We bought this to replace a Tramotina set that we had for about 10 years. That set was holding up nicely but we wanted new and shiny. Big mistake on our part. The first thing I noticed was that if you use a lid you had better use a pot holder when taking it off of a pot. The lid handles get very hot. Then the large shallow skillet got scratches in the Teflon, despite using only plastic utensils with it. And now everything sticks to it. No matter if you oil it. Spend the extra money and get something decent.

I bought this a year ago, the outside of the pans supposed to be black. Thru out the washing the paint started fading now their grayish color and looks ugly. I have been using plastic utensils, so it won't get scratch from the inside, but they still got scratch. Normally I don't have to replace my pans so soon but will have to spend money again to buy new ones. I should off just kept buying my old brand that actually lasted 10 years.

I've been looking for cookware for a while. I have some cookware very similar to these and they were great. I've check on these and reviews were good. I went yesterday and bought these. I check prices of the same cookware exactly under a different name priced up to 200 for the same. Follow the instructions on care and I'm sure you will get a good long lasting set of cookware.

The cookware is very poorly made. There were Deep scratches after cooking meat first time using bamboo spatula. Clearly it not made well as bones from goat meat was able to scratch into the surface.I don't recommend anyone to buy this especially with the deep scratches I don't know what chemicals it might be leaching into the food.

I am so happy with my purchase! These pots are beautifully designed and excellent quality. Sauce pots have pour spouts on both sides ( for lefties like me)as well as straining lids, more pans than I know what to do with, a Dutch oven and a stock pot. The nonstick Interior is really non stick. I highly recommend this cookware set.

I would have given a 5-star but there is one exception. I've had this set of cookware for a few weeks. The pots are great but the lid handles get very hot. First time I used hem, I dropped the lid because I wasn't using a pot holder. Does anyone else have this issue?

I purchased this set in the store. When I got home and started unboxing them I found that one of the lids was shattered. I boxed it up and returned it and bought another set. The second set had no damage. We cooked with the frying pans and they were nice. I used one of the pots with a lid today and after washing it found that there was water trapped between the metal and the glass in the lid and it won't come out. I can only imagine how nasty that could become over time. I still have the box so hopefully I will be able to get everything back in the box and return it. It is disappointing because the pans seemed nice and there was a large variety of sizes.

I enjoy this set! I am so excited to have a set that stains and can go from stove top to oven! One thing I learned from having non stick sets is that they should be hand washed rather than dishwasher. They just last better that way. I'm not sure but I think the dishwasher tabs used may be too abrasive. I would guess that if I had those high end sets, they might be more durable and could sustain the dishwasher better. Everything that can go in the dishwasher shouldn't. I would totally recommend this set and hope that it lasts for a good length of time.

We have been needing a cookware set for a while and we purchased this set in Tallahassee, Fl for $120 while it was on sale! My wife loves the quality of the pots and pans so far. They wash very easy - we scrambled some eggs and didn't rinse it right away and with one wipe over with our scrub mommy it came off.. our previous cookware wouldn't have came clean that easy!

Would definitely recommend
