If the cook in your life is in need of a new set of cookware, this Calphalon set would make a fantastic gift. It is a good quality cookware suitable for the beginner or the seasoned cook. The Cooking with Calphalon ProSignature Nonstick Hard-Anodized 10-Piece Set should make the special cook on your holiday list very pleased. It retails at Kohls for the regular price of $349.99, but it was actually on sale for about $50.00 less than that price when I found it. This cookware is made from heavy-gauge anodized aluminum for even heat distribution. It is scratch resistant with a nonstick surface that makes clean up easy. The pans have flared rims for easy pouring. This Calphalon set is available exclusively at Kohls. It is oven safe up to a remarkable 450 degrees. It has a manufacturer's limited ten year warranty. The set includes a 10-inch omelet pan, a 12-inch omelet pan, a three quart-covered saute pan, a three ½ quart-covered saucepan, a four ½ quart-covered saucepan, and a six quart-covered stockpot. This is a very nice looking cookware set that any cook would be proud to use. The model number for this set is KT10A.

This next gift item is certainly a familiar name in the kitchen. The KitchenAid Ultra Power Plus Stand Mixer will be cherished by the recipient for many years to come. The price of the stand mixer is $319.00 at Kohls when not on sale. The mixer is heavy-duty with remarkable power, but there are much more expensive KitchenAid stand mixers that are considered professional quality. This is an excellent choice for the home cook. This mixer has a stainless steel bowl. The head of the mixer tilts up from the bowl for easy access. The bowl is a large four ½ quarts, which handles large batches of dough. The beaters and the bowl are dishwasher safe. The set also has a 2-piece pouring shield, a metal wire whisk, a flat beater, and a dough hook. It can also use additional attachments available. The heavy duty mixer motor is 300 watts and has 10 speeds with a powerful transmission. This fabulous mixer has a 1-year total replacement warranty.

The cook in your life will enjoy the convenience of having a Cuisinart PowerPrep Plus Food Processor. This food processor can be used for so many purposes. The motor in this Cuisinart model is powerful enough to handle thick dough. Food processors will really save the cook time when it comes to chopping or dicing large quantities of food for those special family dinners. It has a large 14-cup capacity, stainless steel dough blade, a stainless steel chopping blade, a shredding disc, a 1-piece feed tube, a cord wrap, a recipe booklet and a how-to video. The price for this food processor at Kohls is $349.99, although it was on sale for $50.00 off the regular price just recently. The model number for this processor is KSM100PSWW.
