I purchased the Cuisinart 14-piece hard anodized cookware set just before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I really like this set.  It's very attractive. I really enjoyed cooking with it and I especially like the easy pour rims.   Because of the non stick surface,  cleaning  the pots was a breeze.  The only negative is that food such as grits or even rice get stuck between the gap of the glass lid and metal rim.  I make sure I pay close attention when cleaning the lids.  Otherwise, I am very happy with this cookware set.
