Ok starter set just to have something to cook with but the pot themslevs are not very durable and you can stack them or the rivets can nick the edge of the pots and pans. This will also destroy the coating. If the non-stick gimmick is what you are looking for most pans can be made not stick with heating and cooking oil, and see as the steel rivets can damhe the pan I would not use and sharp hard metal utensils in them or theu would probably run the pans also. I will be upgrading to a full stainless set. Very disappointed with these.
