Burn marks all over the outside of pans after first use. Spots staining the inside of pans after first use, not burning food but inside of pans are burned and NOT STAINLESS! I am not impressed and do not recommend
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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!

Definitely not non-stick. In fact everything sticks and/or burns. I hate using them, I’d return them if I could. Not a good value for a family that uses them constantly. Would NOT recommend.

Food sticks easily

This is the worse cooking set I've ever had. The first specification says "HIGH PERFORMANCE STAINLESS Stainless steel cooking surface does not discolor, react with food,...." Food sticks often and easily in the pans. The pans stained/discolored after the first few uses. I even considered keeping the fire at a low level due to the fact that they're steel so it heats up quicker than non-stick coated pans, but same result. I regret getting rid of my non-stick Farberware, which I WILL be purchasing again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
