I love these pots and pans! The part I don't like, but maybe they need to get scuffed up on the bottoms, is that they slip around on my gas range grills. And I do feel they are somewhat smaller..This actually my second set. My first set lasted 15 years for me and now I have given them to my nephew who has taken them to college with him  There still in great shape!. All in all its a great set..
