There are couple very helpful amazon reviews on this hard-anodized KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials cookware set, personally I found this review is the most helpful one:
“I’ve owned more expensive cookware sets, but this moderately priced set from KitchenAid ranks with the best of them. All of my previous cookware was stainless steel or low-end aluminum, so I was not sure what to expect in terms of durability. However, this set has exceeded my expectations. The pans are wonderful to cook with, the non-stick coating beats anything I’ve tried before, the lids fit tightly, and the insulated handles make oven mitts unnecessary. I love how light the pans are — even full they are easy to lift and pour from. One note of caution: The domed lids and upright lid handles mean these pans require a bit more storage space than other sets I’ve used.” – CEG
