I really wasn't expecting much from these pans considering that they have the as seen on TV tag but WOW!  They are very nice looking and don't weigh very much.  I sauteed some mushrooms and onions with zero oil and nothing stuck.  Water comes to a boil fast in the pots.  The handles are shaped to ergonomically fit your hand.  The only downside I have found is that the handles get hot, like very hot so make sure you use a pot holder if they have been on the stove for awhile.  All in all this set is awesome and would make a great addition to anyone's kitchen.
