Amazon.com Product Description
Green your kitchen as you enjoy effortless nonstick cooking with this 10-piece set of stainless steel cookware from American Kitchen, which features two nonstick skillets with American Kitchen's exclusive biodegradable Eco-Satin nonstick surface. This set includes 1- and 3-quart saucepans (each with lids), one 3-quart saute pan with lid, one 6-quart stockpot with lid, one 8-inch nonstick skillet, and one 10-inch nonstick skillet.
The cookware features a professional grade stainless steel pan that's permanently bonded to a thick, pure aluminum disk, and the skillets are lined with the innovative, biodegradable Eco-Satin nonstick finish in place of a standard PFOA nonstick surface (a chemical pollutant that is emitted during the production of traditional nonstick cookware). And you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint as the pots and pans in this set are made in the U.S. at Regal Ware's West Bend, Wisconsin facility.
The skillets are safe to use on any cooking surface--including induction cooktops--and are oven-save up to 500 degrees F. They also feature stay-cool stainless steel handles. Avoid using metal utensils and abrasive cleaners or brushes on the nonstick skillets; hand washing is recommended. This cookset is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The packaging is made from 70 percent recycled materials and is 100 percent recyclable.

Customer Reviews
Good but do your homework!4
Anyone who, like me, is new to cooking with stainless steel needs to do a thorough job researching their options before buying. This is a great set, but if I had to do it over, I would probably go for anodized or nonstick just because of my personal preferences. As another reviewer states, food tends to stick and some things just can not be cooked in the stainless pans, like fried potatoes. Forget trying to cook with very little oil or just cooking spray as you can with nonstick. The pans tend to discolor and stain so a special cleaner like barkeeper's friend is required. I'm sure these will be extremely durable and they do distribute heat really well. I contacted their customer service with my questions about this set and an actual person contacted me and exchanged several e-mails - personally answering my questions in a timely manner. I was very impressed by their customer service! Overall, I'd recommend this product, but only to those who know they want stainless and are more adept at cooking with it than I am!
Stainless steel cookware4
This is a great set of pots and pans. The only drawback is
cooking something with a lot of starch. Frying potatoes was
a big no-no. They stuck to the bottom and it didn't matter
how much oil and stirring was involved.
Almost great4
I bought this cookware set because it's made in the United States, so I'm not unhappy about my decision and I would do the same thing again today.
The build quality is exactly as high quality as one would expect. No lead, formaldehyde or whatever else you might find in pans from abroad. The set is an incredible deal, but there are a few drawbacks.
Pros:
- Great build quality, very nicely made for the price
- Pan handles stay pretty cool
- Transfers heat from the burners as well as some pans twice the price
Cons:
- My biggest problem with this set is the steel surfaces. Other reviewers have said that it's just how steel is, but I went to this set from a Faberware stainless set, and it was MUCH easier to clean and didn't discolor nearly as much as this set. I mean, with these pans, you boil a piece of chicken, and you'll spend half an hour getting the pan clean again, and I just don't know why that is.
- The handles on the lids get so hot they are almost purposeless.
- As other have mentioned, the pan handles have an awkward shape.
- These things are heavy! (not entirely sure this is a 'con')
