I've had this set for a couple weeks and I can say that I am genuinely pleased with it. I owned a Calphalon set prior to the Anolon and I am happy with the new purchase. The Anolon set is a little heavier than prior sets I have owned, but I find that it is very well made. The only downfall that I found is the handle may get a little hot if you do not pay attention to how it is placed on the stove (my prior set had rubber handles). The food cooks through evenly with very little oil/ spray in the pan. I found the food to come off easy from the pans. Cleaning the pans are easy and I don't see scrub marks from the sponge on the pan as I have seen in other sets I've had.  I use silicone cooking utensils to extend the life of the pan so I can not speak on how well it works with metal utensils. I would recommend the Anolon for everyday cooking. I cook on a daily basis at least twice a day and I am quite satisfied with how the set has worked for me.
