A great starter collection for setting up a new kitchen, this Gibson 32-piece set provides an array of essential pieces for any culinary adventure. The Dutch oven works well for vegetable soup, beef stew, or boiling pasta; the saucepans come in handy for making breakfast oatmeal or homemade marinara sauce; and the saute pan functions like a skillet, but its wide base meets tall, straight sides for extra depth and capacity, exceptionally convenient when making one-dish meals. All pieces (except for the wooden block) are dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup.
