I am very pleased with this purchase. As someone who cooks very frequently, this is the perfect set. I have had it two weeks and used everything at least a few times. They are not non-stick, but I expected that when buying them and I am familiar with how to cook with ease using these. Copper isn't for everyone, so if you don't have time to care for these and do the upkeep on, these are not the best fit. Copper cleaner makes polishing these a breeze though, and they actually brighten up wonderfully. I would definitely recommend these for anyone who is passionate about cooking and knows how to use these. I am likely going to buy another set as a gift for a relative. The price is a steal, and these are very well made. I love that they are oven safe too.
