I had been putting off for too long getting new cookware and didn't want to spend a fortune. This cookware is great, it looks nice, cooks evenly and washes up nicely. The only thing I would change is on the lids, when you take the lid off and it is hot, make sure you don't touch the metal part on the handle, I have large hands and the fingers didn't quite fit where the cool material was .For the money great, great product.
