I looked and looked for this cookware set and everyone wanted [$]. I couldn't believe when I found it here for so much [...] I am thrilled with this set. As many have said, don't turn the heat up too high as these pans conduct the heat very well and you don't want to burn your food. I use a little of the Bartender's Friend on the bottoms. Just a little squirt and swirl the nonstick scrubbie around and they look like new. I think this is going to last for a very long time. Well worth buying a "good" set without breaking the bank.
