You can get a Basic Sam's Club membership for $45 with $45 in credit to be used on an in-store Sam's Club purchase within the first 60 days. This will remove the $20 "handling fee" (ie. 10% surcharge for non-membership), but you will still be charged $12-ish for shipping.
The Slickdeals page for Sam's Club membership says the deal is good for in-store purchase only. Below is one that's good for online purchase. I'm guessing SD won't like it that I'm posting, so I've put spaces in the URL. Remove them and visit. There's no sort of referral in the URL, it's just the coupon code that activates the $45 store credit.

These can be "non-stick" with proper preparation AND care/cleaning (no soap). There are videos that show you how to season stainless steel cookware. The video will go into how to clean them as well. And after cleaning they need to have a light oiling on the inside.
My wife told me that she had to relearn how to cook in them because they heat up so quickly and evenly.
She absolutely loves them. She has also stated that she could see how the maintenance of them would be a "non-starter" for some.
I may be misremembering, but I think this is a good price for a 10-piece set let alone a 14-piece set.
. i use an all clad skillet, but for pots these are actually better because the all clad handles suck

My saute pan either warped the first time I used it or was never perfectly flat, as it doesn't sit flat on a glass-top stove. I could probably file a warranty claim, but I ended up replacing it with a 6-qt All-Clad. This is part of the reason why I feel like my saute pan was a bit smaller, as the All-Clad is definitely bigger, but maybe it's just wider and shallower.
I still recommend this set. It can't be beat for value at second-tier quality. First-tier stuff is way more expensive for minimal returns. The rest of the pans are great, and I don't feel like I got a bad deal. The "warped" saute pan was still very usable, too; I'm just picky.
Yes, one downside to this set is the lack of flared edges. It just requires treating them a little differently and will be slightly less convenient for things like slowly pouring hot stock into risotti, but you can find workarounds like ladling at first and pouring the last bit. I have a really nice Demeyere saucier with flared edges that I use when I need that, but I paid $100 on sale for that pan alone. I haven't seen a pan with properly designed flared edges for pouring that is also as high quality as these for less than that, except maybe a factory second at TJ Maxx. The All-Clad "damaged box" 6 qt saute pan that has flared edges was $150.
As for cleaning, I haven't found them any harder to clean than any other stainless steel pans. If I really manage to gunk one up, I'll either just run it through the dishwasher or soak it. If it starts to look a little discolored, I hit it with Bar Keepers Friend.

Does this mean the parts could be made in china and then it is assembled by in brazil? Never heard of the term "component country".
All clad is definitely American, but comes at a hefty premium. I have a single d3 pan and it rocks.

Best cookware deal I ever snagged. The set has so many components for the price and the pieces are on the bigger side. This allows me to batch cook while still being able to give space to ingredients to get sauted and not get steam cooked, things like that.
I also have cuisinart multi clad pro set and find it to be thicker and deeper than these. abd cuisinart has flared edges on all pieces, not just smaller pans. But these are more wide open and better sized for sautéing of which I do a lot. I don't like the straight lip around the edges in some of these, it is not a deal breaker though. Because it is thinner than my cuisinart, the canola oil does form a thin golden brown burnt film on the edges with extensive sauteing sessions which goes away with a bit of scrubbing with BKF and elbow grease or boiling the pan in vinegar and water and then quick scrub.
Good set priced aggressively. Often cuisinart multi clad pro goes cheaper than this. And if you want more solid built and flared edges over wider spread and bigger pans, I'd wait for those. For me this was a no brainer at 80$.
Hope it helps.
