This cookware is beautiful and has nice weight to it. The lids fit perfectly. I chose this set because my kitchen will soon have an induction cooktop and based on other reviews (plus my own research), I feel this will be the right set for me. I have owned Anolon cookware for many years, I take care of it, and the cookware has served me well. My current set is not induction compatible, so I am looking forward to trying the Accolade. I love the glass lids (I like to monitor my cooking without lifting the lids) and the thick, smooth bottoms should work well with induction. I will follow up with another review once I have evaluated this gorgeous set.
