I must commend T-fal for providing a range that is not only cost effective but just really good. Moving out of home for the first time and looking to invest in quality but that doesn't break your bank, I stumble upon this set. I had read a couple of reviews and decided to give it a shot. I have never been happier. You can cook without using oil or butter and the pans wash out easily. I once even left a pot on the stove on the lowest heat without realising for just over 5 hours!! Believe it or not, I used a paper towel to gather what was left of the food and washed it with no problem. If you are looking to invest in something that is good quality and affordable, I would recommend this brand! Happy cooking!
