Love the cookware. My only disappointment is the seam in the lids. When put in the dishwasher the seams looked rusty. The only ones that were not discolored were the lids with the seams that were down.
I love this set. It is my first high quality set I have had. I feel like I have went through cookware like crazy and the others end up being thrown away after wearing out easily. This time I wanted a forever purchase!
If you want it to remain nice you really have to make effort to take care of it. I think powdered stainless steel cleansers like bar keepers friend or comet are absolutely necessary for this set. Since it it stainless steel a few things stick a little like eggs although it doesn’t stick too bad. You put a little water in it and let it soak for a few minutes. The bar keepers friend or comet and a soft sponge will get it right off and it looks like new again.
I also bought this set because we do not want to eat from cookware with dangerous coatings contaminating our food. This set is exactly what I wanted!
My favorite piece of the set is the stock pot with the colander insert! Cooking pasta is now a breeze! I really do enjoy all of it though and consider this a successful “lifetime” purchase!!!
I bought this set to replace ours that burned in the Camp fire in our home. One feature I was looking for was glass lids which this set has. I really like the design and the quality and variety of size pans.
My mom bought me a Cuisinart tea kettle 4 years ago which I love. Purchased a 1 quart saucepan this summer and alwauys enjoy cooking in it. The handle never gets hot and it cleans so easily. So, I purchased this set for my condo here in Florida to replace my other pots. They just look so classy in the kitchen cabinet and inspire me to cook.
