After a few weeks of daily use, I noted that they do not come out fully clean following the listed instructions. They had a white coating and stained dark from sautéing food even after using the listed cleaning method. The set, even though it looked simple, functional, and stylish, did not remain that way since the handles started looking tarnished within the second use (by the screws). I would have found them more useful if the lids could be used in all the sets pieces, but the ones that had no indentation on the edge are meant not to be used with lids and would slide off if you tried.
