I just bought this set of pans and have used a few so far.  They have performed exactly as stated in the information.   I read all the accompanying info and am a little nervous about scratching them.  I have since put liners between each pot and pan.  It says to not put them in the dishwasher but they clean up so easily that it doesn't matter.  I have used little oil with these pans and a lower temp and they have worked great.  I thought the price was very reasonable compared to other Cuisinart sets.  I did buy more pots to add to the set.  So far, I am happy with my purchase.
