Review of WearEver Freedom Cookware 8-Piece Cookware Set

I bought this set when I first moved here because I needed something to cook with right away; I had expected to replace it soon afterward but it's lasted a year and a half now and seems to have plenty of life left!There are good and bad points to the set which I detail below, but overall this is a great set of quality cookware for basic cooking.

The good: first off, the glass lids are great - being able to see what you're cooking is a big plus for an amateur like me.Next, the non-stick interior is really metal-tolerant as advertised - I and my friends have used a variety of implements on the surface without damage, though for the most part I now use polycarbonate cooking tools or chopsticks.Third, the pots are flat where they should be, sitting stably on my electric coils at all angles. They're also super-easy to clean; I've never had to use anything stronger than a sponge on the non-stick parts, and the ceramic glaze on the outside is far easier to clean than exposed aluminum/copper/stainless steel.Finally, a big bonus is that the lids for the pots fit perfectly, and not only on the pots they come with, but also on the frying pans, which is great for simmmering things or keeping them warm or even preventing splattering (my girlfriend discovered this bit of cleverness :).

The bad:the large frying pan did have a small notch in its non-stick coating; however, it has not grown/flaked nor has the material underneath rusted.I'm not worried about it.Also, over time, the screws holding the handles to the pot bodies (on the outside of the pot) have become a bit rusty, but there is *absolutely no way* this could ever come in contact with the cooking surface of the pots.If I was more careful about drying, this would probably never have happened.Finally, it would have been nice if the lids had steam-release valves, but I've never found a set that has both steam-release and see-through lids that fit both the pots and the pans.I guess you can only ask for so much!

The recommendation: buy it, use it, love it, you won't regret it.
