This cookware set is a very affordable way to equip a new kitchen, with the understanding that the cook might eventually need to buy extra pieces once they know what pans they use the most and what pans they wish they had. The best nonstick cookware is easy to use, easy to clean, and the smooth slick coating prevents food from sticking to it. People are more health-conscious today. They like using less oil, prefer olive oil, and porcelain nonstick cookware allows you to do this.
