I’ve tried many different cookware types in my 37 years of being a homemaker and these are one of the best sets. They are lightweight but not cheap feeling. I love the non-stick finish and the lids that can fit multiple pots/pans, I have never seen that before in any of my sets! It says to hand wash them but I tested the tiny fry pan and baking sheet in my dishwasher and they came out fine, I still recommend going by manufacturers recommendation to hand wash so they will last. The color is beautiful and just so much better than boring silver or black pots. Great set!
