I recently tried these pots and pans. I was VERY sceptical to say the least. I have always been a T-FAL girl. I would pay a pretty high price for my cooking set because I want them to last. Well I ran across Ninja and they were very reasonably price in comparison to what I usually spend. I am so glad I did!! The set is very durable, the handles are nice and thick,and to top it off the are dishwasher safe. They are a little heavy but  To me that means durability.
