KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 12-Piece Hard-Base Cookware Set, Red

An excellent value, this 12-piece set consists of the most frequently used kitchen pots and pans and makes a great gift set. The two skillets, measuring 8 and 10 inches in diameter, handle everyday frying and sautéing needs, from eggs-over-easy to grilled cheese sandwiches to fish filets, then crepes for dessert. Three saucepans holding 1, 2, and 3 quarts let you boil a couple eggs, heat soup, and slow-cook rice. The large 8-quart stockpot with two loop handles works admirably for family-sized batches of pasta, chili, soup, and corn-on-the-cob. Finally, the 12-inch/5-quart covered sauté is so versatile you'll use it often to fry chicken, braise meats, and whip up vegetable stir-fries. The nonstick finish releases food quickly and makes clean up by hand a snap. KitchenAid covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri
