I've used the Kitchenaid hard anodized cookware for more than 5 years and continue to love them. They're a good, solid weight with durable glass lids. There are of course many less expensive sets available, but those typically won't hold up under heavy use.

Hard anodizing does not involve Teflon or any other applied coating; it's a process of submerging the aluminum in acid, then charging it with an electrical current which causes a corrosion-resistant coating of oxidization to build up. Hard anodized cookware is considered to be stick resistant but not completely nonstick. It is supposedly healthier since there's no (possibly carcinogenic) coating that can flake off into your food. Who knows.

If you use the cookware on high heat, after a while the black color on the exterior starts to turn ashy/spotty and the inside develops small fissures in the coating. The pots are still stick resistant, but not as much as when they were new. I'd say they're very durable but they're not going to be passed on through generations like a well-seasoned cast iron pan might be.

The pans are very sturdy but they're also heavyweights; if you have hand pain or weakness when grasping, they might not be for you.

I'm happy enough with them that I'll continue to re-order the same thing whenever I need a replacement or supplemental size.

I usually write longer reviews but this one is pretty simple. The pots and pans are a very good deal for the money. Considering that this entire set costs what just one professional pan could cost, it's worth it. The pieces are light and strong, cook evenly, clean easily and are built well. They're about the same as the low-end Calphalon lines you see in the store but about half the price. If you're looking for a good cheap set that's a step above T-Fal, here you go.

Update It's been a while now and they're still performing perfectly. I feel an obligation to make fun of the people that gave these a one star rating because "a magnet won't stick to them" ... Yes, they're aluminum, Einstein. And, to the other person that was upset because their electric stove discoloured the bottom....Sigh. I guess some people will never be happy with anything. I wonder if they realize a real set of cookware can cost upwards of $1k. For 100 bucks, these are awesome. Don't expect a bmw when you're buying a toyota, know what I mean?

Best Deals for KitchenAid Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set

I bought these pots when i was moving into my first apartment on my own, sick of using crappy pans and pots. that was about 2.5 years ago. I treat my pans well though i use them often but these are still like brand new with nonstick intact and easy cleanup. I highly recommend them. my mom got a gift of two calphalon pots which usually run 40-50 for the set and they after a year did not hold up well at all, i think this set is a MUCH better deal.

Honest reviews on KitchenAid Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set

This was my first time ever using hard anodized cookware and I love it! I have had the cookware for 4 months and never had any problems with it. It works great with all foods, and you just have to be careful when using and cleaning the cookware. Don't cook higher than medium, never use metal utensils on it, and hand wash/dry.

I received this set as a gift and I looove it. It pretty much has everything I needed. I like the fact that the lids are clear so I can see my food's progress without loosing heat. I was a little concerned at first about the fact that the lids didn't have a steam release hole in them, but quite frankly, they don't need one. They sit on top of your pot or pan prefectly; letting out steam easily and without jiggling. These pans are the perfect weight, not too heavy, but not flimsy in the least. I love that the handles are heat resistant. My frittatas slide out of the pan with ease and cook evenly.
