I have not had a new set of pans in years, and these are GREAT! I used non stick before, but my how they have improved! I love the assorted sized, and the lids are a plus. I love how they are not too heavy. I have issues lifting some pans and these are no problem.  As time goes on I'll be cooking more and more with this set! Scrambled eggs were a breeze in the smaller skillet.
