I've had these knives about a month now and have been enjoying them so far. The built in sharpener is great and the quality is very nice. I like the angle of the knife block so it fits nicely under any cabinet. My only gripe is there is an empty knife slot. The intention is for us to buy another knife to put in it separate from the kit. I wish there was an option to add on the additional knife with the full block purchase or pick a block with fewer slots so it doesn't feel like something is missing. The additional bread knife they suggest is also out of stock and apparently has been for awhile. Just feels like a trick and I would have considered a different block had I known.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a good set of pots and pans. They heat evenly, even on an old coil electric stovetop, and clean up nicely. And the stacking feature is great--that's what compelled me to buy them. Also love the little lid rack, very handy! HOWEVER, you don't get lids for all the pieces--the two smaller pans have no matching lid and the lids that go with the pots don't fit them, like an old set I had did. That's unfortunate and I didn't realize it. I'm curious if those are available to purchase additionally? I'd be interested in that.

This is the first cookware I’ve purchased since 1971 which was Club Aluminum. I was looking for something to approximate it in thickness and heft. I absolutely did not want non-stick as i prefer the latitude of cooking methods available without the nonstick surface. This set has proved to work well under various cooking methods with no problem. It is easy to use, clean, and store. I keep my pots and pans in a drawer so the “SmartNest” is a very much appreciated feature, as the handles do not protrude at an angle.

So far so good, heats evenly and scrubs cleanly with a little Barkeeper’s Friend and a light duty OCelo sponge. Stockpot is small, 6qt and I wish it came with a pasta insert; bought a separate Cuisinart 10qt stockpot and use a stainless colander now for pasta cook/drain.

Great stainless set. Was looking for something non toxic for my family and affordable. I found this set and it comes with everything that you need. It takes time getting used to food sticking but as long as you read the instructions before use you're good to go

I love that it all stacks together. It's pretty easy to clean, but if it's really stuck on you have to basically boil it off.

Love the stainless look but far from “stainless” as the inside/bottom of the pots are marked by items cooked. (ie pasta)
