A good buy - Shanthi - San Jose USA
update 1/29/09
I wish I could change the rating to a 4+. I was sceptical initially at not using non stick but this set has been really good to me for the last 6 months. I have been using it regulary and while a few scratches inside are inevitable, I have seen no dents and all the pots are in good shape. No burning, scorching the base either. In fact, I bought a second set as a gift to friend who also happens to love it! I am glad I got this set!
I am trying to be fair here, for a 12pc set under , it's not a bad deal!The shapes and sizes are varied which is convenient and they all have lids!
The quality is a different story, they're not very thick and have a tendency to dent & scratch easily and the base for all of them is not solid, it's encapsulated (and this is mentioned under product information). It works well under low to medium heat on the stove and I have used it for simmering soups, stews and other "wet" dishes. It works for stir fry and other dry dishes and if you are frequently stirring so you don't burn the base!
If you are used to non stick cookware(as I am)this takes a little longer to clean and a little soaking in warm soapy water helps!They do well in the dishwasher.
It just needs a little getting used to!
