Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Isn't it about time cookware showed some revolutionary changes? Chef's Planet combines the best of innovation, ergonomics, and beauty with Arc 42 cookware. The radical change is the handle: instead of typical long handles that strain the wrist, Arc 42's handles feature cool-touch, soft silicone grips and are angled in a unique way that leverage forearm muscles (in a comfortable 42-degree arc from the body). As a result, you simply and easily pour away from you, just like using a kettle. Each pot or pan has a pouring lip, and each lid features a wide band with different sized holes, so you can regulate steam release during cooking and strain the water after cooking without needing a colander.
The eight pieces in this set will convert you in no time, as they did British celebrity chef Gary Rhodes. Included are a 9-1/2-inch frying pan with Teflon Platinum nonstick finish; 2- and 4-quart saucepans, each with a single angled handle and a glass lid; and a 6-quart casserole/stockpot with two silicone side handles, a 9-1/2-inch steamer insert, and a glass lid. Each piece is constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel in a handsome brushed finish with a polished band around the top for contrast. Aluminum encapsulated in the base ensures even heat distribution during cooking. The handles and lids are perfectly safe for oven-heating and use on any type of stovetop burner. A superb gift set for yourself or someone special, the cookware is dishwasher-safe and covered by a lifetime warranty against defects, except for the nonstick finish in the frying pan. --Ann Bieri

Excellent all around set of pots and pans,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arc 42 Stainless-Steel 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I ordered this set when it was the gold box deal for $120. As of today, the price is still the same as it was then, so I consider this a great deal.
I have been looking for a nice set of stainless steel pots because my old set of only nonstick had become very scratched up, which some people believe to be dangerous. I like that there's only one nonstick pan in this set. This way you have the nonstick only for when you need it, and you can baby it and treat it nicely by hand-washing and not using metal utensils. The other selling point for me with this set was the unique handles. For anyone who has shakily tried to carry a heavy pot to the sink, this is the set for you. I actually spilled boiling water on myself trying to carry just such a pot and suffered a very painful burn as a result. The idea is that the handle will transfer the weight from your wrist to your forearm, which is generally much stronger. Still, I was a little worried that the 'weird looking' handle might seem awkward. My fears were assuaged when they arrived. They in fact feel very natural. Actually, I think it would be hard for me to ever go back to a traditional handle now. Another nice feature is the straining holes located on the lid so you can drain off liquid. You could also use this as a steam vent during cooking if you'd like. Also, the lid for the medium sized pot fits the nonstick pan, which is another plus in my book. The other reviewer is correct that the handles don't have slots for an over head pan rack, however *I* store my pots and pans in a cabinet, so it's fine for me. I highly recommend this set, they are very well made, and a great buy in my opinion.

Great Pots,

This review is from: Arc 42 Stainless-Steel 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
These pots are very heavy and are made well. Inside the pots they have markings for litters and quarts(in increments of .5). Another nice feature is that the lids on the pots can be used to strain the water out so you won't have to use a separate strainer which means less things to clean!
The angle of the handles are also nice because they don't put as much strain your wrists when you pick the pots up.

Great Buy,

This review is from: Arc 42 Stainless-Steel 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I absolutely love these pots and pans. There are so many great features, including the markings on the inside of the pots. I also love the straining feature. And as for the first review, I also don't use an overhead hanger, so the handles are not an issue for me.
These are a great deal.
