As a Fissler cookware user for over 45 years I needed a new set since I switched to an induction range. The very old set, although 18/10 stainless steel, was not suitable for that. Of course, I looked at various other brands, the combinations of pots and pans were not what I wanted, and the ratings, although good, not good enough. Fissler came through with what I needed, and I am very happy with my new cookware. The pots heat up super quick, clean easy. What more could I want?. I am happy!
