I just got my Pampered Chef Executive 7 Pc Cookware set in February and I absolutely love it! It is the best non-stick cookware available and is quite reasonably priced compared to similar items on the market.
The 7 pc set consists of an 8 quart covered stockpot (lid also fits skillet), 3 quart covered saucepan, 1.5 quart covered saucepan and 10" skillet. Basically, all the essentials for every kitchen.
The first time I used the skillet I was amazed! Usually making scrambled eggs is a mess because my family loves cheese and we put a ton of it in with the eggs. In a stainless pan this means an hour of scrubbing with the SOS pads to remove all the mess. But these pans just wipe clean! I no longer complain when my husband wants to make queso dip because the Velveeta washes out with ease. Oatmeal, creamy soups, everything just comes right out.
All the Pampered Chef Executive cookware is hard-anodized aluminum reinforced with titanium for a super durable piece. DuPont coating keeps them from sticking to anything. The rim of each pan is flared so that when you need to pour something it doesn't run down the sides, but even if it does, the outside is coated in DuPont as well, so there are none of those disgusting drip marks. There is also very even heat distribution, food cooks evenly and doesn't burn on the bottom or clump up. They are also oven safe up to 400 degrees so you can brown your chicken on the stove top then cook it in the oven til dinner time.
One of the best things is there is a lifetime guarantee so if anything ever happens, whether the nonstick coating comes off or the handle breaks it will be replaced for free from Pampered Chef.
The handles are all coated in silicone so they remain cool and easy to grab. Plus, there is a hole in the end of the handle so it can be hung on a pot rack. If you don't have a pot rack you can stack them in cupboards, using the Pampered Chef cookware protectors , which is kind of like a felt covered foam that keeps them from scratching against one another.
The only downside to this is you really have to watch what utensils you use because metal utensils will tear up the nonstick coating and it will start to flake off into your foods, which is not good. Pampered Chef does sell a ton of bamboo, silicone, and other nonstick-safe utensils though that can be used on the cookware worry-free. It also cannot go in the dishwasher, but that is no problem at all because everything wipes out so easily.
Another bonus to using cookware that is so stick-resistant is it is so much healthier to cook without using oils and fats in your food. If you don't have to put oil in the pan to keep it from sticking then you don't have that extra calories and cholesterol added to your food which is awesome.
In addition to the 7 piece set they also offer open stock items and a 5 pc set to complete your kitchen needs. I also have the double burner griddle, grill press and 8" saute pan. The saucepans are great for macaroni and cheese, soup, gravy, oatmeal, etc. I like the skillet for scrambled eggs, stir fried veggies, hamburger helper. You can also make skillet cakes in it which is so yummy. The large stockpot is my favorite for making soup in because I can make a huge batch and freeze leftovers or take some to my mom.
The best part about buying the Pampered Chef products is that you can get it cheaper by having a show. Just by having friends over and they get to shop for the products they want, the host (me!) gets a huge discount. The 7 pc set retails for $425.00 but you can get the 5 pc and 7 pc sets together for $355 as a half price special! They also have 60% off for hosts periodically so that is another way to save a ton of money to get it. And of course there is the free product value that you can use too. I loved getting my cookware cheaper and am so happy that I now have great cookware that is easy to clean. My husband loves it so much he cooks breakfast every weekend and makes french toast or omelets for our family. Just one more reason to love it!
