Since you're taking the time to read through 5 star reviews, my guess is you have read the 1 star reviews already. The main point left by the low star reviewers is that everything sticks and these pans are hard to clean. This is definitely true if you have not used stainless steel in the past. If you're new to stainless steel pans, please take some time on YouTube to learn some of the quirks of using stainless steel. It's a different experience from any other material, but it's also a whole lot better for most of your cooking.
I received my pan set not too long ago, but have put everything, except the stock pot, through the paces. From stove top to oven, these pans have been terrific. I have had no issues with foods sticking, no issues with cleaning (aside from standard stainless steel scrub requirements), and no other issues. The aluminum core makes the pans heat evenly and it dissipates the heat much faster than copper, giving me some of what I miss by not having a gas stove.
Overall, I cannot ask for a better pan set at this price point. If you're looking to replace your current stainless steel pans, look no further. If you're considering your first set, do some research on how to use stainless, then look no further.
