I risked this product because of the manufacturer. I was amazed at the quality of the cookware when I bought it. It's heavy, well made and beautiful. Far beyond expectations. I also bought a couple of Cuisinart pans because I never have enough pans and there are always the same items in the set that I don't need. While the Cuisinart was well done, this set is slightly larger. However, I will keep the Cuisinart because I need extra pans. I will use all of these paraphernalia. Pluses - 7 layers of heating at the bottom. There are useful details here that work well together. There is a sieve in the 3 liter pot. The picture shows a lid on a pot and colander, but there's only one lid (which makes sense). It is also a waterless dish. I don't know much about waterless cookware, but I've never seen a set for less than $1,000, so I've never tried it. Just for the dishes I would put 5. The negative side is about 4 parts. There are two coasters and some have a suction cup handle. I have no idea what to do with this as the coasters are too small to be useful. I think the handle should stick to the bottom of the mixing bowl so it can be used as a lid. I don't know why, but it's the only thing I can think of. The strainer basket comes with a separate handle, so the wire handle counts towards the bill. In addition, there is plastic under the handles to make them feel cooler. There is a warning not to increase the flames too much or they will melt. Yes they will because my husband turns gas burners too hard and burns the handles on a similar pot I had. Handles on all lids have built-in temperature sensors. I haven't had any luck with these types of lids so I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 for that reason (and the plastic under the handles). I was under the impression there should have been a recipe book, but an instruction manual really would been nice. I have NEVER used waterless cookware so I don't know how to use it. However, my requirements are met. Overall, for the 15 pieces I'll be using, I'd value this set closer to $1,000. You won't regret buying this cookware!
