Great quality cookware
By gonetoosoon
I purchased theese at another store,much cheaper. I researched cookware for about 2 months and decided on theese and haven`t regretted one bit. I absolutely love this ccokware. I purchased a slightly older set,with a different design, but the quality is the same.This is a heavy set of cookware,so if you want a light wieght set,its not for you. It has 2 layers of stainless steel, one layer of copper abd two layers of aluminum. It cooks very evenly and not to difficult to maintain its beauty. I actually bought two sets,as one is hanging on my pot rack. Love everything about them.

absolutely amazing set of utensils! a must have for any household where daily cooking is done
By mom to precious
Me and my husband had been contemplating whether to buy all-clad utensils or this set for a very long time.. the description of these utensils sounded really good and it seemed as if the two would be very similar in usage. However, I had been told that all-clad utensils were very good by almost anyone who had used them. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anybody who had used the kirkland set to know how these performed in the kitchen. When this set showed up at costco, we decided to go ahead and give it a try. The utensils are heavy and that probably is the only drawback coz I am petite. However, I think that is necessary for even heating and good cooking.

These utensils need VERY little heat to do the job, and I mean it. If you cook at higher temp settings, you will burn your food. Even dry vegetable recipes can be made well since food doesn’t stick to the base as much if you cook on low heat. These are easy to wash. I do not stick them in the dishwasher and handwash them to preserve their even surface. I plan on using them for a long time and we were even contemplating getting a back up set. These are multiple times by us daily. The one really big vessel is the least used, but we’ve found good use for that as well. Most of the pieces are good sized and will be used commonly. The lid handles tend to heat up if you’re cooking dishes which require long cooking time, so be careful, but I don’t think its a drawback. Eggs are the only thing which stick, however its still easy to clean.

We are satisfied with the product and will recommend it. We’ve finally found a substitute to non-stick cookware, as this is what we set out to achieve. I don’t think I crave for all-clad utensils anymore.

Beautiful, Heavy, Heats Evenly, Easy Cleanup, Love Them!
By Michelle D. Stadel
I purchased these last week, and haven’t used them much, but I LOVE them. I bought a larger 5 Qt Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Sauteuse at the same time ($100), and although I love the size of that pan, the Kirkland pans cook scrambled eggs better, are heavier, heat more evenly, don’t stick as much, and since I bought a used set on ebay, were much cheaper for all 13 pieces than for the two-piece Calphalon pan with lid. Only some of the set was used, so a minute or less with Bar-Keepers friend on a couple of the pans and they all shined like new. I’ve cooked scrambled eggs with the skillet, and was thrilled at how well they cooked vs. the Calphalon. I read on other sites to heat the pan, add the oil, let the oil heat, then add the eggs, and WOW! no sticking, as good as non-stick, actually better because the eggs had smaller curds. I cooked eggs the same way with the Calphalon, and the eggs didn’t stick – until I stirred the eggs to scramble them, then I wind up with a thin layer of egg at the bottom of the pan.
The only thing that some may not like on the Kirkland pans, vs the Calphalon Contemporary is that the Calphalon pan is made up of two pieces – the handle and the pan (all-clad or multiclad is what it is called I think), and the Kirkland is made up of three – the handle, the pan, and the disk at the bottom of the pan where the aluminum and copper disk is, the aluminum/copper doesn’t extend up the sides of the pans. The disk is attached well and isn’t unattractive, it even has a copper band around it that looks pretty and cleans nicely with the Barkeeper’s Friend. Personally, I’d rather have the Kirkland that is heavy and cooks well, vs the Calphalon that isn’t near as heavy and doesn’t heat as evenly (I put egg whites in the Calphalon, put the lid on the pan, and watched while one half of the egg cooked and the other half of the egg was raw and clear – gas stove).
I’m really happy with my Kirkland set, I love everything about the pans, sometimes I even like to just admire their beauty.
