 "Kitchenaid ought to be ashamed! Negative 10 stars!" 2010-03-06

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1D1DYBLU8X8F3 Hi

I uploaded a video because when it comes to the terrible quality of this awful Kitchenaid Cookware, words alone do not tell the story! The red finish was ruined the first time I ran the pans through the dishwasher and only got worse over time. When I dry them by hand, red and black paint wipes right off on my dish towels! In addition, the pans are warped, the non-stick coating flakes off and, in fact, was never very "non-stick" to start with. Plus the pans are a weird size--skinny diameter, but deep, which makes them somewhat difficult to work with. They fit awkwardly on my burners.



I mistakenly thought Kitchenaid was a quality brand, but my eyes have really been opened! They've obviously used the solid reputation of their stand mixer as an opportunity to flood the market with a whole host of inferior products. I used to have a full set of red Kitchenaid spatulas and other hand tools, but have discarded most of them because of the bad quality. I am also unimpressed by their hand mixer--had to exchange it twice because the "chrome" trim (really just mylar tape) kept falling off.



Seriously--don't waste your money on these awful pots & pans!

This is an upgrade from T-Fal that I have had before and this set is very good and I don't have any complaints and they are easy to handle and wash so I would think anyone looking for something a little better to think about this

 "Still works, but discolored and slightly warped" 2009-10-07
By Elaine (Reno, NV, USA)
I got this set as a gift three or four years ago. It still works fine, and I haven't had issues with the non-stick coating flaking off, but the red coating has gotten really discolored from normal use -- black in some places, faded in others. Also, I think the pots have warped a bit. The strainer inserts I have for the pots don't really sit flush in the pot anymore. It's disappointing, because I love my Kitchenaide stand mixer, and I really really loved this set's color. My boyfriend has been trying to convince me for a while now that these are "garbage." I suppose it's time to cave in and replace them with a set that won't look so ugly after a year.

 "Still usable but ugly" 2009-08-14
By Jason D. Averbeck (Illinois)
I recieved these as a Christmas gift 3 years ago. My husband knew how much I liked KitchenAid and especially the red line of products. The exterior of all my pots have turned pink. Since a lot of my appeal to this product was the red exterior I am extremely dissappointed. I've not experienced the flaking of the non-stick surface, but I am very strict with utensil usage and everyone knows not to use metal with them... They still cook decent, but next time I will probably go with a different brand.

By L. J. Peschken (Lynchburg, VA)
I am extremely pleased with my Kitchen Aid Cookware set. Each piece is very well made. The frying pans are not like light-wieght frying pans that wobble on the burner. Cleaning is amazingly simple. I just swish with a dish rag and rinse.
