Emeril Stainless Steel with Copper and Pouring Spouts Dishwasher Safe 14-Piece Cookware Set, Silver



The most BAM for your buck!!
I have had the 10 piece set for a little over a month now, and I can honestly say I love it! And let me tell you, I cook ALL the time - 7 days a week, and at least 2-3 meals a day. So figure I have used these pots/pans at least 60 times by now. I have cooked everything from rice to steaks to vegetables, soups, pastas, sauces, and even things as delicate as eggs! The bottom heats very evenly, and quickly, and the handles DO NOT get hot, which was very surprising for me. Before I purchased, I was willing to accept the fact that I was more than likely going to have to deal with hot handles, as is the case with most stainless steel cookware, but with these I was pleasantly surprised. Even after being on the stove over high heat for a long period of time, the handles are still cool! But that is not to be confused with the handles on the lids - I find that the handles on the lids may become very warm after prolonged exposure to heat, but that it is generally to be expected if lid handles...

Quality Cookware for a Great Price!
There are no words to describe how pleased I am with my new cookware. It is so much fun to cook again now that I have purchased this set!

Prior to my purchase, I did a lot of research on cookware to make the best choice for my cooking needs and my budget. I definitely made the right choice by purchasing this set.

So far, the performance of this cookware has been outstanding. Heating and boiling are much quicker than with my previous non-stick set (Calphalon), and the cooking is much more even.

My favorite part about this set is that there are pour spouts on some of the pans, and measurement markings inside of them as well. A couple of the lids have strainers, so if you are cooking something that needs to be drained (like pasta or vegetables), it's a one-pot job.

Even though this cookware claims to be oven-safe up to 550 degrees (lids to 350), I have not yet put any of the pans in the oven. Obviously, handles will be too hot without using...

Not very pleased
Emerilware Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set
I have had a set of Emerilware for some time and loved it. I ordered the 10 piece set to get additional pieces to use. The style has changed and the lids do not fit well. The lids are loose fitting and allow too much steam to escape during cooking. The pour spouts with the holes in the lids seems like a good idea, but it allows food to pour out as well as excess liquid. Do not like the new handles and the new style is much lighter weight. Just not happy with the new style cookware.
