I purchased this pan set because I needed a set which could go in the dishwasher,  I am extremely pleased with the quality,  they are strong and sturdy without being heavy.  Advertised as an everyday set,  but good enough to be best pan set. Very happy with the frying pans excellent non stuck surface no oil needed. I also like the shiny surface looks very smart. If i have any complaints it is the chunky lids but like these for the draining feature so highly recommended.
