I'm a single guy and searched around for an inexpensive cookware set (< $50) to support my simple minimilistic, single lifestyle. This set seerms to be the deal I need. Used my Amazon Prime membership 'next day' delivery ($3.99) and they arrived today. Each glass lid fits snug has a metal collared vent hole..I like that. The blue color I chose suits me. Bottoms are blue as well. The handles are comfortable and fit my adult male hand just fine. Thanks to my mother Jane; I -knowhow to cook...that is...carefully with moderate heat and mindfully. Many cookware set reviews on Amazon moan about warped pans and so on. I know better. I use low to medium heat ('frying' works on 'Medium' guys & gals!) and I closely monitor what the 'F' is going on whenever the range is in use. Frankly many folks are just impatient and thusly neglectful...so thier cookware sets suffer due to unintentional owner abuse. In 2012 people are too busy, too pressured and stressed-out. They have no patience. No time for such nonsense! The instructions caution about proper care and repeated detergent use..Most will throw the pamphlet out unread, then post a negative review. I have NOT used these pans yet. The 3 included utensils look fine and the turner has a nice beveled edge. I posted a product PIC so people can see the set on a 4 burner range. Pretty nice and I expect this set will show normal wear and tear same as a $200+ set by Paula or Rachel. (notice how much Rachel has changed?) The difference here is my 'cheap set' will never be abused or misused. Never improperly heated or improperly washed..I read the pamphlet. Single GUYS this is ALL the cookware you'll ever need!
UPDATE: Oct 8 2012
I've fixed Mac & Cheese twice and fried 4 burger patties using smaller sauce pan and skillet respectively.
Blue paint did not burn-off NOR did it emit toxic fumes as some ninny suggests...probably because I used medium heat to 'fry' and turned down the heat when my water for Mac & Cheese began to boil. Most users are not so mindful for whatever reasons. I am.

I took a gamble in buying these pots thinking they would be a quick solution to some kitchen issues. (I generally make a habit of seeing items in store before buying them online at all.) The Color splash Pots although aesthetically pleasing lack quality. It is shown in they're thinness and lack of ability with handling medium/high heats adequately. On the upside all the pots stack neatly inside one another so it is good in terms of storage. Good for someone moving into a small place and only cooking passively....but as for the rest of us? Best of luck-you'll need it.Best Deals for Gibson Colorsplash Merville 10-Piece Cookware Set
Positives: The serving spoon, slotted spoon, and slotted turner are nice enough. The pans stack well inside each other. The lids have hole in them to vent the steam.Negatives: Everything else. After only two weeks of light to moderate cooking, the bottom of the saucepan is burnt and discolored. The bottom of the saucepan was originally covered in the same paint as the sides and every time I cook, I smell the paint burning off. It is a rather toxic smell, definitely not appetizing. Food also sticks quite a bit to the surface of the sauce pan, so I find myself having to use more oil than I previously did. I will be getting rid of these pans asap. They are cheaply made and cannot handle heat well at all.
Honest reviews on Gibson Colorsplash Merville 10-Piece Cookware Set
These are not long term pots and pans. Good price and is holding me over until I can afford a better set. I cook daily and have used this for a few months now. I probably will have to replace mid next year I'm expecting. 3 stars for price to quality ratio.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Gibson Colorsplash Merville 10-Piece Cookware Set
After only a month of use, the inside has begun chipping away. Nice to know we've been eating chips of whatever cheap crap these pots are lined with! Also, the bottoms have all been burned!Don't waste your money. Spend a few extra bucks on decent kitchenware.
