Purchased on Black Friday as a gift to myself after a long research process.  I am a retired food scientist with experience as a professional cook. The set is everything I hoped it would be.  Every piece of this set is useful.  The best feature is that it is truly non-stick even after three months of regular use.  It is very easy to clean.  If there were one thing I would change, I would offer a lid for the smallest frying pan.
