I bought this set because a family member recommended but don't think I'd ever invest in stainless steel cookware again.  Certain foods such as eggs don't cook well with this and clean up is a royal pain.  Heat conduction is way better but if you don't scrub the pans right away you can't get the mess off to save your life.  Other stainless cookware that I've used cleaned up beautifully but not sure why these pans don't.
