I bought this set because Consumer Reports gave it a 5 out of 5 score on the performance on the nonstick coating. After using the small pan about 5 or 6 times, this happened. Scrambled eggs cooked on low heat. I’ve never cooked on high heat, and never used metal utensils or even hard plastic tools. Always washed by hand with sponge and soap, wiping dry after cleaning. I had to use a nylon food turner to scrape off the most stubborn residue, which adhered to the pan almost like a coat of paint, impervious to the recommended cleaning method of sponge and soapy water. The pan now looks superficially clean, but there are subtle changes in the appearance of the coating. It doesn’t show any obvious damage, but the color is no longer consistent, with small differences in shading. When I cooked eggs again, using butter, I didn’t get a stubborn residue, and was able to clean the pan normally. I will continue to use the cookware carefully as long as I can, but I’m not optimistic about long term durability.

The handles get very very hot. One needs to where oven mitts when handling the pans.

This is a really nice set of kitchenware! The quality seems pretty good and they look and feel very sturdy. The riveted handles are very strong and comfortable but the best part is the frying pans, pots and lids are neatly stackable. They heat up nicely and clean up very easily. No need for any oils or butter if you are cooking and health conscious. I would recommend this as a nice medium priced complete set that stores away nicely.

Not mentioned in the listing, NOT dishwasher safe. The dishwasher will remove the exterior coating.

These pot and pan set are great. They cook really well and I absolutely love how you can nest them together without having to worry about them scratching. It saves so much space and keeps the pans like new.

I only use wooden or plastic spatulas and spoons on these and hand wash them, but I’ve noticed a number of fairly deep scratches on the 10″ skillet after several months of use. No problems with the pots. Maybe the food itself is what scratching the skillet? Apart from that one issue, I really like the set.

The stacking feature is very convenient and saves cabinet space. We haven’t used the set very long, but the non-stick coating appears to be durable. The heat distribution is even.

Outer coating doesn’t fare well in dishwasher, I’d recommend hand washing which is easy. Good non-stick. Do not use metal utensils! It scratches easily. The stacking feature is nice but you have to really align the pans perfectly.

Let me start by saying I started out with the stainless steel nesting set. It was/is beautiful! With a big fat However. The water spots and the film left behind by your food unless you soaked the pans. And no, I did not cook or heat at too high a temperature. It made me nuts. I’ve repacked the set to gift to my niece. When I saw this set I was thrilled and couldn’t be happier. I love the nesting capabilities of the set. Instead of a cabinet I store in a deep drawer next to my stove, they all fit with plenty of room to maneuver. The lid stand is on the counter in easy reach of the stove top. I didn’t rate scratch resistance because I’m very careful with themand only use either wood, hard plastic, nylon or silicone utensils. Never any metal. Very happy with my purchase.

I went to my daughters and helped put together a birthday dinner. These are the ones she had purchased and now I know why, 2 words! “USER FRIENDLY”. I bought a set, used the same box they came in to sell my Hexclad set for 3 times what these cost. The lid rack is ingenious and the nesting has opened up a lot more cupboard space I didn’t have before. Now the best part, if you wash them properly by hand, as specified in the instructions and use wooden or plastic tipped utensils, there is no reason why these will not be the last pots and pans you will ever buy. The lifetime warrantee will see to that.
