I have never owned such beautiful cookware, it was hard to start cooking on them. My husband's friend came over when I was unpacking the pots and pans from the box and commented, "my Jannie, would love these" and when I showed him the price he ordered her a set. TRUE STORY. I love this set, quality made,cleans up well and they go from stove to oven (love that).  I am a grandmother and it took over 50 years of cooking to finally have Top of the line Pots and Pans. I finally got to spoil myself
