Just wondering if any one here has any experience with them. Thanks. Tue May 12 10:45:35 -0700 2009 292031 Hobbes76 1 4677137 I'll preface this by saying I admire Jamie Oliver's cooking, BUT be aware that very often what you get when you buy name branded cookware like that is lower quality, higher priced cookware... less overall value is what I'm getting at. I also know that when you buy a boxed set of cookware you WILL get pieces that you don't need and won't use. Your best option is to take the money you would have spent on the set and buy 2 or 3 or 4 good pans that you will use often and keep for decades. Based on what I see of the set online you don't need 3 different sized sauce pans. You'll do fine with one. You don't need 2 skillets you'll do fine with one. You don't need a pair of tongs, you probably already have some. So be sure and balance everything: what do you really need, what are you getting, how much does it cost, and how does the quality compare to something like All-Clad.
