I can't speak for everyone -- but I bought this set for my wife some months ago (we have a decent size family). She uses them 6 days and week and has loved them. We use an electric stove and have had no issues with stickiness or cleaning (even though I use them too LOL!). 6 months later they look nearly as new as the day we bought them. I give them an A+ 100%.

I SEARCHED LONG AND HARD FOR SOME POTS & PANS! I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE! There everything they said they were & better than I expected! JUST MAKE SURE TO SEASON THEM LIKE THE DIRECTIONS SAY TO & do all the pans....eggs n such really do slide rite out of the pan...I've had nothing stick at all! I can't wait to add to my collection! Great product, Really good price.

I'm very happy with this set, very safe due to the ceramic coating, no scary chemicals. So long as your friend is careful not to use very high heat it will stay non stick and just wipes clean, I don't need to even wash it as stuff just slides off the non stick surface.

I have had my set for a couple of years now and it still looks like new. I have never burned anything in it and it can clean up with just a wipe of a paper towel. I would rank this set up there among more expensive brands. I would highly recommend this set for your friend.

I wouldn't get her those. Ours stick way too much and are very frustrating to use. i would try and find something different.

I would say for the ease of cleanup after cooking, this set is very desirable-plus, because it is a ceramic coating, it is a LOT safer to use.

We gifted a full set of the Cuisinart greenGourmet cookware to our daughter and one 12 inch greenGourmet skillet to our son. So far, they both have been very satisfied with the product.

I agree with the previous comments. These pans are not very non stick, it also chips off easily. I am very disappointed with them.

I got the pots and pans for my mom as a birthday gift and she loves them. She said that all she has to do us add a little oil or butter before anything else. She also said that is all she will ever cook with again

Hi! That was one of the reasons I wanted new cookware as well! This is not heavy which makes cooking so much easier! This is the best set of cookware I have ever owned!

I would contact All-Clad via internet or a dealer and ask them. I have the set shown here, but in truth, we have just cook soups and stews in it so far.

They are light and easy to use. My husband loves non stick pans since he is the cook but we also have Cuisinart stainless steel pots and pans that I love and use often. Light and easy to clean.

The pans say it is best to hand wash them. However, when we bought our new induction stove I asked the salesman if there were some pots and pans he'd recommend that were ecofriendly, non-stick and could go in the dishwasher. He recommended these wholeheartedly. We have been putting them in the dishwasher for about four months now with no problem. For the most part the non-stick works pretty well; sometimes you cook and things do stick. In that case, we soak them and scrub them with a safe scrubber and then either hand wash or put in the dishwasher. Note: The salesman I worked with is a very good chef and knows a lot about pots and pans. The pans say it is best to hand wash them.

This is just like having a regular cook top. Any cookware is fine, even visionware

The Emeril set which Amazon promotes every so often is excellent. At a lower price point you might look at the Rachel Ray Porcelain Enamel. Her new Oval pans are wonderful on crowded stove tops.

I had to toss my old copper-bottomed Revere Ware (warped, which I didn't notice on a non-glass top stove), and my grandmother's cast iron cookware (uneven on the outside). I now have a Cuisinart stainless steel set (copper in-between stainless), and use the Circulon Contempo pans for things like eggs (or when I just want an easy clean-up). They both work (the concentric ridges are inside the pan, not outside), with the Circulon being easier to clean, but slower to warm up, and Cuisinart being much more elegant to cook with. I have had the Circulon pans for about three years, with light use - they don't have a scratch on the, to my surprise (I don't use metal utensils with them, and I usually use a little oil).

Ebay is your best bet for selling copper cookware. The good stuff like Bourgeat holds it's value.

You might also consider carbon steel cookware. Lodge makes that also. More like professional cookware. Care for like cast but a lot lighter weight. Works great with induction burners. Safer for glass tops.

depends on the piece. larger pots have a heavy bottom for even cooking. had mine for at least 40 years, wouldn't haveanything else (I've tried a few along the way) After all these years, I still think Farberware is the best. Don't know about the new (non-stick) skillets.

I have a full set of Analon Bronze Nonstick cookware. They are all fabulous. You can cook anything in it and it wipes clean with a swish of warm water, dish detergent and a sponge.

I hear cast iron is good but I am not a fan of them. I love the Calphalon non stick anodized. Cooks evenly and is a great product!

Herman, Kindly refer to the manufacturer's details at http://www.t-falusa.com/. My caution is that the set is NOT all 'non-stick'. The description says "*Stainless steel cookware with nonstick interior". However, of the six pieces of cook wear, only two are non-stick the others require something abrasive, and elbow grease, to clean.

Thank you so much. I have the Emeril 8 and 10 inch skillets and absolutely love them. I have them 4 years now and they look brand new and perform perfectly.

Thank you so much for taking your time to let me know about this cookware. I'm buying it!
