I gave this product five stars because it's an excellent deal for the price. I highly recommend them and I'd buy them again in a minute. But there are a couple of things to know. First, nowhere did anyone give the sizes, so here they are: 1 qt. covered saucepan, 2 qt. covered saucepan, 5 qt. covered dutch oven, 9½" frypan (dutch oven lid fits frypan). Next, these pans are THIN. One of them arrived with a small dent even though the packaging was intact (which means it was dented while being packed at the factory). I don't give a rat's rear about that, but I know it's a big deal to some. Even if yours arrive pristine, you'll dent them soon enough just in normal use. However, this set (bumps and all) will last a long time. 18/10 steel is the best for cookware. My advice is to throw away all of your non-stick cookware, as the parts of the surface that are no longer in the pans are now in your (and your family's) bloodstream. Eat healthy and live a long, happy life!

I absolutely do not use non-stick pans they are totally not safe for cooking food as teflon or whatever else they put on it comes out into your food bit by bit and gets into your body. I was on a budget and did some research on the type of pots used in good resturants. 18/10 stainless steel is the best type of pot you can get to cook with and though the make/brand, etc may be different, under $50 for a 7 piece pot set is amazing. The chef's equivalent to this set can run your in the thousands, and honestly, just like cameras, the quality of food is not dependent on the price you pay for your cookware. I can sear scallops and make coq au vin in these pots just a well as any other pot. It is all about how good a cook you are. I use these everytime I cook and put them in the dishwasher and they are still good after everyday use for the past 6 months, AND even if it decides to fall apart on me within a year or two, it has paid for itself in delicious cooking.

Update: 10/22/2011

I have been frying, sauteing, boiling, washing, scrubbing these almost everyday since I bought them, and they are still going strong.

Update: I love these pots so much that I bought a set for my sister for Christmas. I use them everyday and they are still in perfect condition.

This is a serviceable set of cookware for the budget conscious. I bought it because I prefer not to cook with non-stick cookware and didn't want to spend a fortune. So far so good--cleans up nicely with a wool pad and has a level bottom so works well on my glass cooktop. A friend has a set of stainless that is not level and is difficult to use on a glass cooktop.

Decent cookware set that is value for money, beats buying individual similar quality cookware at the stores. I like that the handles are welded such that heat transfer is minimized so you don't really have to use a pot holder unless they have been sitting long on the stove.

I'm very glad to have this product. The stainless steel is really not-sticky, and the heat is very well distributed. I have even cooked eggs in the pan and they are absolutly not sticked, much more better than my last teflon pan! And without toxic residues :) Plus, the set looks very pretty. I recommend it!
