I purchased this set of kitchenware and love it.
My last set was a very good set but so heavy
I hated to use it. The only thing you need to
do is use the right utensils with it and not
any metal.
I purchased this set at a department store almost 2 years ago, and have not been impressed with its durability. The nonstick coating on the larger frying pan has peeled off in the middle, and I'm afraid to use that piece, for fear that the nonstick material will come off into my food. The large skillet became warped very quickly, so it no longer sits flat on my glass-top stove, and it's almost impossible to heat food evenly. And the "rivets" that hold the handles onto the pots/pans are exposed on the inside of each piece, and are a pain to clean. I bought this set to replace an even cheaper t-fal set, but I think I'm going to have to invest in some quality cookware, rather than waste money on more cheaply-made sets like this. (Note: I'm not much of a cook. These don't get heavy use, but still haven't held up.)

I have used at least one pot/pan each day since I opened the box. I have not had any issues with food sticking and the inside and out clean up very easily. They are so good that my sons actually make their own omelets most days because the eggs don't stick.
"so far so good!"

I have been cooking using these for a while now. I can tell, for sure, they are amazing. This is my best set so far, well, not considering LeCreuset's cast iron items that I have. The only problem it gives me is that I can not put them in the dishwasher. It is recommended to wash them by hands. I stick to it. The sizes are right (I have a family of 3, even though I wish they had a little bigger pan for frying. So, make sure to check the sizes of all items. They come with nice see-through lids, which on top have some rubber and are cool to touch. I also started using less oil when I fry, so my cookking became a little healthier.
As to the word "HARD-ANODIZED" some people say it is not as good, as stainless steel. Come on, I hate stainless steel frying pans. They just burn the food. And I am not that bad of a cook and I cook every day. Well, I have done my research, and I still choose Hard-Anodized. It's definitely better and MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE HEALTHIER that Teflon coating and all those non-stick coatings that you find on aluminum pans that sell for 20 - 30 bucks or less.
So, good luck! Oh, almost forgot, I bough this set at a slightly higher price, so for you it'll be a great deal! Do not even bother to check other stores - Amazon has the best price, and I absolutely love Super Saver Shipping option :))

This is a great set. It cleans easy, looks great and is comfortable to use. The reasonable price is just the icing on the cake. The softgrip handles are awesome. The handles are comfortable and they insulate your hands from the heat (unlike some metal handles on other sets). I use these every day!
