Anchor Hocking has been around for a lot of years. I have a few pie dishes from my mother that still do well. Would buy again.

Well I love backing and pickey about my cook ware.  Top grade pan bakes evenly all around and bottom.  Quality pan. For those who bake.

KitchenAid is a high-end, quality brand. My wife has used her beloved KitchenAid Mixer for more years than I care to mention, so we jumped at the chance to upgrade our much used set of pots and pans, to KitchenAid's new "Top 10" stainless steel set.

Let me tell you right away, we loved this gleaming cookware set from the moment we took each carefully packaged piece from its box. Some people call it a "starter" set, but we are seasoned food lovers who both enjoy the kitchen, and we think of this as a significant upgrade. IF you're just starting out, you might want to add a two-tiered steamer, a quality non-stick frying pan for things like eggs, and a trusty cast iron skillet (we use ours for certain things like caramelizing onions). But in fact, you could do all your cooking, for the rest of your time on the planet, with the KitchenAid "Top Ten."

Points:
- The stainless steel is gorgeous and looks to be of excellent quality.
- The bases are sufficiently thick to evenly distribute heat.
- They are also flat, which is important with a glass-top stove like ours, since you do not want to scratch the surface with cheap warped pans.
- With stainless steel, the way to prevent food from sticking and burning is to watch the heat! To begin, err on the side of low, rather than high, as you get used to stainless steel cooking. (The problem with non-stick cookware is that you can end up with flakes and even chemicals in your food, and it does wear out).
- These handles are also stainless steel -- heavy duty, with strong rivets.
- The cookware is oven-safe (good to know, although we seldom put our pots in the oven).
- Good to go for the dishwasher as well.

Essentially, you get three pots of various sizes, each with a domed tempered-glass lid -- that's six pieces. You get three frying pans as well -- small, medium and large (the large with deeps sides and another glass lid -- they call them skillets and a saute pan, but whatever). Those are four pieces, for a total of ten. We've had pots with glass lids before, and wouldn't cook without them. We want to see how the cooking is going without having to lift the lid and let heat and steam escape.

This is a beautiful set, and at this price point, excellent value -- either for yourself, or as an unforgettable gift for a lucky young couple.

Although Wilton is not commercial grade cookware, it is so much better than most of the consumer bakeware available at non-specialty stores.  I love the Wilton pans I had before I got these pans.  The problem with this set is not quality but rather usability.  A starter set should cover more of the basics than this does.

Three out of five pieces are the wrong size and/or capacity for regular recipes.  For instance, although the product description states that it includes a 9" cake pan, it is really an 8" pan, too small for most recipes.  Because it includes only one and because most recipes use two cake pans, you'll have to purchase another pan at the same time.  I had hoped that this would supplement the Wilton 9" pan I already owned, but it does not.  The six-cup muffin tin has the same issue: few recipes make only six muffins or cupcakes.  You'll need to purchase an extra or four.  (Most boxed mixes make 18 to 24 cupcakes.)  The cookie sheet is also half-size, which means that you'll be waiting a long time to bake a batch of cookies if this is the only sheet you have.  The only two pieces that I consider normal are the loaf pan and the 9 x 13" cake pan, also known as a quarter-sheet cake pan.

The quality of these is good, and the nonstick surface works well to turn out baked goods.  Still, follow recipe directions to grease and/or flour the pans.  Although this set is technically dishwasher-safe, Wilton recommends against it, especially if you use dishwasher pods that will discolor the surface.  They are really easy to wash in warm, soapy water, especially given the nonstick surface.

I would probably give this set five stars if it better covered the basics.  I'd accept the small cookie sheet if only Wilton had included a 12-cup muffin tin and a true 9" cake pan -- two 9" pans would have been perfect.  You almost have to buy two of these sets to make it worthwhile.

Non-stick seems long-lasting. It's heavy and bakes perfectly.

I received one of these as a gift over a year ago and decided to upgrade two other baking racks I have with this brand.

Quality: I have had no issues dishwashing and getting the rack clean over the last year, and I anticipate no problems with the two new ones. (Two large racks and one medium sized). I like that they are not non stick.

Price: I got a large rack for about $14, and a medium for around $12 so absolutely no complaints. I would easily expect to pay at least $15 - $20 for each of these items.

Speed of delivery: fast processing and shipping. Again, no complants.

Overall, I am extremely happy.

Love this bakeware!  My old pans were in need of a good cleaning due to a recipe sticking.  After deep cleaning, realized I had scratched the non-stick surface too badly to continue to use.  Researched best pans on America's Test Kitchen.  This is their recommendation, and it is well worth the investment.  Be sure to read and follow the directions about not using baking spray, though.

This pan is very high quality and my cakes came out beautifully without any effort.  Would buy from same company for other bakeware that I need.

Very high quality bakeware (at a terrific price) with solid nonstick coating. Since I always use paper cup liners for my cupcakes and muffins I'm sure this pan will last a lifetime. Thank you, Amazon!

I love this brand of bakeware.  The pan is super-sturdy and it doesn't deform when baking.  Baking results have improved dramatically since switching to these. The coating is very nice and non-stick, and seems fairly durable so far.  The little insert is just right for doing a little toaster-over roasting.

The only little annoyance is that sometimes liquids can get stuck in the edge seams, and it's impossible to really clean there.  Not really an issue for me personally though.

I absolutely love it. My food does not burn the way it would with the "non-stick" pans. I am working at going back totally to aluminum bakeware and I am so impressed with Nortic Ware's products. I highly recommend.

This bakeware set is of excellent quality.  We are a family of bakers, and we appreciate numerous features of the pans in this set.  The quilting of the baking surfaces provides a good non-stick character.  The edges and lips of the pans and the trays make hot handling easier by allowing for a good grip with hot pads without making contact with pan/tray surfaces or their contents.  The thickness of the bottoms of the pans/trays and the layering of metal provide for good heat flow and even cooking.  We are extremely happy with this purchase and were especially gratified to find it offered at a lightening-deal discounted price before the holidays.

This set puts my old baking set to shame.  It feels like it will last to become a family heirloom!  I am very pleased with the quality and construction of the pieces.  Although they are non-stick, the instructions do tell the user, if the recipe calls for it, to use a small amount of non-stick cooking spray and then wipe out the extra.  I did a test and sprayed the loaf pan but not the muffin tins while doing banana bread/muffins.  The loaf popped right out but the muffins stuck enough that I needed to use a rubber spatula to keep from leaving the bottoms in the pan.  (Following manufacturer's directions, it would not have been a problem.)  My recipe also called for spraying AND flouring the pan which was unnecessary with the Calphalon pieces.  Since the pieces are very heavy and slick when wet, I don't think they are appropriate for a baker with weak wrists or unsure hands.

The bakeware seems very sturdy. I used it several times each (except the muffin pan), and liked the baking results.
The sides of the pans are rolled - it adds stability, but make sure you drain water from itafter washing, or you could get unexpected spill.
The non-stick coating is not very good quality - even soft plastic leaves marks on it.

Professional weight bakeware as described; cooks evenly, cleans easily.  Very much like this brand of product, would purchase again.

I would HIGHLY recomend this Stainless Steel Cooling Rack and Baking Rack by QualityBake. It is sooo much nicer than I expected!!!
I make homemade chicken fingers for my kids and they're crispy, not soggy from laying on the foil.
