My cabinet was full of odds and ends of the expensive ceramic coated iron wear and others none of them were compatible with a induction cooktop (we have several) in addition to our glass top.  So here was a set that matched, is easy to clean and way practical.  I especially love the pots with the pour lip, the lids that have strainer built in, glass lids to see what's going on, waterless cookware, and one of my favorite features is that there is markings inside the pans with volume, 4, 6, 18 cups for example now when my recipe says reduce by 1/2 I can see it instead of guessing.  Need 6 cups in pan it's measured right in the pan.  I would recommend this set to anyone.
