The pots are fine. The pans are horrible. Everything sticks no matter what temperature you cook over. I would not recommend.

We are pretty happy with the product however the edges are a bit sharp. Nothing serious but if you hit it just right, as I did, it can cut you. They are easy to clean and look great hanging on our pot rack. Great value for the price!

This is the best cookware I and my wife have used. I gave it a 4 only because I don't have a benchmark to compare with. Perhaps other products are better, but I don't see how. We've disposed of our "old" non-stick, light gauge cookware. The tri-ply base (and sides) definately spreads the heat evenly with no hot spots. Cooking at a slightly lower heat setting (electric smooth cook top) than we would have used with the non-stick has resulted in no sticking of food to the stainless steel surface and no discernible impact to overall cook time. Weight and balance are very good and the handles have no hard edges.<br><br>I plan on augmenting the set with additional pieces as time permits. I am very satisfied with its performance and highly recommend this cookware.

This cookware set is fantastic. It conducts the heat so that everything cooks evenly. I never have anything stick in the fry pans even without any oil or spray.they look great hanging from my pot rack...kinda completes my kitchen.<br><br>My only disappointment is that they are not as easy to keep shiny and spot free as the literature included suggests (even though I am following all of the recommendations). A bit of stainless steal cleaner and protectant has pretty much solved that though.<br><br>Would rate a 4.75 if that had been an option.

I have had this set for about a week and cooked about 10 meals with them. I am by no means a chef, but consider myself competent in the kitchen. I have cooked everything from scrambled eggs to home made pasta sauce. I was concerned about the sauce because I started it off in the large pan with garlic, onions, oil and then added the tomatoe paste into the pan. I was concerned about the past burning onto the pan before I transferred it into the pot, although it did not burn, it did mark the pan a little. The pan cleaned to like new with a little "BarKeepers Friend". Steamer attachment is great. Lessons learned and general observations: - The tri-ply construction is great, and does an excellent job conducting heat. - As with all non stick cookware, using the right amount of heat is key. I have a gas range and with few exceptions find myself using about 20% less heat than I needed with my non stick calphalons. - Personally, I like to cook. I bough this set knowing it was short one stockpot for my cooking style. I kept one of my old pots for when I get in a pinch, but will most likely pick up another piece or two of this set as time goes on and I identify my true needs. Overall, I would rate this set very highly and would recommend it others.
