Review on Top-rated Farberware 17498 Ceramic Nonstick Cookware Pots and Pans Set - 12 Piece, Gray: The Ultimate Kitchen Essential by Paul Hyde

. When I first got this set I really liked it. The non-stick pans worked great and were easy to clean. BUT THEN the pans lost their non-stick properties after about 5 uses. It was NOT a gradual process - suddenly half the food I was cooking was stuck to the pan and I had to scrape and soak for hours to even try to clean it. Cleaning became impossible, and the white ceramics on the pans were now permanently blackened with stuck food that burned because it couldn't come loose. Very dissatisfied with this purchase because I have to buy a whole new set and you can bet it won't be the same brand.
