Very happy with this set
When I decided I wanted this set it was "temporarily unavailable" on Amazon, and I did not want to wait. So, I found it locally at a store that is taking over the world. They had it in red, and just a few bucks less. This was perfect, because it matches my red and white ceramic baking set.
What isn't shown in the picture is the 2 pans shown uncovered are actually a perfect fit for the 2 smallest lids. So all 5 pans in this set can be covered, just not at the same time.
I do really enjoy cooking in these pans. All of the lids have steam-holes. I like cooking rice in the saucepan because I don't have the problems of boiling over or sticking to the bottom like my old ones. So far, nothing has stuck to these pans. They have been easy to cook with and easy to clean.
I had been researching and shopping around for a new pan set for a while and decided on the wearever pure living set for several reasons. I wanted to stop using teflon. I like my cast iron, but...
I love this set
Pros:
- healthier than most non-stick ones on the market (I wouldn't touch Teflon with a 9 foot pole)
- the price is reasonable
- the pieces are just the right shape and size
- sturdy, not too light, heats pretty evenly
- not nearly as heavy as enameled cast iron (which supposed to be THE healthiest cookware), which is great for the wrists
- they do not slide around on my gas burner as some of my other pots.
- cleans up really nicely and without effort. Seriously, no other cookware I owned before cleaned up as easily as this one, inside and out. A wipe of a sponge with a drop of dishsoap is all it takes, rinse, done. For this reason, I havent even felt the need to put it in the dishwasher - saving energy.
- it is husband-proof, even when he overboiled or burnt something, it cleaned up just as easily.
- the handles stay cool and they are comfortable, I especially like the larger lid handles
- the lids fit well and the tiny vent hole in...
I WAS very satisfied with this set!

It's been a couple of months since I started using these pots and pans. I use them with the plastic spatula and ladle came with the set, but food started to stick on the frying pans. The pans do not appear to be scratched at all, but the stuck-on does not come off even after soaking them in warm soapy water for a whole day. For a few times, soaking did the trick, but no more. Also, the (inner) bottom surface of the small(er) pot has gotten several very small dark dots. I ran my fingers on the surface; I'm pretty sure tiny pieces of ceramic have chipped away. So, I was happy for the first few months, and I'm pretty disappointed now. I bought these for the non-stick surface. I read several Amazon negative reviews (1~3 star reviews) and found similar comments. I think $100 for 2 months is a little too steep. I'll try to work with the manufacturer. I will keep fellow Amazon shoppers posted.
