The 10-piece set features the essentials for a well-stocked kitchen including an 8-inch fry pan, 10-inch fry pan, 1.5-quart sauce pan and lid, 3-quart sauce pan and lid, 3-quart saute pan and lid and a 6-quart stock pot with lid.

“Lagasse is one of the most recognized chefs in the United States known for his culinary expertise and innovation. His regional New Orleans cooking style adds a distinctly different dimension to the current roster of celebrated chefs on the council,” says Jeff Kantor, President, GMM home at Macy’s. “With his help, Macy’s will continue to be an influential voice on today’s home and tastemakers, guiding shoppers in choosing the very best tools of the trade for their kitchens.”
