A cookware set gives you a good value by including the basic pans needed to equip your kitchen. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) for everything from seared tuna to vegetable sauté. This set also includes two Prestige® kitchen tools to let you get started on your next culinary creation.

User Reviews

I bought this a few months ago to get away from the non-stick cookware. This is a very good set with a good variety of sizes. Although I'm not a hard core cook, this cleans up well and heats up quickly (that took some getting used to after the non-stick). I also like the glass lids so you can monitor what's going on. The weight is good without being too heavy and the handles are very comfortable. After comparing this closely to very expensive cookware at a local department store, this is a flat out bargain for the money and it's beautiful. -- Excellent cookware

Had really high hopes for this set but sadly I had an experience just like someone else posted here with the inside base of a pot erupting with corrosion pits and bumps after just one use of boiling water. Very disappointing. Water was not allowed to boil dry in the pot but I do believe the residual heat caused the weak metal to instantly corrode like this. Boiled water in another pot to see if the same thing would happen, only this time I filled the pot up with water again after pouring out the boiling water and this seems to have helped avoid the problem. So, my advice for anyone purchasing this set is to not only not let water boil dry in them but to never let them sit hot without any liquid in them, even after cooking. It's too bad because it's a beautiful looking set but I just don't think it's high enough quality metal. -- One pot didn't even last through first use...

I purchased millenium after I bought enamel set and read instructions not to be used with ceramic tops. Stinless steel makes pots pretty heavy but very durable. Takes awhile for them to heat up on ceramic top, but then they stay hot and consistant. Had some food burn on and had problems getting off, put some vineger and water then let soak for hour and came right off. Food seems to stick less the more I use. -- built to last

I bought this set last year and I am very pleased with it. They look nice, cook evenly and clean up nicely. The silicone wrapped handles are a plus. I can grab these of the stove top bare handed. The price was great. At the time they were $[...]. with a $40 rebate. $69 for this set is a bargain. My only complaint is I wish it were a little heavier. All in all I am very pleased with this set. -- Great Set For The Money

I bought this cook set 3+ months ago and have now used every piece. I got a great deal on Amazon and also got an additional rebate from the manufacturer.

My first time using my first piece (a saucepan) it got a slight discoloration inside. I had water boiling and added salt to the water just prior to cooking pasta. The small discolored spots were a disappointment. They did not clean off using a variety of methods. Since then I have carefully inspected every piece after use and have no problems at all. The discolored spots appear to be on the surface and not through the surface. No other pans discolored, just the first saucepan

I am pleased to have the stainless (!) pans because my previous nonstick pans were degrading and needed to be discarded.

I am pleased with the solid feel and completely steel exterior. They are easy to clean and look sharp.

I do recommend this cook set. It is a great value for the price. Especially if you can also get the rebate!

My only minor quibble is that the saucepans included are all small. It would have been nice to have one of the three a bit larger. -- Very nice set
