10pc Non-Stick Cookware Set - 2 Colors

Bought these about 2 years ago. Decent for about 4 uses before literally everything sticks to them. I bought this set to replace pans I had previously for 20 years. I would have been farther ahead to keep my old set. I only used low heat, hand washed (after allowing to completely cool), no metal utensils used in them, no harsh cleaners, and had them separated by those felt pads to keep them from scratching each other when not in use. Everything sticks to them. Any use of butter, margarine, cooking oil, olive oil etc. even when on low heat almost immediately turns the cooking surface black. Most times the pans have to soak overnight in order to get clean. Many a meal has been ruined using these pans. They are actually harder to clean than pans without a nonstick coating. I also made the mistake of separately buying the flat griddle pan which has the same issue as mentioned above with the added bonus of not sitting flat on the stove burner so heating is not even. Grilled cheese? 2 pieces of bread cooking right next to each other and they have completely different cook times and temps. One slice will burn and the other will look like it was just thrown in the pan. Want a good laugh? Try cooking some pancakes. That's a good time. Fun trying to flip them when they're so stuck to the pan you can't even get them out. Low heat and burnt food. How is that even possible? I also (unfortunately) purchased the special spaghetti pot with the special lid that locks on and allows you to drain the pasta. Great concept, but the pasta pot is so flimsy and thin that the weight of the water and one small box of noodles forces the handles outward just enough so that the lid won't lock in place when pouring out the pasta to drain it. I've had to stop using the lid and go back to dumping the noodles into a colander because this pot is a safety hazard. I actually lost an entire pot of cooked pasta once because the lid came right off when I dumped the boiling water out. Could have easily been scalded. Lids and handles? Shouldn't they be heat resistant / cool to the touch? Not these. Plan on using pot holders all the time unless you like burning yourself. The metal handles get as hot as the cooking surface. The handles on the pasta pot are made of a different material, but don't let that fool you - those aren't heat resistant either. All of the pans have minor chips in them and specks where the coating has come off. You can see areas where the coating is thicker in some spots. Best way to describe the appearance is that it is comparable to a bad spray paint job. After only a couple uses, the bottom surface of all of the pans are worn worse than my 20 year old set. The outside grey color has faded and looks similar to an old car with oxidized paint. If you're looking for a nice set of pans, keep on looking because these are not them! Save your money and get a real set of cookware.
