This set has thought of everything you need for the kitchen! It comes with 11 pieces of cookware. The cookware is aluminum; the pieces have enough heft to them so that they feel sturdy and durable, but not so much heft that they feel too heavy to hold or pour from. The handles also feel strong. They have nice rubber, heat-resistant grips on the ends so you can get a good grasp on the handle without burning yourself.  My favorite thing is there are only two lids for the entire set. The lids are designed in such a way that they fit multiple pans/pots, making them an awesome option for someone with limited kitchen space.
