I received the product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. The AnolonX set is a top tier cookware set. The non stick surface makes it extremely easy to cook without food sticking to the bottom of the pan and clean up is simple. A lot of high end cookware tells you that you should only hand wash it but AnolonX is completely dishwasher safe which makes cleaning the pans even easier. I'm not sure how it works but this is the first pan set where I didn't have trouble getting meats to cook thoroughly. Everything cooks evenly and it even requires less heat to cook.
