We ended up throwing them out. We used the medium to low heat as you advised but they were hard to clean. I didn't want to go public and be mean about it. We see them use stainless all the time on Guy's Grocery Games, and thought we should try them. Not sure if they are the same pans, but anyway it didn't work out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The pots and pans works great if you know how to cook without it being non stick and it has nice weight. However when I opened mine there was already some dents on the metal. I assume it was just from welding. The box says to wash before use and dishwasher safe, so right out of the box I loaded it into my dishwasher and when it came out they all had an iridescent sheen to it. Also when packed away it has what looks like rust. This was after it was cleaned and dried, put away for 2 days before I used it to cook. I scrubbed it off but now I only hand wash them and leave it to air dry for a full day before putting them away. Since I cook every day they do not get put away. Nice set but a bit of a nuisance to care for.
I would recommend this to a friend!
