The first thing I noticed out of the box was how beautiful this cookware is. With its copper outer surface and stainless steel cooking surface, it is an excellent addition to any kitchen.  Next, I noticed what is sure to guarantee long life, and that is the strong rivets holding the handles in place and the rugged handles.  This cookware will stand up to any use in a modern kitchen.
It seems to heat very evenly, so there aren't "hot spots" when cooking. It also lives up to its billing as non-stick as everything comes out quickly whether frying in the pans or cooking in the pots.
They also clean up very easily. A slight drawback is that the pans are not recommended to go in the dishwasher and should be hand washed.
I received this set for the purposes of review.
