I did not have any prior experience cooking with stainless steel, so was a bit nervous to make the switch from non-stick. I chose this set because it got consistently great reviews, and many said it was a good substitute for the much more expensive All-Clad. I am thrilled with my cookware and find it easy to use and easy to clean. I just googled and watched a few YouTube videos on how to cook with stainless, and have not had a single issue with anything sticking, even over easy and scrambled eggs. I love this set so much that I just purchased the 5.5 quart stainless steel casserole pan with cover and I am impressed with it as well. I have used most pieces of this set and find it very versatile and a good deal for the number of pieces included. I have no hesitation recommending this set and will definitely add more of this line to what I own already.

This set has been on my want list for a long time. They were worth the wait! They are a joy to use and I find myself cooking more often. And they look nice too! For those of you who have not tried this type of cookware before, I have a gas stove and found that low heat and some oil give the best results.

I was afraid to switch to stainless, but it's not really a huge jump from nonstick after all! I really like this cookware. The only thing I would change would be to add more weight to the handles. There pots are heavy but not counterbalanced well, so if you have weaker wrists you may be more likely to spill boiling water all over the floor. For example. Hypothetically.

I grew up with good pans and haven't had any in years because I, like many others fell for all the 'new' gimicks. Because of the poor quality or the fact that anything non stick is just a coating, I've bought WAY TOO MANY sets of pans. These, I'll have for the rest of my life. I LOVE THEM

The triple ply (stainless around aluminum core) through the whole pot (not just the bottom) is great. Distributes heat as well as 5-ply sets costing 3 or 4 times what I paid for this. The stock pot was a little shorter (and wider) than my previous set and that allowed it to fit perfectly in a drawer with the lid on--convenient. Only quibble--I would switch out the sauce pans for sauciers which are easier to stir, whisk, wipe, and clean and more versatile.

I've always wanted a really nice set like this and I am glad I got it. It's a bit more labor-intensive than I'm used to. Thankfully I ordered Barkeepers Friend at the same time; it makes all the difference and wouldn't recommend any one buying this cookware without it. (I did make the mistake of leaving BKF to sit in the small frying pan. I don't think that pan will ever recover.) And I haven't solved the sticking problem if foods like potatoes and eggs, even with oil. All in all, I am happy I bought it, but to do have a couple of "no muss, no fuss" back-up frying pans. But do understand that it takes some work to keep it looking nice.

I bought this about 6 months ago. The product works great, although the bottom of the pans discolor or lose their shine with use. I treat the pans with care, do not use a dishwasher to wash, and there is still discoloration, but no noticeable difference in performance what so ever.

I had always had non stick pans, but with the u healthy issues they have from birds to people, I switched and the thing thst kept me from ever teying them was I had heard about how hard they were to clean. I found that not to be the case at. And I wash & dry them by hand. So Im sure that helps. They bottoms need extra cleaning to keep lookibg new. But follow the care directions and alls well.

I love this set! Bought it a month ago and use it everyday. Good conduction of heat, even heating, gives a nice seat. The set has, for me, the perfect number of pieces in the right sizes. Covers all my needs and I’m a pretty regular cook! You won’t regret this purchase!

Did research before ordering this set and found this to be the best for the price. It is very high quality, but it's heavy. A little concerned that someone in my family might drop on my glass stove top or in the sink and it will do damage. Also cleaning is a bit of a pain. Found that Barkeepers Friend works pretty good to restore the shine.
