The set is very packed with essentials! We have used it to fry eggs without having to add butter or oil. The sizes that are in the set are wonderful and perfect for a growing family!
The cookware set is a great value for the price. If you are coming from non-stick cookware there is a bit of learning curve as we've found some food stains the pot. However, we discovered that ketchup (or any acidic) food will take that right up.
This a great set it has everything you need. It was time for a new set, I wanted something affordable but still need quality. I was a bit nervous to order online worried the stainless steel might be thin, but these are perfect. Easy to clean and do not stick.
I have had my pans for about 3 weeks. Not long. The cooking experience is very good although, the directions are very clear to not use high heat when cooking. We have have gas stove that is lass then two years old. Wanting to faithfully follow the directions I tried to boil a pot water in my largest pot for 25 min with no success. I finally gave up and turned the flame up to high. Within 3 min I had the rolling boil needed to cook my noodles. So far no negative ramifications to the pan. Cleaning in the dishwasher definitely works best to keep that shiny surface. I am disappointed to have a small chip on the cooking surface of two of the smaller pans already. Not too happy about that. I have only used wood or plastic utensils. I use Dawn dish soap. If that is you, only use the regular Dawn, not the "heavy duty" Dawn. I think that may have been what caused the chips but not positive. When I don't put them in the dishwasher it is very challenging to get spots from starchy foods off the bottom of the pans even when I immediately soak with soap and warm water.
Nonstick for sure. Use a little bit of butter before cooking eggs and they slide right off. The only downside is handwashing vs. dishwasher but small price to pay for ease of use!
