I am very happy with this purchase.  I am not a chef by any stretch of the imagination.  I cook for my family and that is it.  My mother got me a nice stock pot several months ago and I really liked it.  I decided to get the set to match it.  I love the silicone handles, non stick surface and how they heat up faster than regular pans.  Clean up is very easy.  It says they are dishwasher safe but I always was my pans by hand.  So I can't comment on how dishwasher safe they really are.  For a set of cookware for your everyday family cook, there are great and very affordable.  I paid less for the set of 11 than I would have paid for 3 pans separately.
