We've had this set for about 2 months now and love it! I've never cooked with stainless steel before, but we needed to make the switch to use with our induction cooktop. They are nice and heavy duty, clean up easily, and I've never had a problem with things sticking as long as I preheat the pan and use nonstick spray, butter, or oil. I've never had to cook anything on very high heat with these, medium to medium-high is max. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great quality stainless steel set!
