This set is phenomenal for the price. Quality is top notch, and it shows in the cook results. Preheating pans is key, and you don't need to go past medium heat to get a great sear on any protein and have had no issues with sticking (with cooking oil). Cleaning has been relatively easy but when needed using Bar Keepers Friend will get these looking brand new again in no time. Only mistake was when I ordered I thought I read that the set included a 10- and 12-inch fry pan but it was actually an 8- and 10- inch. I will definitely be ordering the 12-inch fry pan to add to my set. 10 out of 10 would recommend this set if you're trying to take your cooking to the next level.
