Skeptical at first due to the textured finish in each piece, I was shocked to find not only does your food easily glide around the cookware, but provides for all around even cooking.  My first test was eggs.  Expecting them to stick around the edges or the bottoms, I found not only were they effortless to cook, but all that was needed to remove the residue was a paper towel. A time saver for clean up and upkeep.  In cooking hamburgers, the pan gave a beautiful crispy sear without overcooking and mimicked grilling superbly.  Interchangeable lids allowed for less time finding the proper one that fits.  Stackable feature of the pots and pans is a space saver well valued for my limited storage area.  The steamer basket insert is provides ample space for larger quantities of food.
