I love Kitchenaid, I buy everything except their appliances. I also have a red set of stainless cookware and bought this nonstick set because their are complimentary and can share lids. The color is great and I have not had any problems with Kitchenaid cookware in the past. The handles stay cool and the set seems very sturdy. I doubt I will have any problems as I only use plastic utensils and hand wash only. The nonstick is very nice and seems to be much higher quality than my previous TFal set.
