I am so happy I got this set of 8, teal shimmer, cookware set.  I immediately washed them and set them out to use at dinner time.  I was amazed at how well and sturdy the pans were.  I made spaghetti for dinner and used the large pan with lid for the spaghetti and used the smaller pan with lid to make the sauce.  I used the strainer to drain the water from the noodles and added the sauce.  The spaghetti was so good!  It was like it came from a restaurant. I plan on using the pans from now on and throwing out all my old pans.  I would recommend the pans to everyone that cooks!  Happy cooking!
