Purchased this set of cookware for myself and have not been disappointed in my decision. Cookware set is non stick and is finished in black. The combination of saucepans and fry pans are great for all cooking needs. The non stick finish makes cleaning the cookware so easy and a healthier way of cooking. The thermo spot technology there is no guess work when to start cooking. Anybody looking for a new cookware Tefal Ambiance is worth looking at.
