I looked for hard anodized cookware for pretty long time but I couldn't make my mind. This set is all I wanted. Very nice look, sturdy and yet not too heavy. I tried my favorite recipe for beef stew using big pan. Unbelievable! It cooks meet from inside and the flavor is so much better. Yes, I am very happy with my Gift. Will highly recommend this set to anybody. If you want to buy a similar set in the Mall, you will pay almost $300

Pros: great value and quality
