I immediately opened this set of Anolon 11 piece set, first thing I noticed was how well constructed they are. The pots and pans are semi heavy. I use a gas stovetop and by using these on low heat I have had no issues with food burning or sticking in the non-stick pan. My favorite part of having this set is the quart markings in the pot, now I don't have to measure out stock, water, etc... I have cooked tacos, chicken, pasta, raviolis, eggs, and other quick meals for my family in these pans. Everything that I have cooked so far comes out very nice. The pans clean up very well, I use the standard dish soap and sponge. The color of this set is Indigo, they are a beautiful shad of blue. If you are in the market for a great set of pots, I highly recommend this set.
