Would this set be a good thing to get for a beginner like me to go with the book?: http://www.amazon.com/Granite-Ware-07...

If you are asking if the granite canner and utensils are a good set for a beginer then the answer is yes! I started canning in my teens and invested in just this same kettle, basket, lid and jar stabilizer. I used it for everything and only when it was dropped and the enamel chipped too badly to hold water did I replace it. It makes not difference if you are a novice or a expert if it works and you have space to store it you should go for it!

Great begginer's set, specially considering price. I rarely play, 6 to 8 times a year and can keep up with my every week playing friends. If you are good enough to care about stifness maybe this is not the set for you.

I know you can buy the individually. Why not look up all the Farberware sets and see what you can find.

I would contact All-Clad via internet or a dealer and ask them. I have the set shown here, but in truth, we have just cook soups and stews in it so far.

I think so. After reading tons of reviews. The whole set seemed like the way to go. It must be on sale. I think I paid more than that.

@TJL Bates: I bought this set when I was forced to change my cookware because we transitioned to an induction cooktop. I have been nothing but thrilled (and I'm an avid home chef)! I use metal utensils all the time with this cookware! Admittedly, I avoided doing so at first, but eventually habit and mindlessness took over. I've seen some superficial marks on the cookware immediately after cooking, but nothing significant that didn't also come off after cleaning. If you like your cookware to look brand new after lots of use, then maybe avoid metal utensils, but if you're just asking for durability of everyday use I think you'll be very happy with this cookware set, however you may use it! BTW- make the very small investment in a bottle of Bartender's Friend (an excellent Stainless Steel cleaner if you're not familiar) and practically anything you do to this or any other cookware will virtually disappear.

It would be a great starter kit if you're easy going about music and willing to be creative, there's a lot you can do with this. However, if you're beginning out on the drums and want a real drum experience, you could buy this and be disappointed/frustrated. Regardless of whether a real set is an option for you or not, this will not give you the experience of a real set.

Nope, we bought the http://www.amazon.com/Hape-Playfully-Delicious-Gourmet-Kitchen/dp/B006WZLCZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380643032&sr=8-1&keywords=hape+play+kitchen starter set with it and a set of metal pots and pans from IKEA and then gave our daughter some real food (canned and boxed) and she has played with it happily now for months.

I could see no reason not to recommend it, they are a great set of knives, high quality, a little hefty (but that could be a good thing) just find and use a good back stop and since your new at it,(probably a large backstop to start out with), as you should with any throwing weapon, for your safety and the safety of others, and the fact that its very frustrating to lose one in the dirt, bushes, etc.

Only if you need the dice, some sample characters, or help to understand the rules. The beginner set comes with dice, sample characters, and explains step by step how to play.

Hi Carl, Did you buy this set?? If not, what did you buy?? I just bought a GE induction cooktop too and am searching for cookware that doesn't cost a fortune.

Answering as someone who purchased the set last summer: I'd say "yes". The box was very nice, the knives "quality". We gave this as a wedding gift and it was very well-received.

If you can afford it, the 100 piece set is a better value. My grandson received the 100 piece set from his other grandparents for his birthday and I added the 32 piece set for Christmas and will continue to add so there is plenty to "share" when his sister is old enough.

For my grand-daughter, I purchased a set of pots and pans as well as the Melissa and Doug (M&D;) cutting food set. She is 2 1/2 and plays with the cutting food set at the local library all the time. Her great aunts are getting her the M&D; baking cookie set and the M&D; grocery set. Hope this helps.

Sorry Kim I was talking about a set of J.A Henkle knives set I purchased. The 45 piece Hostess Set is great! Nice balance and weight. The set is worth every penny.

I am a beginner myself and had the same question. I ended up buying this set and have nothing but good to say about it. I offer a somewhat skewed opinion though because these are the only disc that I have tried.
