First off I wanted to say that I have had these pans for a few months. I had an initial reaction to them and I wanted to make sure I felt the same a few months later before providing a review. Here's my opinions:

THE GOOD - The pans are VERY heavy and as such do an excellent job of heat retention and transmission. They are beautiful and heat through/cook very evenly. Easy to clean, even when things stick (see the bad).

THE BAD - I have a lot of problems with things sticking to these pans. I find that as soon as the knob on my stove hits Medium, it's like turning on a "please stick to the pan" switch somewhere. Even cooking with no-stick sprays and oil doesn't prevent this.....at least not in my experience.

THE CONCLUSION - I love the heat distribution on these pans and I think they cook very well, but the sticking issue really puts a bit of a damper on my feelings for them. I have since purchased 3 individual non-stick pans for use when I know sticking will ruin the food. All in all the price is decent, but don't make the mistake that these pans will resist sticking.

I love this cookware! I have always used "no stick" cookware and every year I seem to replace it no matter how expensive it is. I realized that all the major cooking channel chefs use stainless steel cookware so I decided to try it. I will never go back to the no stick cookware. This is nice and heavy and if something happens to stick on it I just heat a little water in it and it comes right off. This is a great buy for the money.

The cookware purchased was to be used everyday in our home, and we really use it. With a family of seven the cookware is used several times a day with everyone cooking at different times. The cookware we were used to using was from pampered chef, and let me say that I thought it was good until the coating started to come off in our food. While shopping for cookware, we went to the county fair and watched a presentation on health craft cookware. This cookware seem to be the best for waterless cookware until they revealed the price at the end of the demonstration. Who in the hell has 3500.00 to spend on a set of cookware, I sure don't. The cookware set we found on amazon has been wonderful. I would recommend this set to anyone who is looking for a great set of cookware. The only problem I have with it is, it's not made in the U.S.A.

I am very happy with the set of cookwear. It is excellent quality and the price was phenominal. I have enjoyed cooking with it and would recomend it to my friends.

Great deal....bought two sets!~.......Chef's Secret 15-Piece Element Stainless-Steel Cookware Set.....It arrived super fast it's so nice yet not over priced!~

I have used waterless cookware all my adult life. I had Magnalite pots and pans for 50 years and decided that, for our 50th Anniversary, I would get some new ones. Magnalite is no longer available so I decided to try these. I have had a stainless pan before so I felt comfortable ordering these.

The first thing I cooked was frozen peas. I followed directions and the peas cooked perfectly but...the stainless pans stained! I tried another recipe...the pot roast...and made large stains that wouldn't go away with washing. Everything I cook leaves stains on the bottom of the pans. If I want nice pans again, I'll probably have to get stainless steel cleaner. I have followed their directions for washing and rinsing carefully so I don't know why they stain..... PLUS, the middle saucepan lid doesn't seal properly. BUMMER!

I own this cookware for about 3 years and I love it! I recently ordered even second set for my vacation home.

Oh my!! I am DELIGHTED with this cookware set. If you are looking for quality, look no further. Waterless and grease less cooking is healthy and easy with this handsome cookware set. Yes, it's more than I expected and I HIGHLY recommend this set to anyone who is serious about cooking.

I love these pots and pans. Only one draw back. There was a piece of plastic that came with the set and I have absolutely no idea what it is to be used with or for.

I had to rely on other purchasers' reviews before I decided to invest in this set. I'm glad I did. The price is right, but more importantly, this cookware will help me eat more vegetables. I cooked sweet potatoes as soon as I received the set, which turned out great. I burned the pot since it was my first try, but it was really easy to clean. All I had to do was boil some water with vinegar in it. Highly recommend anyone who wants to eat healthier for the new year.
