Purchased this set as replacement of scratched non stick TFAL set. Have been cooking with these for the past 2 weeks and love them. Used less than 1 tablespoon warmed olive oil with fish, chicken and pork and no sticking. The rims don?t drip and the square shape corners make good pouring spouts. The sizing is excellent! Nothing under 2 quarts-other sets always seem to include smaller pans that I never use. Priced purchasing only the 3 sized pans I normally used and came up with $120-$160 depending on brand so this was much more cost efficient. Love the short handles and that the set nests to save space in my small kitchen! They have a mirror finish both inside and out, though I don?t know how long that will last. I bought them to cook with, not look at, so not an issue for me. The pans, not lids, are oven safe to 400 degrees-haven?t tried that yet. The set is about 20lbs with probably close to 1/3 of the weight being the glass lids. The lids are vented, but still need to lift the lid to check on food for the most part. The metal seam around the outside of the lid is more noticeable than on some other brands and has snagged on a couple of dish towels. The short handles can get hot-use potholders. Will probably last 5-10 years with everyday use barring breaking a lid, which will probably be impossible to replace.
