I am a huge sucker for kitchen equipment. I've enjoyed shopping for just about every piece in my kitchen (whether it came from a thrift shop, yard sale or bonafide kitchen supply store). However, I know that not everyone out there wants to invest the time in putting together a working, well-equipped kitchen. There are starter sets of pots and pans out there, but oftentimes they are flimsy, overpriced or missing keys pieces.
However, recently a new company arrived on the scene and they have created a set of kitchen tools that is thoughtful, solid and affordable. Called My Pro Kitchen, the 36-piece set sells for $279 and contains two pots, two pans, one lid, a cookie sheet, a big roasting pan, two kitchen knives (with sharpener), a set of stacking mixing bowls and colander, a peeler, a box grater, a cutting board, a strainer and an assortment of useful and necessary utensils.
Have any of you encountered this set? If so, what do you think about the quality and usefulness?

Looks like the stuff you get from the restaurant supply stores. If so, then I would think the quality would be very good. I have some of those non-stick pans and I love them! They are the best investment any real cook can make.
I am a little suspect of this "$500 value." It doesn't really tell you any of the brands (especially with the knives). If you have the time, I highly recommend you go to your local restaurant supply store and hand pick what you want and need. The list included is a great start though!

The best kitchen ware I've ever used is the old Guardian Ware. You can still find pieces of it for sale on eBay, but it's not cheap by any means. I am fortunate to have the large roaster, the three triangle pots and two breakfast pans. The handles are hard to find, but otherwise I wouldn't trade my Guardian Ware for anything on today's market.

Considering all the crap cookware I accumulated during my early years of housekeeping, this would have been a greatly appreciated gift. Though back then I would've looked at that bench scraper and thought, "What the hell is this for?"
If the quality is indeed good, this could be a worthwhile investment for someone just starting out.

Great concept! This is definately worth $279. I have so much stuff in my kitchen that I never use. I would be lost without my dough scraper for transferring garlic, onions, spices etc, from the cutting board to the saute pan. I don't need the fancy names...restaurant quality works for me!!
