it seemed the hard anodized was even stronger than stainless yet had the non-stick benefit. I opened the box and was leary of what the pans might feel like in my hand as I had never seen these in person. This is a super nice heavy set of cookware! I feel like a gourmet chef using them! They are very substantial and the hard anodized surface is all one piece inside, out, and bottom. Very quality stuff! I have only cooked with them once so far and was so impressed with the clean-up. Very easy, even easier than my old non-stick set. I highly recommend this set to the beginning or very experienced cooks!

I own this same set and thought they were so good I gave another set to my suegra for Christmas along with all the KitchenAid utinsels.

We purchased this cookware less than a year ago. In a short time, our gas stove had licked the finish right off the exterior of every pot and pan. Totally discolored, and a decent percentage of the surface is down to the bare metal. Totally unacceptable.
I sent one of the pots and a picture of all pots and pans to the warranty address... have not heard back and it's been 2 months.
Based on the other reviews, we might have received a defective set, but we're totally baffled, and not nearly as confident about the KitchenAid brand as we were previously... especially with the totally unacceptable customer service.
Strangely enough, it's the inside of the cookware that has disappointed us in past purchases (Pampered Chef and even ScanPan), and the insides of these pots still look new.

I purchased this set of cookware 18 months ago, and I haven't regretted it. I haven't noticed any wear, even on the 8-inch skillet that gets used every day for fried eggs. I like the glass lids and the stay cool handles (although I wish there was a little less exposed metal on the lid handles - I've burnt myself on it, but only a couple times). I went with the 12-piece set instead of the 10-piece because I wanted the 12-inch (I think 3QT) saute pan which isn't included in the 10 piece set, and I wanted an 8QT stock pot instead of the 6QT that comes with the other set. It was a good choice for me because the 12-inch saute pan is great. I use it all the time. I call it my chicken pan. It turns out, though, that I don't really use the 8QT stockpot much - I thought I'd use it for soups and stews - but for me it's too big, too deep. I saved up and got a 5.5 QT Le Creuset French oven for that (and more), but that cost me much more than this whole set! The 3 saucepans are nice, but I have a gripe with the 1 QT - with the lid off and empty it tends to tip over. But that's a minor annoyance. You're not going to hand this cookware down to your children, but the beauty of this mid-range set is that it's much better than cheap cookware and it'll serve you very well while (if like me) you save up to buy the expensive stuff a piece at a time.
