After reading some reviews, it seems like something has changed in the quality of this set after 2009/2010. Either they changed factories or something, but the awesome reviews that you read about aren't for these particular pans. 

Firstly, although claiming to be 18/10 on the website, it is not marked 18/10 on the pans, or the box. Sure, it is stainless steel, but the oxidation I am seeing on the bottom of the pans (blue-ish/white-ish stains) would suggests that it is not 18/10. 

These stains are not a deal breaker though, and the pieces are still visually nice. The heat distribution is excellent, the handles are firm and the weight is excellent.

I wouldn't recommend them, but I am not unhappy with them.
