They worked great for about 6 months. We use the 8" pan a lot for eggs and initially it was very non-stick. However, that began to change and now eggs, even with butter, stick. We always hand washed with non abrasive pads and never had the pan > medium heat, and always used some oil or butter. They were cheaper so we're not expecting greatness, but 6 months is a pretty short lifespan.

I loved these pans for about the first 4 months. Unfortunately by 6 months old ive had to toss 3 of them out. Everything sticks to them and starts to burn whatever you are cooking even with oil. Then they become absolutely horrible to clean. Not to mention you can see the uneven heat distribution.

This is a nice looking set of cookware, but the performance is definitely lacking. The frying pans are absolutely worthless for cooking very simple items - like eggs! Stick, stick, stick! The directions say not to use spray, such as Pam, which I do not. I always use olive oil and/or a little butter. Regardless, I am literally unable to flip an egg without horrible sticking. When making something with a lot of liquid - like a soup - the stock pot works fine. I am currently looking for other frying pans to replace these.

less than 12 months after purchase of this set, and I have to replace it. Although its appearance and language are all appealing, it you cook three meals a day everyday, this set is garbage. Uneven heat distribution, nicks and scratches after first use . Hand washed and silicone utensil, still garbage.

Really pretty set and as far as non-stick, great. However, the handles and lids get way too hot to handle. I also bought the larger 5 qt matching pan and the aluminum warped immediately. Although I like the look, I would NOT recommend these for regular use.

I bought this pan barely a month ago and it already looks completely ruined. The surface is scratched, stained, and discolored like it's been used for years. I followed all care instructions, used soft utensils, and hand washed only, yet it still looks terrible. Food sticks badly and cleanup is a nightmare. Very disappointed in the quality, especially for the price. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

It's a beautiful set, and I love the smaller stock pot. I receive lots of compliments on it. They washed really easily in the beginning. I have now had them 2.5 years. I wanted to do all I could to ensure these lasted. I purchased a storage rack for them so they each have their own shelf in my cupboard to avoid nesting them. I've only used silicone or plastic utensils, and I handwash them with a soft sponge. I also never cook on more than a medium heat. Despite this, the outside has gotten dinged easily, first noticing this a few months in. Also, the inside of the pans I use the most are worse for wear and have been in need of being replaced for at least 6 months. The inside has small chips and gashes, as well as doscoloring. It's a nice set, as long as you are careful with them and plan to replace in a couple years.

Bought this for my daughter's wedding gift. She didn't want to tell me that a pan failed. I guess other pots/pans worked ok but this one was a HUGE fail in my opinion. My daughter didn't want to complain about a gift and that's why I found out months later

I love the sleek look. The nonstick ceramic makes cooking an ease. They are delicate! Two of the skillets have scratch's! You literally have to hand wash them separately! You can't place them in the sink with other dishes. This is the only way I think the could have been scratched.

Set is beautiful for the first few months. Then slowly but surely they become discolored on the outside and leave staining on both inside and out. The nonstick coating is also starting to peel. I only handwash them and take very good care but they no longer look very nice after a year.
