I am disappointed with these item that I purchased. The lid seems to leak on the sides of the pot and water flowing over the lid when boiling something and leaves a big mess on my stove top. It’s been more than 10 years that I used same brand named and thought about trying this brand, first time to use kitchen aid cookware. The only thing that I like about this product is the nonstick coating on it and the frying pans. Overall, I will NOT recommend this if you do a lot of cooking and will use the pots that leaks.

I was really excited when I first got these. The pots are a good heavy weight. Then I realized that the outside of pots would scratched easily. I was so disappointed, but I knew they would be unsightly in no time around our house.

these are NOT dishwasher safe, despite what the product description states.

I received my Kitchen Aid 10pc set in good time and in good shape. I went to use my large pot with lid yesterday and the lid will not fit on my pot. I believe I was shipped a reject from the factory and was not told this at the time I ordered this item. I would like to know what I am able to do about this.

I recently ordered this set as a Christmas gift for my wife, who loves to cook. This was on her wish list and it looked like something that not only she would use, but would last also. We just received it today, very fast shipping. I am very pleased with that.

My problem is not with the set itself, since we haven't taken it out of the box, but with the packaging. The set was shipped in a box displaying what was on the inside. First, it's not a good idea to ship in anything but a plainly wrapped container. If the packaging displays what's on the inside, anyone can decide they want it and take it before you get it, no matter what is on the inside. Second, and most important to me right now, is the fact that my wife saw the box, and because a picture of the set was on the package, she now knows what she's getting for Christmas, 2 weeks early. I am VERY upset about this. I absolutely plan on filing a complaint about this.

So, as a warning, if this is going to be a gift for someone, make sure that either they won't get it from the delivery person, or make sure you have it wrapped so the person it's intended for doesn't see what's inside too soon.
