Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hello folks. I have been meaning to write a review about this product because when I saw some convincing reviews that this is a horrible product and showed pictures of how bad they were I almost did not buy them. It was the tone of the review though that had me think otherwise like maybe they were a competitor trying to steer me away. I also waited a year to write this review. so you can see what moderate use looks like. My interpretation of moderate is 6-10 times a week. the pots and/or pans get used. My wife and I both work so we normally cook enough on the weekends to so we have leftovers during the week. I have a gas range with the iron grates so these guys have no love on their bottoms. We REALLY like this set. They are very light which is good but it is also something to be mindful of since it can easily go sliding on the stove top. After a few uses your mind adjusts so it does not happen very often. Each item is well balanced and the handle never gets hot to the touch. Unless you put them in the oven then you should use a oven mitt etc… Just like anything else you would use in the oven. They are very easy to clean. We do not put them in the dishwasher though. Being non-stick makes clean up a breeze! We use all types of utensils plastic and metal and we had our first little nick in the finish which I will point out in the photo. We have used it about a dozen times after that and it has not flaked or any change so I am not concerned about it. No issues with the lids. They are all still in perfect working order. It is not perfect though. The biggest lid fits the biggest (10.25”) fry pan but the middle lid (8”) only fits the biggest pot and sauté pan but not the fry pan. it is annoying. 1st world problems, right? The rivets are not non-stick. those can take some work getting clean. Eggs in particular are a nuisance. Those are my gripes. that's it.. I take that back. My last gripe is the site page itself. They are reusing some pictures that do not reflect the T-Fal Titanium line. The best way to tell if you are buying the Titanium is that the base of the pan/pot will say titanium and the rivets will also be coated. That’s right folks they fixed my gripe in the titanium. I have the hard-anodized non-titanium version. I also have a 5-quart titanium sauté pan and the rivets are coated. That pan is perfect in my humble opinion just too big for normal everyday use. The photos are as of 3-14-2017. I only took pictures of the most used items the two fry pans and a pot. All others are in even better shape! Hope my review helps with your decision. Why is my non-titanium review in a titanium product page? I do not know. When I went to past orders and clicked on it this is where it directed me to. Honestly though.. If I had the titanium line. it would be 5 stars.
