This is high quality, well-made cookware. It is shiny and beautiful and feels heavy and sturdy. The handles are sized nicely, and I like that the lids fit different pieces within this set. The frying pans are shaped perfectly to do the little wrist-snap thingy to flip your omelet or to toss nuts you are toasting. I had no problem with food sticking in the pan when it was preheated with oil or butter. They worked perfectly on my glass cooktop.
