These pots are great so far. They’re very sturdy and well made. I wash them by hand to keep them looking new. The handles do get hot and that degree varies by size of the pot. That was a bit disappointing, especially since the description says that they stay cool. The sale price was really good so I decided to upgrade my old pots that I had for years. I’m happy with them and expect that they’ll last a long time. I recommend them.
