Kitchen Aid Cookware: Farberware Accents 10-Piece Cookware Set, Silver Review

This is a good starter set, but if you cook very much I'd go with a higher quality set.When we received this set one pan was uneven and would gently rock back and forth when boiling water (we have a flat ceramic stove top; maybe it doesn't do this on a conventional stove).I use wooden utensils when cooking, hand wash them with a sponge, and let them air dry.However, even with this care the nonstick coating still comes off more than I would have expected.The pans are of a decent weight...not too heavy, not too flimsy.The glass lids are nice (but they do make a popping sound as food is cooking), and the built in strainers are very handy for straining vegetables and large pasta.For the money, they're a great deal, but if you cook much or are wanting a set to last a long time I'd suggest a higher quality brand.I'm going to try this set: Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set It got great reviews in Cook's Illustrated.

Product Description:
Stylishly designed and an exceptional value to boot, the Farberware Accents 10-piece nonstick cookware set in silver comes complete with the pans you'll use the most in your kitchen. This set includes 1-, 1-1/2- and 2-quart saucepans (each with a lid), 5-quart Dutch oven (with lid), and 7- and 10-inch open skillets.
The saucepans are great for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, while the Dutch oven is ideal for both braising meats and simmering soups and stews. And the skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Constructed from aluminum to ensure consistent heat-transfer, the exterior of each pan is finished with a durable, brightly colored coating that's both attractive and easy to clean. The pans feature a scratch-resistant nonstick surface that makes clean-up a breeze and promotes healthier cooking with less oil. The durably riveted stainless steel handles are complemented by comfortable silicone thumb rests.
The glass lids allow you to monitor cooking without losing moisture or nutrients. And the lids for the saucepans also feature Farberware's clever straining-skirt that allows food to be drained quickly and safely with just a twist of the stay-cool silicone-enhanced handle. They're oven safe to 350 degrees F. Dishwasher safe. Limited lifetime warranty.
