From Cuisinart's Chef's Classic series comes this handsome, durable cookware with triple-layer construction. The exterior is hard-anodized aluminum, which is even stronger than stainless steel, with an encapsulated pure aluminum core for quick, even heating. The interiors of the pots and pans feature Cuisinart's Quantanium nonstick finish, a high-quality, long-lasting finish internally reinforced with titanium. Little oil or butter is needed when cooking on this ultra-smooth surface, and low to medium heat is recommended, along with non-metal utensils. All the lids are break-resistant glass, and handles are pure stainless steel, riveted for strength. Every piece is oven-safe to 500 degrees F. Cuisinart puts together all the most commonly used pots and pans in this comprehensive 17-piece set. Three covered saucepans hold 1-1/2, 2, and 3 quarts, perfect for those everyday tasks such as warming soup, cooking rice, or steaming vegetables. The 8- and 10-inch skillets slide out perfect French toast and pancakes, not to mention eggs over easy with bacon. Use the covered 12-inch skillet or 4-quart covered sautÃ© pan, both with helper handles, for stir-fried vegetables, sautÃ©ed seafood, or braised beef. The covered 9-quart stockpot is perfect for big batches of chili and hearty soups. Two bonus items are the all-purpose covered steamer and deeper pasta insert that fit the stockpot and do away with having to use a colander for draining. Cleanup is easy, just a quick wash by hand takes care of any food residue. Nonstick, hard-anodized cookware is best kept out of the dishwasher. Cuisinart covers this gift-worthy cookware set with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box 17-piece cookware set.

This versatile cookware set from Cuisinart comprises a roomy 8-quart stockpot for soups and pasta, 3- and 1-1/2-quart saucepans, 8- and 10-inch skillets, and a 3-1/2-quart saute pan. The stockpot, saute pan, and saucepans come with tempered glass covers, designed to seal in flavor without hiding the food from view. Each piece is made from durable hard-anodized aluminum that heats up quickly without hot spots, and each is lined with an advanced Quantanium nonstick coating. Quantanium is designed for healthy low-fat cooking, allowing even delicate foods like fish to be cooked without sticking. Every pan cleans up quickly and easily, and is tough enough for use with metal utensils, giving years of trouble-free service. The securely riveted stay-cool steel handles on each pan are oven-safe to 500 degrees F, so food can be browned on the stovetop then transferred to the oven to finish cooking. Together, the six pans in this set will handle almost any everyday cooking task, making them ideal for setting up a new kitchen or replacing older cookware. --Simon Leake What's in the Box 1-1/2-quart saucepan with lid, 3-quart saucepan with lid, 3-1/2-quart saute pan with helper handle and lid, 8-quart stockpot with lid, 8-inch open skillet, and 10-inch open skillet.

Circulon Total 10-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set

Circulon was an early innovator in the production of hard-anodized, nonstick aluminum cookware. This 10-piece set of Circulon Total brings great value, looks, and cooking to your kitchen. Each piece is constructed of hard-anodized aluminum, a non-reactive material stronger than stainless steel that cooks without hotspots, and which is finished inside and out with a nonstick finish. This provides not only quick release of foods but easy cleanup. Look for the raised concentric circles inside a Circulon pan: this is its famous Hi-Low technology. The raised circles take the abuse of utensils, leaving the low areas untouched. Thus, the nonstick finish lasts much longer than that on many other brands. In this set you'll find the ever-handy 1- and 2-quart covered saucepans; an 8-quart covered stockpot for stews, pasta, and corn-on-the-cob; 8- and 10-inch open French skillets for just about any frying need; and a 4-quart covered sautÃ© pan with deep, straight sides that can handle stir-fries, simmering meat dishes, and plenty more. A helper handle assists in lifting. Each piece features a phenolic handle that is oven-safe to 350 degrees F. Also oven-safe, the 18/10 stainless-steel lids are significantly domed for sending moisture back into the pan. For best care of this inclusive set, wash the pieces by hand. Circulon guarantees you'll be satisfied for life. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box 10-piece cookware set. The set consists of: 1- and 2-quart covered saucepans; 8-quart covered stockpot; 8- and 10-inch open French skillets; 4-quart covered sautÃ© with helper handle. 10 pieces total.
