Looking for Answers about KitchenAid KitchenAid Biclad Cookset, 10-pc?

I have been cooking for more years than I care to remember and I did that for a living at a five star resort.
This particular cookware set is quite simply " as good as it gets " and if you have the opportunity to buy this beautiful set at 70% off don't wait,,,run and get it now,,,
This is the best you will ever find,,,no exceptions at all !

It depends on whether the cookware set is on sale or not, what the sale price is, and what type of cooking your girlfriend likes to do.

If your girlfriend is serious about cooking and the set is at list price ($799), I would say no and recommend that you look at the 7-piece All Clad d5 stainless steel set at Williams Sonoma. It is $760 and although you get fewer pieces, the All Clad cookware is superior in terms of quality.

If it's on sale, then it could be worth it.

This set is a two-ply design, with anodized aluminum on the outside and stainless steel on the inside (cooking surface). Anodized aluminum is not really "non-stick" but it doesn't matter either way because it's not the cooking surface.

the outside of the set is non stick. Very handy for the spills over the side. Wipes off easily!

The KitchenAid 10-piece Bi-Clad set (item 42-8589) has the following set composition:

1qt Cov Saucepan

2 qt Cov Saucepan

3qt Cov Saucepan

6qt Cov Stockpot

10"/3qt Cov Sauté

There are also 2 open stock hard anodized skillets available (items 1422492 and 1422493) in case you may be interested in frypans as well.

With the 3-ply clad, you also get the benefit of full stainless steel, which has the advantage of not potentially flaking off as the pots age.

The KitchenAid coating is a high-quality durable coating, but if you lay your pots freely in a full drawer where they may be contacting and rubbing against other pots, the stainless will not damage like the coated pots. The coating could flake or scratch off.
