I’ve been using this set on a daily basis for about 5 years. It’s still works as good as new unlike other nonstick pans which generally last less than a year with the same use. Although I have another traditional set of cookware, I find I always gravitate to this set. I try not to, and contrary to the instructions I have over the years used metal utensils on occasion. Even so, it’s been reliable and a pleasure to use.  Another bonus is that handles are metal so I’ve been ablryto use the pans in the oven.
