The pots look nice, but that's it. First, one of the lids did not fit properly, and I had Amazon send a replacement (their customer service was great!). Then, I had the same experience as other reviewers with eggs sticking badly--this should not happen with good pots. Then, I found that they were very difficult to keep looking clean; the inside bottoms easily discolored and required use of a powdered scrub to clean--and it didn't always work. Finally--and this prompted be to call Amazon to get return labels send out right away--the bottom on the stock pot started to come away (about a half-inch gap) after the first use!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR POTS. POTS SHOULD NOT BE THIS FINICKY! But I will admit, they are nice to look at on the outside, and they boil water quickly. But in the grand scheme of cooking, these aren't tops on my list.
