I've owned a set of stainless Emerilware for about 5 years, have used them every day along with some other fry pans and Le Creuset, they have performed very well and look like the day we got them. I think the key is that they are a very good value -meaning that for the money you shell out (or in your case your BIL) you get a decent set of cookware. I believe our set was 6 pans with 4 lids for $199.00. Could have cared less that Emeril's name was on them quite honestly, they seemed decent and were a fraction of the price of All-Clad. You can do much worse.
One suggestion - buy a stock pot ( at least a 6qt., better an 8qt.) you'll need one sooner or later. The one in the Emerilware set is a 5qt. and it's a little too small.
