I like the nonstick coating on the inside, but the outside of the pots and pans is easily scratched. The set does not come with family sized pots and pans. They are small. Half of the pieces are lids, which I feel the company could have had some of the pots and pans the same size so the lids are not all different sizes.
These pots and pans heat up fast and cook evenly. I love the steamer insert - no more soggy veggies! The handles on the lids do get hot when using. Took off a star because even though I followed the recommendations to use silicone utensils and washed with a sponge the coating still got scratched. They still work but I wish my brand new set didn't already look like it's been used for awhile due to the scratching.
This is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. Food REALLY doesn’t stick even without oil in the pan——I tested with eggs—— and clean up is a simple wipe before washing. They are surprisingly lightweight for their size, so no more wrestling with one at the back of the cabinet. My only regret is that I didn’t buy them sooner.
