All-Clad for 1/3 the price
By Matthew M. White
These pans are branded All-Clad pans (look at the bottoms). They cook evenly with no hot-spots. Even a novice cook like myself gets MUCH better results than with a cheap low quality pan.
I’ve had the 10 piece set for two years. They hold up great!

serious non-stick
By T. Sharp
I received this 10-piece set as a Christmas gift, so I have only been using them for a couple weeks. I was just looking for a couple select pots/pans for Christmas, but you can’t beat the price of the whole set. Initially, I loved the fact that the two little sauce pots have pour spouts and built-in strainers in the lids. Also, I’m a fan of hard-anodized cookware.
The set stores nicely – I stack the pots together, starting with the 3-quart saute pan, and the frying pans together. The lids I have to store by themselves.
Keep in mind that these are non-stick pans, and you may not use metal utensils with them. The inner surface seemed like it would scratch easily, but it’s pretty durable. At firstborn I wasn’t sure how they would hold up to high heat, or even cooking, since they are thinner than my Calphalon hard-anodized pans, but they do a outstanding job. Clean-up is a cinch – not one thing sticks! I even made apples with caramel sauce, and the caramelized, sugary syrup cleaned up ever-too-easily. Which leads to another thing – if you are looking to construct “browned bits” on the bottom of your pans, which I love for creating sauces, don’t look to these pans – seriously, not one thing sticks! They unquestionably are great at what they are – non-stick!
The only downside I have found so far, which is old news to me, is that the metal handles do not stay cool. The frying pan and sauce pots have long handles, which tend to stay cooler towards the end, but watch out when you go to lift a lid.
If you’re looking for a nice, non-stick, lasting quality cookware set, I commend these pans. They’re outstanding for the value, and come with a life-time warranty.
UPDATE (SEPT 4, 2011):
I’ve now owned this set for 2 years come this Dec, and they are keeping up outstanding 
Plus, I love the ease of draining pasta without having to dirty a distinguished colander!

Great product
By Real Comments
These pots and pans are great…very light, nicely coated so feed are not sticking to it, and easy to wash. The only bad thing that I detect is that the bottom of the pans/pots are effortlessly scratched and the outside is without apparent effort stained. That’s why I didn’t give it a 5 star. I would commend this product.
