As a novice chef, I try to make meals for my family; sometimes it is good, and sometimes it is not.  I never realized how my use of cookware affects my meals until I switched to AnolonX.  Wow, a beautiful sear on my meats with no burning, eggs in the morning that slide right out of the pan, and gorgeously sauteed vegetables.  This set is a dream, and my family has definitely noticed the difference in the food quality I have been making with these.  The tools make a difference, and these are top-quality pans that will last a lifetime!
