Fist I would like to say that I love the beautiful and modern look of the cookware set. After washing them first in the dishwasher, I used the cookware to cook dinner. The cookware set had a nice, light weight feel to them. I didnt have to use any butter or oil in my pans. The handles on the cookware stayed cool to the touch so I didnt have to be concerned about burning my hands. The steamer insert was a delight to use to cook my vegetables for my family. I love the clear see through lids. The lids helped me see the food as it cooked and I could make sure my food was cooking like I needed it to be. The sauce pan was so nice for cooking my side dishes. All my food cooked evenly and the clean up was a breeze. The cookware stored easily in my cabinets. I'm so happy with this product. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a nice, modern, and easy to use cookware set. It's made my cooking a breeze.
