These pots and pans came at a great time for me and I was so excited for them! Great quality but they're so heavy sometimes. I have to call my husband in to help me dump pasta water or carry them. Not good for anyone with arthritis. Don't recommend frying with them. Oil gets too hot and has left stains on the pots. My fault I'm sure but now I've got a designated frying oil pan. They're pretty though either way and love them for all my dinners.
