My last set of pots/pans was non-stick...for awhile, but then the coating started coming off. These don't feel like it's just a thin coating on the inside, it feels like the whole pot is made this way inside/outside and won't peel off. Cleaning them after cooking is ridiculously easy, I'm very impressed!
I was initially worried about the ridges on the bottom and it giving food something to stick to, however it does seem to help with the non-stick, maybe to keep something from having a big flat surface to stick to? However it works, it does work!
I also love the strainer lids, just turn the strainer holes to the opening and hold the lid on while you tip it...making mac&cheese for my 7 year old has just become easier.
These feel very solid and also heat really fast, I highly recommend them!
