This set looks so good it inspires me to cook! The instructions helped me to keep the cooking surface spotless and non-stick. the venting system for the pot prevents boiling over. The size of the pots and pans are perfect so far for each dish I have prepared. The design of this set allows me to cook at a lower heat and achieve consistent results. very even heating across the surface. The only downside is that the handles readily transmit heat, so you have to use potholders when you utilize them. i love these and they are now my go to pan set!
