J.A. Henckels International Classic Clad 10-Piece Cookware Set Review

I purchased this set because I was replacing my 16 year old radiant cooktop with a new induction cooktop and most of my older cookware was not induction capable.

I decided that these were a reasonable alternative to the more expensive All Clad cookware and, at this price, if they didn't work out well I could always afford to replace them.

I used them originally with the old radiant cooktop and was quite impressed with how quickly they heated, how well the cooked, and how easy they were to clean. I had expected stainless steel to be hard to clean but these are not. At times I will need to soak them for an hour or so prior to cleaning but most of the time that is not necessary. So far we have used regular dishwashing liquid to clean them.

I'm even more impressed with their performance with my new GE induction cooktop and I particularly like the interior volume markings. It is amazing how I can "titrate" the level of simmering/bubbling/boiling with the combination of the induction cooktop and this cookware.

In short, these are very cost effective, functional, and attractive.

J.A. Henckels International Classic Clad 10-Piece Cookware Set Specifications

Clad inside and out in gleaming stainless steel, the pots and pans in this set get a new kitchen up and running in no time. Included are one- and two-quart lidded saucepans, a three-quart lidded sauté pan, six-quart lidded stock pot, and open 8- and 10-inch frying pans. The long handles, riveted for strength and curved for comfort and control, stay cool thanks to their hollow design and V-connection. Cooks who like to hang pots and pans within easy reach will appreciate the generously sized hole in the handle ends. Whisks, spoons, and cleaning brushes all glide smoothly along the curved inner contour of the pans, and the stainless-steel lids fit snugly on the flared, easy-pour rims.

J.A. Henckels International, the economical division of Zwilling J.A. Henckels, makes the durable Classic Clad series for serious home cooks. An aluminum core sandwiched between the stainless steel layers distributes heat evenly not just across the bottom of the pot but up the sides, and requires only low to medium temperatures. As well as being oven- and broiler-safe up to 500 degrees F, each pot or pan features a brightly polished magnetic stainless-steel exterior safe for all types of stovetop burners: gas, electric, ceramic, induction, and halogen. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior resists sticking, won't react to acidic foods, and welcomes metal utensils. Henckels recommends washing Classic Clad pieces by hand to retain the mirror finish, and covers the cookware with a lifetime warranty against defects. Except for the frying pans, each pot shows liter and quart markings, and every piece comes wrapped in a soft, drawstring gift/storage bag. --Ann Bieri

Excellent design - J -
The ergonomic handles make these pots and pans much better than any other similar pots and pans available. The handles really do stay cool, and they make the pans a lot easier to lift and move. These pans heat very evenly. They do not have a nonstick surface, a feature I prefer. I have a glass cook top stove and usually use a medium low setting for foods that are cooked without water. Baking soda works well for cleaning any residue that sticks to the pan when a higher heat is used. I never use scratchy pads or commercial scouring powders to clean these pans, just baking soda on a dish cloth or liquid dish detergent and warm water. The lids are very convenient, both to use and to store. I prefer these metal lids to the glass lids that come with many pans.



Love this set! - K. Boren - New York, NY
This is a great set. To clean I would suggest BOn Ami. HEats evenly, easy to clean and maintain.



Excellent, superb quality cookware! - D. Moore - Cleveland, OH
I've owned this set of cookware for over two years, and I love them! The packaging was the first sign of quality. Everything is individually placed in plastic bags, then placed in cloth bags. They are superb quality, sturdy, very well-constructed, good looking, heat evenly, and I expect them to last a very, very long time. They've tarnished slightly, but it does not affect the results, and may be caused by occassionally cleaning them in the dishwasher. They clean up nicely for non-non-stick pans. :) They are a bit pricey, but if you want long lasting cookware that produces consistent results without requiring special care, treat yourself to this awesome set!

KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set Review

For the price, I didn't expect these to be as heavy as they were. I mean heavy in a good way; heavy = durable. I like the glass lids, although it would be nice to have a little vent hole. The grips are wonderful, they definitely do not get hot. The outsides of the pots clean up as easily as the insides, which surprised me. And, so far, the insides have performed well. Food comes off easily, they clean up very easily. How long they last like that remains to be seen. I've never had non-stick last very long. But, so far so good. No sign of any trouble. The smallest pot is pretty small, and I haven't had a need to use it yet, but the largest pot is the perfect size. And, on Amazon, the 12 piece set is priced less than I've seen the 10 piece set everywhere else, so, it's like that smallest pot is a freebie, anyway. I have found the "even heating" doesn't apply to the skillet. Not that I expected the whole bottom to get as hot as the parts that are just above the flame, but, since these are made of a product that are supposed to be the best at even heating, I guess I expected it to perform a little better in that sense. But, it's no worse than any other skillet I've ever used except for my iron skillets. Most of the reviews I've read are pretty accurate: these are GREAT for the price. They're far better than more expensive sets I've had.

KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set Overview

From KitchenAid's Gourmet Essentials line comes this cookware set made of hard-anodized aluminum. Durable, handsomely finished in matte charcoal gray, and known for its exceptional heat distribution and retention properties, hard-anodized cookware is a very popular choice for the home chef. KitchenAid embellishes these pots with stainless-steel handles, riveted for strength and wrapped with cushy, stay-cool silicone grips. The lids, made of break-resistant glass for optimum viewing, also feature silicone-wrapped handles, highly arched to enable easy grasping with a potholder or oven mitt. Both the pans and lids are oven-safe up to 400 degrees F.

An excellent value, this 12-piece set consists of the most frequently used kitchen pots and pans and makes a great gift set. The two skillets, measuring 8 and 10 inches in diameter, handle everyday frying and sautéing needs, from eggs-over-easy to grilled cheese sandwiches to fish filets, then crepes for dessert. Three saucepans holding 1, 2, and 3 quarts let you boil a single egg, heat soup, and slow-cook a creamy risotto with wild mushrooms. The large 8-quart stockpot with two loop handles works admirably for family-sized batches of pasta, chili, soup, and corn-on-the-cob. Finally, the 12-inch covered sauté pan with its helper handle tackles generous quantities of fried chicken, braised meats, stir-fries, and poached salmon. The nonstick finish releases food quickly and makes clean up by hand a snap. It's best to keep the nonstick cookware out of the dishwasher. KitchenAid covers the set with a one-year, hassle-free replacement warranty. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

All the positive reviews must not cook with gas - Prime Devotee - Eastern PA USA
We purchased this cookware less than a year ago. In a short time, our gas stove had licked the finish right off the exterior of every pot and pan. Totally discolored, and a decent percentage of the surface is down to the bare metal. Totally unacceptable.

I sent one of the pots and a picture of all pots and pans to the warranty address... have not heard back and it's been 2 months.

Based on the other reviews, we might have received a defective set, but we're totally baffled, and not nearly as confident about the KitchenAid brand as we were previously... especially with the totally unacceptable customer service.

Strangely enough, it's the inside of the cookware that has disappointed us in past purchases (Pampered Chef and even ScanPan), and the insides of these pots still look new.



Great value mid-range cookware set - Philly888 -
I purchased this set of cookware 18 months ago, and I haven't regretted it. I haven't noticed any wear, even on the 8-inch skillet that gets used every day for fried eggs. I like the glass lids and the stay cool handles (although I wish there was a little less exposed metal on the lid handles - I've burnt myself on it, but only a couple times). I went with the 12-piece set instead of the 10-piece because I wanted the 12-inch (I think 3QT) saute pan which isn't included in the 10 piece set, and I wanted an 8QT stock pot instead of the 6QT that comes with the other set. It was a good choice for me because the 12-inch saute pan is great. I use it all the time. I call it my chicken pan. It turns out, though, that I don't really use the 8QT stockpot much - I thought I'd use it for soups and stews - but for me it's too big, too deep. I saved up and got a 5.5 QT Le Creuset French oven for that (and more), but that cost me much more than this whole set! The 3 saucepans are nice, but I have a gripe with the 1 QT - with the lid off and empty it tends to tip over. But that's a minor annoyance. You're not going to hand this cookware down to your children, but the beauty of this mid-range set is that it's much better than cheap cookware and it'll serve you very well while (if like me) you save up to buy the expensive stuff a piece at a time.



Great product - J. Kelley -
I spent a week reviewing and researching all the different types of cookware sets on here. I originally came on here to purchase a Calphalon set for my wife. After seeing all the poor reviews on them, I found this KitchenAid product. It had great reviews for over half off the Calphalon sets. We have cooked several meals with these sets and nothing sticks to them. They have a lifetime warranty, so you can not beat that either.
