If you DO want NONSTICK, then do not buy this set.
This set is of decent quality as to the weight of the pans and construction. The "Non-Stick" feature is quite questionable. To look at the pans, you would not think that they are nonstick because of the finish of the metal. They are not coated with anything at all.
So far, I have only used the cookie sheet and the cookies did stick a bit. I think you would have to use nonstick spray/butter/grease on each pan in order for it to be nonstick.
The small pizza pans are cute. They are extremely shallow though. It is basically a flat tray with a rolled rim.
The cookie sheet holds about six cookies of a small size. It only takes up half of a rack in my toaster oven. I was really hoping it was going to be at least slightly bigger. It was the main thing that I wanted. I was not able to find them in any local stores. I saw the set here and figured I might as well just get that. If the cookie sheet did not have the shaped sides/gripsides, it would allow more baking space. I did read the dimensions, but never thought of the shaped sides as taking up so much of it.
The main downfall of this set is the lack of nonstick, since it is advertised in the product name itself. As I said, the actual construction of the pans is ok quality for the price. I think they should omit "Non-Stick" from the product name though. It is misleading.
This is my toaster oven and I highly recommend it.

This is a great set of bake ware for the toaster oven. The items are a nice weight, and clean up easily. These little pans give one the ability to bake small items or meals for one person and you don't have to heat up your big oven. I baked a half chicken in the deep pan, and it did a good job. It is nice to have the matching wire rack, to drip the fat off of your meats. It looks like this set will last a long time, well made. I looked a long time for size type of bake ware. I use my toaster oven every day, and the different shape pans in this set makes my little oven more versatile.Best Deals for Discount Download OvenStuff Non-Stick 6-Piece Toaster Oven Baking
I bought this for use with a super-cheap Black&Decker toaster oven I bought elsewhere (starts with a K). The main thing that interested me were the circular pans for cooking pizza on. They work great for really small pizzas like Celeste and Home-Run Inn, but do not fit larger pizzas like Tostinos. The vented pan works perfectly for fries, but I have not had a chance to use the roasting pan yet. Overall, this set is a great value for the money. I have had no issues with washing them, but I wash things by hand so I don't know how they would hold up in a dishwasher. They were really well packaged with each pan wrapped in brown shipping paper and neatly stacked with one another. Great job by the seller!Honest reviews on Discount Download OvenStuff Non-Stick 6-Piece Toaster Oven Baking
I got these pans 4 months ago and absolutely LOVE them!I did oatmeal brownies in the broiler/cake pan. Halving the recipe I had was perfect to fit the pan.
I have been doing mini pizzas on the round pizza pans. Pinching up the dough edges is all that is needed to hold the toppings. I prebake the home made crusts then put on the toppings and slide the pie back onto the rack for perfectly crispy little mini meal pizzas.
Broiling.. can't beat it. I like to buy chicken thighs and legs on sale and bone them. I can put two boned thighs or four boned legs on the broiler rack and they come out perfect. Steaks, chops and burgers have also come out just perfect.
Clean up... after broiling just toss them in a sink of hot soapy water and use a wash cloth to avoid scratching.
For baking I do use a bit of shortening to grease the pans.. brownies lifted right out after cutting with a plastic knife (to avoid scratching), pizzas slide right off the pans. Wash up.. hot soapy water and a wash cloth.. the pizza pans have each done a dozen pizzas and still look brand new!
I'd actually love to get more of the pizza pans so that I can do larger batches of mini pizzas. Get them half baked and then freeze.. Its great to be able to grab a mini pizza and just slide it into the toaster oven for a fresh home made pizza.
I am also pleased with the weight of the pans, nice even heat distribution.
Update.... August 22, 2012
I've been using this set for over two years now. The pizza pans, after many many uses still look brand new, as does the broiling rack and cooling rack and cookie sheet. The cake pan isn't fairing as well due to a house mate that continues to use metal utensils in it.. she actually used a steak knife to cut cake IN THE PAN!!! it's scratched now but still usable.
I routinely wash them, by hand, using hot soapy water and a soft cloth. After broiling or baking meats I do slide the pans in the sink water to soak for a few minutes and they clean up fine.
One of my favs to do is a half chicken. Halve the chicken and roast for an hour and 10 minutes, then slather with BBQ sauce and put back for another 10 minutes or so... DELISH! My toaster oven is on the short side, can't fit a whole chicken.
Another fav is baking power biscuits. Four biscuits to a pan and while those are baking I whip up the sausage gravy... fast, easy and yummy enough that I get requests for it often. I can get a pan of biscuits baked off in the time it takes the big oven just to preheat!!!
Still loving these pans!

Just got the set today. After washing, I used one of the pizza pans to put a pot pie on and cook in the toaster oven. It has only been in the oven for about 15 minutes and I can see the side facing outward bent upward. Warping at less than 400 degrees is unacceptable. I hope when the pan cools down it will snap back into shape for storing. I haven't tried the other pans, but I do not have high hopes.Added 12/4/09: Only the pizza pans seemed cheaply made. The other pans have held up and so far, I like them.
