I have not cooked with it because I bought the set as a gift.  I opened the package to check if everything was there and in good condition.  I was impressed with the packing as well as with the pans and pots which all arrived in top form. They are beautiful to look at,  with the right weight to handle them-neither too heavy or too light- . I did my "induction test" (a magnet should stick firmly to the bottom) and they are indeed appropriate for it. I know the person I am giving the set will love it. I do hope that they perform well, the name of the company seems solid. The price was greatly discounted. I am happy with it. I gave it a 4 because I did not use them.
