Cookware sets can be amazing kitchen gifts if you get the right kind for the cook on your list. Stainless steel cookware, for example, is perfect for the sleek, modern kitchen and a cook who knows the ins and outs of cooking without the aid of a nonstick coating.
When you're looking at stainless steel cookware sets, look for one with "ply" or "clad" in the title. This means the stainless steel surrounds a layer of another metal, such as copper or aluminum, with much better heat conduction. A good example is the Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 13-piece cookware set. This set makes an excellent kitchen gift idea because the stainless steel is gorgeous and easy to clean, the aluminum core provides fast and even heating, and the set contains all the pieces experienced cooks use most.
When giving a stainless steel cookware set, be sure to include a stainless steel cleanser as part of the gift to keep the steel looking great. Bar Keeper's Friend is a well-known example.
