I've had other nonstick cookware that didn't hold up very well. I was skeptical to try this set. But I'm glad I did. This is by far the best nonstick set I've ever owned. One of the 1st things I did was cook eggs. They literally slide out of the pan. It also heats much faster than my previous set. They are very sturdy. Washing them is a breeze. Since they are truly nonstick, there's no soaking and scrubbing.
