It is so fantastic to have an extra set of pots and pans that are not cheap. This set shockingly surprised me in the fact of how quickly it heated up. We have an electric stove and I am always hesitant about the cookware we use as it either takes some time to warm up, or has a burnt smell. This heated up extremely well and did not burn the entrees we made. Eggs are a breeze, fried hamburgers, shrimp, anything really was quite easy to make and had great flavor! This set also comes with your typical cookware utensils which withstand high heat! Great set and would make a great wedding or housewarming gift
