I got this set to replace a set I got a couple years ago. I have had this set for a couple weeks now. It is a beautiful set for a great price. I love stainless steel . Yes, it can stain if not heated enough before cooking but some bartenders keeper will get it off.
Remember it is stain-less steel not stain free steel. It does have some spots that can't be cleaned off but it doesn't bother me. I like the handles they are easy to hold and pour. It doesn't hurt my hand.
There is a lip on the pots and pans to prevent any liquids from dripping down the sides of the pan. I love this set so far. I totally recommend.

We wanted to switch from non-stick pans to stainless and this set seemed to hit the mark. So far we love how well the pans hold up to cooking and cleaning. I recommend this set.

Seems to be top quality, thick SS and we'll made. Time will tell. One needs to learn how to cook with SS pans and pots and know not to use high heat. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for crying out loud.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This stainless set replaced a Cuisinart nonstick set and has the same exact pots and pans, so that was a plus. Great stainless set. I’ve been careful to preheat properly, so I haven’t had issues with sticking. Everything cooks great and cleans up well. Very happy with this purchase!

within the first 6mths of owning.. The exterior coating has bled off the pots and fry pans that I use most and one of the frying pans, cooking onions... alone, no oils... now that one pan everything sticks to the pan. FYI: I hand wash (Dawn Dish detergent) OR use dishwasher w/cascade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
