This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a sauté pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sautéing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.
* Includes 1.5 and 3 qt. covered saucepans, 6 qt. covered stockpot, 2.75 qt./10 in. covered saute, 8 in. and 10 in. french skillets
* Porcelain exterior is easy to clean while the cookware provides even heating.
* A nonstick interior lets you enjoy low fat cooking while allowing foods to slide out of the pan easily.
* Grippy silicone handles are comfortable in your hand and oven safe to 400°F.
