We bought these pans because the hand-me-downs my dad gave me (which he used for well over 12 years) T-Fal Ultrabase~ which are non-stick, were starting to look a little rugged. I was happy with the buy of these pans (which I bought at christmas 9 months ago) but now they aren't as good as I thought. Out of the 10 pans, 8 of them have loose handles and the bottoms have scratched from clinking them around on the counter and in the cubbords. If we buy another set, we're getting some heavy duty pans, not non-stick as these were so disapointing. Yes, I put them in the dishwasher. Of course now that I know that putting "dishwasher safe" pots in a dishwasher will actually make the handle seals loose, I hand wash them now when I have the time. I am SUPER disapointed that the T-Fal Ultrabase pans that were 12+ years old have handle seals which don't even wiggle, dispite me putting them in the dishwasher for a longer period of time then these junky Mirro ones. I was hoping that the Mirro pans would last at least 5 years. Looks like they'll be in the trash within the next. Actually, I have thrown one of the small pots away because the coating on the inside had a big chunk peel off, which leaches chemicals into your food. I will not be buying Mirro pans ever again. The brand is CRAP.

I received this set as a gift four years ago, and am still using it until I decide which stainless steel set to invest in. I have no metal utensils and have handwashed all my dishes for the past eight years; however, the non-stick coating began to come off the smaller pots about two years ago -- one has no Teflon whatsoever at this point -- and they are now all in various stages of 'Teflon-shed.' The cookware isn't terrible, but I expected to use them for longer than four years. The likelihood that the peeling Teflon will be considered evidence of 'abuse' on my part and not a 'manufacturer's defect,' plus the cost of shipping it all back to Wearever, prevents me from returning this set under warranty. Purchase this set if you don't mind upgrading within a year or two to something more durable.

This is a good buy for under $50.00. The pieces have good weight and are well made. The handles are awesome, giving a firm non-slip well balanced grip. The covers have a vent hole and are sturdy. That they don't fit the frying pans seems like a baseless complaint to me. I don't use covers when frying anyway. The set looks great and cleans up easily. Heat distribution is good aswell. The heavier weight of these seems to distibute the heat better than most. As far as the non-stick surface complaints from some other reviewers, all I can say to them is buy some cast iron sets and age them properly. Maintaining a non-stick surface of any kind is a bit more work but will pay off in the long run for the ease of cleanup. I have bought the cheapest of non-stick sets and used them for years. It just takes a little common sense. And it helps if you are the only one cooking on them.. I would reccommend this set to anyone who doesn't want to spend too much.

After the very first use--the very first--the teflon coating is already peeling off exposing the steel below it. I made pasta in the pot and used a SOFT plastic spatula to gently stir it. After that there were already two spots where the coating had come completely off. Now I have used it about 5 times total and the coating looks like it has been scraped with a metal spatula hundreds of times. And no, I did not put it in the dishwasher. Not even once. I used a very soft plastic spatula and did not stir hard. I've had far better quality from an $7.99 pot purchased at a discount store. I seriously don't understand how the quality could be so poor and this company is still in business. Avoid this unless you want to eat teflon flakes with your pasta.
