This set has everything to offer in a set. The color is as pictured and is lovely. These are indeed dishwasher safe and cook evenly. There is some weight to them. I have been using these for about a month now, and even with my teenagers using them as well, I do not see any scratches on them, and we all know how teenagers can be while cooking. The handles are long enough and comfortable to hold. I absolutely love this set more than I thought I would and I have cooked many delicious meals in them.
