EMERIL 10 PC Stainless Cookware Set

Stainless Cookware Set
ALL EMERILWARE STAINLESS STEEL COPPER COOKWARE has been designed with all of your cooking needs in mind. The vessel and handle are constructed of 18/10 stainless steel for a long lasting lustre. The lids are made of tempered glass with a rim of 18/10 stainless steel. The handles are heat resistant during stovetop use due to a new Hollow Core technology for increased thickness and an ergonomic grip without the added weight. The base of your EMERILWARE Stainless is crafted by combining aluminum for long lasting heat conductivity with the added benefit of copper for fast heat conduction.

8" fry pan
10" fry pan
1.5 qt. Saucepan w/lid
3 qt Casserole w/lid
3 qt Sautepan w/lid
6 qt Tall Stockpot w/lid

I purchased this set in February 2009 from Boscov's. It was a bargain @ $149.99.
AllClad made this set especially for Emeril.

I was nervous about using it right away. Many of the reviews I read online talked about using a special cleaner on the outside to maintain the shiny exterior. I have yet to purchase it. LOL
My most frequently used pieces are the 3 qt casserole w/ lid as well as the 6qt tall stockpot w/ lid.
The hubby & 1 of the kids are not fans of broccoli. However, after having steamed some fresh broccoli w/ a pinch of seasalt, I received rave reviews. Cooking in stainless steel really makes a difference.
