Why not choose cookware that brightens up your kitchen décor? KitchenAid's Gourmet Essentials Hard-Base cookware features not only a heavy-gauge aluminum core for fast, even heating, but porcelain enamel exteriors in a choice of bright red and other colors. The three-layer nonstick finish inside each piece is primed with the company's patented hard base ceramic primer for toughness, resulting in long-lasting durability and quick food release. KitchenAid further embellishes these colorful pots with dual-riveted, stainless-steel handles that are wrapped with comfortable, stay-cool silicone grips. The lids, made of 18/10 stainless steel, 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 350 degrees F. Take note: the cookware is not dishwasher-safe, and should not be used on ceramic or glass cooktops. 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 couple eggs, heat soup, and slow-cook rice. 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/5-quart covered sauté is so versatile you'll use it often to fry chicken, braise meats, and whip up vegetable stir-fries. The nonstick finish releases food quickly and makes clean up by hand a snap. KitchenAid covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box
