Wow, this set just looks so dang good, I almost didn't want to start using them. I really appreciate that beside the smallest pan, each comes with its own lid, there are times I'm cooking a big meal and I need each pan to have a lid, it's great that there is no need to share lids with this set. They are dishwasher safe, oven safe (up to 500) and they are metal utensil safe. We'll see how long that last one stays true, but so far so good. I have already had 2 family members try to steal these away from me... "you don't really need more pots and pans do you?" Yes, yes I do.
