Beautiful Lightweight Set - Comparisons w/ other SS sets
By R. Phillips
This is a very nice set of lightweight stainless steel cookware. If you are shopping around and trying to compare the differences, I will try to help you distinguish the features from a couple of other brands that I currently own. In addition to this set, I have the Rachael Ray stainless and also the Kitchen Aid stainless.First of all, the Emeril pots and pans are by far the lightest weight. The Rachael Ray comes in the middle with very thick bottoms and thinner sides, and the Kitchen Aid is by bar the thickest and heaviest. I think what you want here is going to come down to personal preference. The RR and the Emeril brands have clear glass lids, while the KA is all stainless. All of the Emeril pieces are standard sizes, whereas you get really deep pieces in the RR collection. The KA pieces are just substantial.The handles on the RR and KA have protective grips, whereas the Emeril handles are all stainless. I think this is going to personal preference as well. Do you want a sleek all stainless appearance or is having protective grip handles more important?The Emeril set has some nice features that you don't find in the others. The pots all have measurement lines engraved inside the pots so you can fill to your specific needs without having to grab a measuring cup. The saucepan has pour spouts on each side with a lid you can twist to keep it sealed while cooking then open for pouring from the pan. Also included in this set is a vegetable steamer/strainer basket to fit in your large pot (I love this!). You also get the small wok shape pan.Overall, this is a great set of cookware with nice features. When compared with the others for cooking performance, I don't notice much difference. When I begin cooking more soups and veggies for the winter I may notice and I will post then any marked differences such as will it hold heat as well since it is a thinner stainless. It's dishwasher safe and I will post any reliability notes in the future. This set looks sleek and is easy to maneuver if you prefer lightweight pots and pans. The extra features are a nice plus. I'm glad I've added it to my cooking arsenal. - I'm posting a pic so you can see actual set in kitchen.

Stainless steel cookware is great to look at and cook with, we can all agree on that. Depending on your style preferences, one brand may suit your needs better than others. This Emeril set follows the same path - great cookware, but...it's not as good as others.Most of my cooking is currently done with Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set. It's beautiful, tough, heats evenly, and...overall, better than this Emeril set, though Emeril does win out in a couple of features.First off, both sets look awesome. Both are made in China, so it's a level playing field. This Emeril set has glass lids, whereas the Cooks Standard has mirror-shiny stainless lids. I prefer the steel lids because the glass looks cheaper, and when I'm cooking, looking "through" the glass usually does nothing at all: I see steam.Next, both sets heat quickly and evenly. Preheat and apply some olive oil, and you have yourself a stick-free pan, either way. But again, this Emeril set lags behind a bit: The Cooks Standard set has handles that DO NOT heat up. Emeril...they get warmer and warmer; cook long enough, and they're going to be hot. Also, the surface area of the smallest skillets is different, with the Emeril one having quite a small surface that actually comes into contact with the heating element. It's deeper than the Cooks Standard, but I don't use a frying pan to cook top-down; more heating area is better for how and what I cook.Unpacking this set for the first time, I felt the Emeril pots and pans felt a bit lightweight to what I was used to. Then I had to put my theory to the test. The Cooks Standard set has more metal: maybe not much, but in one case, the Emeril 1.5qt saucepan weighed in at 1.484 pounds, while the Cooks Standard was 1.746 pounds. Whether it affects the cooking or not, I can't really tell and don't notice a difference, but after simply handling them, the Cooks just feels more solid.But all is not lost with this Emeril set: the smallest saucepan has fluted sides to make it much easier to pour liquids. Also, the lid comes with a straining side built-in (so you can turn the lid and pour out liquid, without food coming out too.) I thought those were pretty nice, and wish my other set had them. In addition, the Emeril set has measuring marks inside the saucepans, which, I suppose, might come in handy. (Then again, they're printed not etched, and since these are fairly new, it's difficult to tell if they'll rub off with a month of cooking.) Another thing that bothered me just a tiny bit: of all the stainless cookware sets I've owned, ALL of them have had 18/10 printed or etched somewhere on them. I couldn't find such designation anywhere on this Emeril set.Overall, this is a good set, but if you want a better set AND to save some money (though you do get 2 fewer pieces), go with the Cooks Standard. Both have a lifetime warranty. I gave this set the same 4 stars that I gave the Cooks Standard because they both perform well, but if I had to cook with only one set (or buy only one set), it wouldn't be this one...

Acceptable for the price
By Dave Millman
This is an acceptable set of cookware, which will serve you just fine if you are a college student cooking a few meals a week, or you are buying a set for infrequent use at a vacation home, etc. It is made of bright stainless steel, which we prefer over nonstick for many reasons, google "nonstick" to see why. This set cleans up nicely, and the lids fit well.However, I recommend against purchasing this set for heavy, every-day use. Reasons: 1. The metal is quite thin. This makes the pots lighter than others with thicker walls, but they do not transfer the heat as well. Definitely not for gourmet dishes when heat control is critical! 2. The handles are metal, no insulation. This is not much of a problem on the long handles, but three pots have short handles. This is especially inconvenient for the large "everyday" wok-like pot, which you will likely want to tip as you cook.I wanted to give this set three and a half stars. As I thought about whether to round up or down, I noticed that this set is billed as a "Restaurant Chef's" set. A set like this wouldn't last six months in a restaurant, where they cook dozens of dishes per night in each pan. Emeril wouldn't be caught dead using them. These little deceptions were enough cause for me to round down to 3 stars. You can do better with other sets.
