Consumer Evaluations

This Kitchen Aid cookware set (manufactured by Meyer) comes with the "gourmet" tag since of the windsor style shaping of the two saucepans and the stockpot. Windsor indicates that the sides are especially tall and straight until they reach the best when there is a slight flare. This configuration facilitates faster evaporation of liquids and shortens the time for reduction of sauces. In the case of the stockpot, by placing the lid on the pot you will capture all the liquids and have them return to the broth you are making. The difficult-anodized outer layer more than aluminum is a especially uncomplicated surface to function with. I have other pieces with this finish and acquire it holds up wonderfully. I do not, however, put any of my cookware in the dishwasher regardless of what a manufacturer could say.
I generally like to make confident of what is meant by measurements given by a manufacturer. In this case an eight quart stockpot held eight measured quarts of water, but there was only about three/4 inch of space left to the leading of the pot. I would never ever fill the pot that significantly considering that of the danger of boil-more than for the duration of the cooking period. I placed a 5 pound whole chicken and the vegetables I like to use for stock in the pot and then added four quarts of water. This filled the pot to within 1.5 inches of the best. By keeping the glass lid on the complete time I ended up with a quite fantastic stock and chicken cooked to perfection. I have used the 3 quart sauté pan to prepare a a single-dish entrée. I seriously like this pan because of the unusually tall sides (which are a complete 3 inches tall and have no flare) since that seemed to cut down the spatter when I was sautéing the beef for my dish. So far I have only scrambled eggs in the eight.five inch skillet, but each saucepans have also been utilised. Clean-up has been a actual breeze, even for the sauté pan which was not washed for numerous hours.
One particular of the issues I specifically like about this set is the design of the handles. There is a mixture of stainless steel on top and a silicone material on the bottom for comfort when gripping the handles. These are oven secure to 350 or 400 degrees - I've seen conflicting details about that. The manage joins the pan in a "Y" configuration which offers a definitely really good, sturdy feel to the saucepan or skillet when it has food in it plus the handles are a small shorter than I'm utilised to. These handles are eight inches long, compared to eight.75 inches for a different cookware set I own. There is no accidental twisting of the pan due to the fact it is out of balance.
This set is suitable for cooking on solid plate, radiant ring, ceramic, halogen or gas stoves. My commercial gas range matches up pretty well with every of the pans in this set that I've made use of so far. The only negative comment I have is that I would have liked some sort of smaller pamphlet or brochure describing this set to be included with it. What I got was a enterprise size white envelope with some sheets inside giving me the information and facts about the set. Definitely not really inspirational! Despite that compact quibble, I am searching forward to a large number of years of cooking with this really appealing set of cookware.
EDIT March 19, 2011 - Just a short addition to say how much I am enjoying applying this cookware set. The non-stick coating is the very best of any of the pans I own. It has a rather smooth really feel to it and I haven't discovered anything which can't be cleaned up simply. The silicone padding on the underside of the handles is definitely terrific. Even although it is at all times a beneficial notion to use a potholder, these handles do really remain cooler to the touch than any of my other pans. The stockpot is so tall and narrow that it takes a tiny longer for water in it to come to the boil, but once it is boiling the cooking method goes fairly speedily. I am speaking specifically of cooking pasta in this instance. All in all simply a great set that is going to be employed all the time.

You can cook without the worry of your food sticking. The general construction is outstanding and the lids are amazing with great metal assistance. Heavy gauge hard-anodized aluminum construction offers rapidly and even heat distribution. Twice as tough as stainless steel for maximum durability.
Three layer nonstick surface creates exceptional food release and scratch resistant. CoolGrip manage has 18/ten stainless steel shaft encased in soft silicone rubber. Break resistant glass lid.
ten-Pieces Includes:
1 Quart Covered Saucepan
two Quart Covered Saucepan
three Quart Covered Saucepan
six Quart Covered Stockpot
8'' French Skillet
10'' French Skillet
Oven Safe 400 F according to manufacturer, but I do not feel secure with the rubber/silicone below handles in oven why I give 4 stars.
It does make employing the handles a little less complicated, like stock pot can be lifted when hot. Caution if lid is not seated nicely and any steam escapes towards any handle, that handle will be also hot to touch.
