I am a novice cook and I am having a lot of success using this cookware.  The heat indicator on the handle lets you know when the pan is ready to start cooking your food.  The pan even browns meats and poultry without using oil or butter.  I've never had such great success making pancakes, eggs, fried potatoes because nothing sticks in this pan.  It's super easy to clean..nothing ever sticks.  Would buy more from this line.
