Our youngest son is now in the military and is launching out on his own. He needs every thing and of course, right away. How quickly they grow up and find out, that like every one else, we all started from scratch! This is to be his first set of pots and pans. Nonstick is a great choice for obvious reasons. A complete set is very nice and should last him for years if treated properly. Chef's Classic is a great choice for the beginner or even for the experienced parent! I loved this set the moment we unpacked it. Time to renew my own tired set and replace it with Chef's Classic! Very impressed.

Pros: Very affordable and great quality for a complete set. There are also addition pieces available.
Cons: So far none.
