I ordered and received my set today, however, I noticed there is no documentation included. That is, no directions/instructions (care tips, how to use these pots, etc), and no warrenty card--or anything else except the pots and pans all wrapped up. Shouldn't there be some paperwork?

The box says lifetime warrenty, but shouldn't there be a warrenty card inside? From reading all these reviews I got the impression that there is a directions/instructions paper that is included. Can someone confirm for me that I am indeed missing something here? Does the lifetime warranty not need any card or paper?

I really love my new emerilware 10 piece set. My husband is a sailor so needless to say we are on a tight budget, but this is a great set of cookware for the price. The sids aren't as thick as a traditional all-clad set, but they are sturdy and conduct heat well. The base however is great and really provides the type of heat conduction that I've come to expect from all clad and allows me to do the type of cooking that the cheap pots and pans from wal-mart don't allow. (no offence walmart) I'm not a fan of Emeril, but he did a great job on his cookware.

I purchased the 10 pc set. I am so surprised the Emeril would allow his name on this cookware. It is so poorly balanced, bottom heavy it takes two hands to pour from even the smaller pans. The glass lids with the steel band are very hard to clean. On two of my pans the bottom copper and aluminum layers separated rendering them useless not to mention dangerous. I tossed them in the trash as I would want them replaced.

My wife and I wanted to upgrade our cooking supplies while still on a tight budget. These units are of good quality and cook food evenly like a good cook wants. The heating surface performs admirably under all cooking circumstances (at least that I have been able to put them through). I certainly recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to spend a $1000 dollars on a set but still wants quality. Bon Appetit!

I've been researching ad nauseum on the internet all about what type of cookware was the most recommended, and decided that I either wanted Mauviel or All Clad. I did the smart thing, and went to Williams-Sonoma to take a look at the cookware in question before I made the investment. As beautiful as the Mauviel was, it was just entirely too heavy. I checked out the All Clad, and those pieces were somewhat lighter, but the 10" fry pan was unwieldy, and I didn't like the angle the handles were placed at. The saleslady told me that the All Clad Copper Core cookware I really was desirous of was even a little bit heavier!

One reason why I picked the Emerilware was because it has a lifetime guarantee like the regular All Clad does, and the 7-pc. set was only $149.00. The other good selling point was the glass lids. Some people like them, and some don't.....I happen to like glass lids much better, and they were constructed every bit as well as the Calphalon Tri-Ply lids I compared them to. I also like the indentation in the handles that allow you to place your thumb in the right spot for a good grip.

The All Clad stainless steel sets just have a blunt, unrolled edge. The Emerilware has a nice rolled edge that is perfect for pouring. On my electric coil stove, they heat up very quickly and evenly, so no complaints there.

I give this cookware 4 starts only because I wish that the largest lid in the set did a bit better job of fitting the large frypan. Other than that, I'm glad that I didn't blow $500-$800 or more on cookware that was too heavy to enjoy using.
