After using this set, I hope it lasts the rest of my life so I can pass it down to my kid. I have never used a set like this, I have always bought the cheaper stuff but decided to upgrade. I would spend hours before soaking the dishes after cooking due to the poor craftsmanship of the previous dishes. These are simply amazing, I spent less than a minute to clean the skillet after cooking the worst thing...eggs. it came off with just water, which amazed me.  Buy this set! You won't be disappointed!!
