Cant wait to use every pot and pan i have.

Stainless steel pots and pans are very new to me.. for once in my life i was able to afford a nice set of stainless steel. After using for about 3 months.. i have to say the learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of using and cleaning... i ly think ill ever go back to coated pans. Low heat or High. It warms quickly and retains so much heat its ridiculous.. a close 2nd to my cast iron. Clean up takes getting used to but at least you dont have to worry about scratching and its always a good stainless steel buffering away from shine. I would definitely buy again if anything happens and id recommend to anyone who wants a great char on food and effortless glide on eggs all on the same pan.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

This set replaces an older one; the snug fitting glass lids are great. And I like the “nesting” feature for compact storage.

I checked several review websites in my search for new cookware to replace my non-stick and anodized aluminum cookware. This set was not only recommended but it also was quite affordable. The reviews weren’t wrong. They conduct heat very quickly and feel solid in hand. I also love the way they nest but don’t touch each other. You won’t regret getting this set!

We upgraded to this stainless steel set from a nonstick set. What a difference! I can rest assured that we don't have toxic chemicals seeping into our food. The cookware cleans up easily with a quick soak and handwashing or running through the dishwasher. I love the nesting feature and the lid holder. The sizes of the pans are perfect! I highly recommend this set!
