The price and the affordability of the set, I also researched for hours trying to find exactly what I wanted and needed in the pans, Most sets I looked at did not have what I needed or enough.
A bit of a curve in learning to cook with this cookware. Tip:read thru the usage brochure FIRST. Recommendation is to not cook at a higher temperature than medium due to the construction of the base and the equalization of heat, I’ll get it sooner or later. Beautiful pieces, just wish that both the handle on the pans and lids were made of product that didn’t get so hot to the touch and they are quite heavy, both hands required for lifting larger fry pans when containing foods.
