love these pots! they dont stick and are very durable not cheap looking at all

We bought this set for our college student daughter and it has been wonderful for her. It's everything she needs for her first apartment and so far so good. Nothing has been sticking to the pan, easy to clean, and associated storage bowls have been a bonus.

I got these for around $50 and I think it's a great deal, since most other cookware sets are around 100 dollars. They also came with some utensils and 4 glass bowls. I don't love the utensils because they're not in the best condition and it's too bendy for me.... I haven't used the glass bowls yet but they're not the fresh seal kind of lids so for now I'm sticking with Rubbermaid containers. But overall the pots and pans work wonderfully. Easy to use and easy to clean!

This product is good and its worth buying it. I was able to cook well and it with stands the heat as much it can. Thanks for the product.

I bought this cookware set for my g/f, it is a basic cookware set with a few extras. The utensils are not going to last long as they are thin plastic. i have not used the glass bowls yet but they seem like they will do the job. The pots and pans are on the small size, so if you are regularly cooking for a family of 4 or more I would not recommend. Overall, good bang for the buck, but if you cook often and for more than 3 people I would get something else.

I bought these to furnish a kitchen and they do a good job, just dont put them in the dish washer, they wear out faster. I also use a gas stove, which also wears them out faster as well. They are an ok set though, And the bowls they come with are a nice glass, but the lids are cheap, but.. again.. do the job :)

Well its just a few weeks that i am using it....stockpot,frying pan and saucepan are going good....the worst part is the spatulas it is not heat resistant.....2 of them are already melted....if you have a little high budget can think for better piece.

Don't fool yourself, this is not super high quality stuff here. That said, for someone who is starting out on their own this set is great. The non stick surface seems to work very well and the extra glass containers are a nice bonus (although the smallest is so small I have no idea what I'd ever use it for) and the spatula and spoons are decent quality. Overall I say this was a wonderful purchase for the money, I just hope that they hold up until I can afford a nicer set.

They arrived quite fast and I was anxious to start using them. They were packed carefully. It took quite some time to get everything out of the box. I like teh fact that there's more than just pots and pans. My roommates love the items, especially since they are non-stick. Makes you feel like you are a professional cook. Loving them!

This was purchased as a present for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. Great item.

Appearance:
Items look exactly like you see in picture. Color does not fade or scratch easily.

Functionality:
These items are used every day 2-3 times. They are in perfect condition after a month of every day use and wash. No scratches, dents, or broken pieces. I absolutely love this set and I am happy it was so cheap. The utensils are not flimsy. Yes, they bend, but what doesn't if you provide enough force? They do not bend easily, but if you plan on using one as a javelin to fling yourself over a pole, it's probably going to break. But be real, what 100lb steak are you going to be cooking?

Overall:
BEST pots / pans / tools ever purchased from anywhere and I recommend them to anyone looking for a cheap but legitimate cooking set.
