CAUTION this is NOT Stainless Steel, it is aluminum with a Stainless Steel plate in the base. If you are trying to get away from aluminum like I am don't get fooled like I did. I did not use the set at all, I did not even get it all unpacked before I was on the phone to Wayfair trying to find out what happened to my  T-fal Professional Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set. They did agree to refund my money and e-mailed me a return mailing label. After a little heated discussion they even offered to pay the return postage. Jacob Miller was very professional on the phone even when I wasn't thank you, but I still think  it is bordering on false advertising.
