T-fal Basic Nonstick Easy Care 10-Piece Cookware Set 4.6 5 98 125
My set lasted eight years! I bought a T-Fal set very similar to this one in 2001, when I was a poor college kid. I used these pots and pans daily for eight years. Now I'm a richer adult and finally replaced them a couple weeks ago. The T-Fal set was in good enough condition to give to consignment, even after eight years of daily use! Both my roommates and me used these pots and pans throughout college, and we didn't necessarily treat them like gold. They definitely sat with mac-n-cheese in them for days on end, were scraped with metal spatulas, etc. yet the nonstick coating did not come off. I highly recommend purchasing these for your son or daughter's first apartment! 07/08/2009
Not exactly Emeril's pots and pans, but they work ...quite well! I have not been using them for very long, but there doesn't seem to be any problems with them at all. No burning, no flaking of the non-stick coating. I have, of course, been careful in my usage of them, avoiding using any metal utensils with them at all. Cook with common sense, use the right tools, and they are a great starter set of pots and pans! 09/05/2008
Love them! The lids are glass, but they are pretty heat and shatter resistant. Mine have been dropped several times and my husband has let water boil completely into vapor a few times in these things... Great pots n pans, especialy if you abuse your cookware like us! I love them so much my mom, grandma and last room mate all have a set bought by me! Great wedding/ housewarming gift! 09/04/2009
MAKES SCRUBING POTS AND PANS EASIER I bought these because my wife had scorched and burnt every stainless pot and pan in our house. so far she hasnt been able to ruin these 12/29/2010
