I am so pleased with this cookware! This 10 pc. set covers all my cooking needs. I made a roux in my 9.75 fry pan ( normally I would use my cast iron fry pan) this pan distributed the heat equally and browned my roux with ease. While making rice in the 4 quart stockpot, I steamed some broccoli with the steamer insert. I am not the best at cooking rice, normally it sticks a little. It didn't stick and clean-up took a matter of seconds...loved it!!!! The hammered copper is such a eye catcher setting on my shelf. I have had a few people make comments about how nice they look. I believe this   is not only the prettiest but the most versatile set I've ever had. Cooks very well and easy clean up, I highly recommend it.
