Cookware Sets

Cookware sets provide the basics and more for any kitchen. They're available in a wide range of styles and materials and each has features that are appealing for many types of cooking. Whether you're a novice, gourmet or feeding an active family, you'll find a collection to meet your needs.

Kitchen sets come in all configurations from a grouping of two pans to a multiple piece collection that will outfit any dream space. Basic sets typically include two skillets or saute pans in different sizes, a saucepan and a soup pot with interchangeable lids to match each piece. From there, you can select a range of specialty items in expanded groupings.

Typically, a cookware set is more economical than buying individual pieces. Knowing which pots and pans you'll use the most will help with selection. If you prepare pasta on a regular basis, you'll want to choose a strainer and stock pot. Cooking larger family meals means you'll want to include a roasting pan. Larger sets also can provide baking pans and utensils.

Stainless and multi-ply, or clad, pots and pans remain favorites for many types of cooking tasks. These typically are dishwasher safe, although most manufacturers recommend hand washing all cookware to preserve its luster and to provide longer life. These are also exceptional heat conductors and you'll find products that incorporate an aluminum or copper insert or core that goes up the sides of a skillet or pot. These are not non-stick surfaces, however, so a little oil in the bottom after heating will keep foods nice and moist without burning.

Anodized options, also using a clad process with aluminum core, include non-stick surfaces with excellent release properties. They're hard-wearing with the proper care and you can enjoy cooking many types of foods with these pots, pans and skillets. They won't react to acidic foods and with the use of plastic or wood utensils, the surface wear is nominal even after extended heavy use.

Porcelain enameled cookware is an attractive choice, too. In this group, you can select a range of bright colors that will complement any kitchen space. These are available in all the basic and gourmet styles for every type of food preparation imaginable. A non-stick coating adds to the versatility and also is an aid in low-fat, healthier cooking. Some collections incorporate silicone handles that can go directly from the cook top into a high-heat oven as well.

Whichever cookware set you choose, you'll discover great value and outstanding wearability. We know that in order to enjoy terrific food, it's important to have the proper utensils. They should also be stylish, functional and easy to care for. That's why you'll see many name manufacturers here that are known for their influence at the leading edge of design and craftsmanship, plus their unparalleled quality.

Even better, each piece is selected with today's fast-paced lifestyle in mind. Each aspect of the preparation and heating process factors into what type of cookware you select. Within each set, you'll find pieces that you'll use time and again for years to come.
