These are hands down the best set of pots and pans I have ever used. They heat up evenly and nicely, and I didn't realze what a huge difference a quality pot could do to my cooking before I had All-Clad. They are very sturdy and seem like they will last the test of time. So far, no chips or scratches on the interior of the cooking surface. I also love that I can throw these into the dishwasher. I hope to use these for a very long time.
