This is a great quality cookware set that has everything you need to whip a gourmet meal at home. The nonstick surface isn't the old-style coating like we all used to have. This stuff isn't going anywhere. In fact, it even claims to be fine to use with metal utensils. It's also dishwasher safe, oven safe, and distributes heat amazingly well. I have had many brands of cookware over the years but this has quickly become my absolute favorite.
