Best Wedding Gift Ever!
Ok...my husband and I got married on the spur. So as a wedding present, my family pitched in and bought us this cookware set. I've not really cooked with any other products, except farberware. And this is soooo much better! I love everything about this set! It's so easy to cook with, clean up, and store! I truly love cooking with this set! My mom purchased the Wolf Gang collection, and it's just not the same! His are so light and uneven when cooking. Emeril's cookware is heavy, and consistant! It feels like I'm cooking in a real kitchen with these! This was definately a dream set, and am so grateful that my family bought these for us! I now want to add to my collection and keep up the great cooking!
Great Cookware but Induction Safe?
I have had the 10 piece Stainless steel set for some time and like it so well that I have bought several other pieces like a large and small saucier. Until recently I did not even realize that one was supposed to heat the pots on a lower heat, and usually cranked my heat up to high. The pots, I am glad to say, are fine.
However in spite of the Amazon Product Description, which says "the cookware works on any stovetop, including induction" I am doubtful that this is the case. Cooking.com says they are NOT safe for use with induction stove tops. Apparently if a pot or pan will attract a magnet it is induction safe. Interestingly none of the pieces in the 10 piece set attract a magnet, while my other Emeril pieces do. Go figure!

Not bad for the money
I purchased this set as a reasonably priced alternative to All Clad.
Pros: Reasonable cost, complete set looks good hanging on your pot rack
Cons: 8" fry pan is prone to tipping when empty, e.g. when being heated with only a little oil in preparation for searing. The glass lids are heavy and the perimeter metal not well finished. The copper stripe around the base is for decoration only and has started to peel off on one of my pots.
Conclusion: Not a bad set but for the serious cook it makes more sense to buy individual pans suited for the different cooking needs. Stainless is best for browning, searing, and pan frying. It's definitely not non-stick so if you like eggs over easy, better buy a non-stick ... Read More
Great cookware!
I love this cookware! It took a bit of adjusting for me to get used to stainless vs. non-stick but I'm glad I made the switch!
Frankly Emeril, I don't give a BAM!
I received this cookware set from my wedding registry after comparing and contrasting what seemed like ENDLESS sets of pots and pans. I could not be more DISAPPOINTED in my choice. Two words for you Emeril: Plastic Stickers.
I have had the cookware for about a week and a half and have not even been able to use it yet, because the superglue used to affix the warning stickers to the INSIDE of the pots will NOT come off. I have soaked (for a week), I have dishwashed, I have used several pot-safe scrubbing solutions . . . NOTHING. Still gluey residue that I am not eager to feed my future husband. On EVERY SINGLE PIECE.
I moved all my meat to the freezer because it simply cannot wait around in the fridge for these pots to get their ... Read More
