Customer Review: Get Yourself AND your Children a KitchenAid Hard Anodized Cookware set.
Summary: 5 Stars
After a broken shoulder and crushed muscles left me too weak to lift or scrub my wonderful, heavy, thick-bottomed stainless steel cookware set, we tried out a KitchenAid and a Calphalon hard anodized pan. We then purchased this awesome KitchenAid set because of the silicone handle advantage and because, as a former kitchen designer, I knew that for several decades KitchenAid had made the best dishwasher and mixer on the market. I loved that the non-stick properties of this set allowed me to now cook without any oils (healthier). There was only a minimal adjustment or learning curve from my high-temp tolerant stainless set, I only had to reduced or fluctuate temperatures slightly. The pain and strain of pre-washing/scrubbing my stainless pans was replaces with a few seconds of effortless swiping, even after my son baked sticky caramel rolls in the large skillet! Thanks to the silicone handles I no longer needed to reach for a pot holder before touching the handles (except for oven baking, which will always require pot holders). This set also has clear glass lids, which I consider an essential necessity in cookware. The cooking performance of this set has been so outstanding that I don't intend to go back to my stainless steel set after my shoulder and arm heals.
Also, knowing that our 3 `flying the nest' children have had trouble learning to cook on the thin, affordable cookware that they could afford (all 3 were constantly burning their food), and their inexpensive sets have been a waste of money because their cheap cookware sets only last about a year; we took advantage of the outstanding Amazon discounts and bought the KitchenAid 12 piece hard anodized sets for them. They love their Kitchenaid hard anodized cookware as much as we do. With better cookware they are cooking successfully and are also saving themselves a lot of money by eating healthier, home cooked meals and they won't waste even more money by repeatedly replacing poor quality cookware.
What I have learned is this: 1) Hard anodized cookware is better for reducing carpo-tunnel, arthritis and other body strain risks while still allowing cooks to sear meats and perform almost all other higher temp cooking tasks 2) YOUNG ADULTS WILL LEARN TO COOK AND THEY'LL SAVE THEMSELVES A LOT OF MONEY WITH THE GIFT OF A GOOD COOKWARE SET 3) cheap cookware is, more often than not, a waste of money in many ways. 4) With this outstanding line of cookware KitchenAid has again proven themselves to be dedicated to providing top quality products to cooking enthusiasts at less than top dollar prices!!
