As an introduction to the beauty and performance of heavy, 18/10 stainless-steel cookware, this 13-piece set is a terrific bargain. The set consists of a 1-1/2-quart saucepan with lid, a 2-quart saucepan with lid, a 2-3/4-quart saucepan with lid, a 7-quart stockpot with lid and pasta insert that's great for simmering stock and soup as well as cooking and draining pasta, a 3-1/2-quart sauté pan with lid that's perfect for braising as well as sautéing; a 9-1/2-inch skillet, and an 8-inch skillet. Everything is oven-safe to 500 degrees F. Cuisinart's Everyday Stainless features bottom disks of copper--cookware's best heat conductor--that spread heat rapidly and uniformly, preventing hot spots. The disks are sheathed in stainless steel for a uniform look and easy cleaning. Handles are welded, with no inside rivets to trap food. Deep-set lids fit tightly. Polished to a mirror finish, Everyday Stainless begs to be displayed, and hanging holes in the handles make that possible. Though this cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves the finish better. Everyday Stainless carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack What's in the Box 1-1/2-quart saucepan with lid, 2-quart saucepan with lid, 2-3/4-quart saucepan with lid, 7-quart stockpot with lid, pasta insert (fits stockpot), 3-1/2-quart sauté pan with lid, 9-1/2-inch skillet, 8-inch skillet   Show Less
