For 75 bucks these are hard to beat.

I had lot of high end cookware as a bachelor, and I was fully committed to it. I bought the T-Fal 10 piece set when I started to teach my kids how to cook and I have never regretted the decision. The pans heat nicely and NOTHING sticks to them. (Well, at least when you wash them. Eggs stick when you're cooking without any oil sometimes.) The finish is super durable. But I also don't thrash on them with metal utensils. (Wood & plastic only at my house.) I DO use a metal whisk ALL OF THE TIME in them with no ill effects. If you have reasonable expectations this cookware will serve you well. If you're expecting the same performance that you get with high-end stuff, you're: A) Delusional B) Not so very smart. C) A super cheapskate.
