I've very impressed with the performance of this cookware! There are no 'hot spots' in the pans cooking on a gas range. There's no need to have the heat on high either. It washes up easily. I especially like that there are so many lids so there's no having to improvise on lids when using 2 of the same size pots and pans. The strainer insert for the stock pot is awesome! It has gotten me spoiled and I can't imagine being without it. Actually, this whole set has me spoiled! This set was a gift to my boyfriend and I'm wishing I would have gotten it for myself! Hahaha!
