This is a great set of cookware.  I love the way it looks, and the function of it is absolutely wonderful.  I do use a tiny bit of oil whenever I'm cooking on nonstick, and I feel like I could not use any oil with this nonstick set because the surface releases food so easily.   I love how the bottom of the saucepans are more curved where the bottom and sides meet.  This feature really helps me stir and get all the ingredients thoroughly mixed.  It also makes it easy to clean.  It's really durable, and it says you can use metal utensils and even put it in the dishwasher.  I love this set so much though that I am going to use nonstick utensils and handwash most of the time so it will last for many many years.
