I first tried this line by purchasing the one quart covered pan and fell in love with the product.
I’ve since purchased the 3.5qt, the 6qt, the 8qt and most recently this starter set.
These pans don’t warp, don’t develop hot spots to scorch food, have inside measures, have sturdy lids that fit well, are coded to help match the lids and clean up as easily as non-stick pots.
I’ve donated my lighter weight SS pots and know that these pans will outlast my time cooking.
Highly recommend these to anyone who enjoys cooking and wants the best for their buck.

I bought this as a starter set a month ago and built up my collection with other pots from the line. I was searching for something along the line of All-clad, so that the 3 metal layers created the entire pot, not just a circle on the bottom. The All-Clad were a bit out of my price range and too heavy for me to lift when I tested in the store, and that was empty. This set isn’t quite as heavy but retains the good quality I was looking for. I really like the handles as well, very comfortable and stay cool as long as heat from a neighboring burner doesn’t reach it. They cook evenly, with low heat as suggested and anything that sticks on, comes off easily after soaking in hot sudsy water. I would definitely recommend this line off pots if you are looking to invest in a lasting set, but not break the bank as much as All-clad.

This is an awesome value for the price. Heats evenly and quickly, looks wonderful, cleans up easily, and all the other great things you’d expect from good quality clad cookware.
The only problems that I have with it are:
If you simmer something with the lid on, or boil something for a somewhat long time with the lid on, the handle on the lid will get really hot. If you simmer something for a long time the pan handles also have a chance of getting hot considering you’ve given the heat so much time to spread itself throughout all parts of the pan.
The handles are very comfortable… but very hard to keep from twisting in your hand if you’re tilting either pan to pour stuff. Because the handles are so smooth and roundish and the pans so heavy compared to el-cheapo pans, it’s very hard to keep the pans from twisting back to a level position when you tilt it for pouring, especially if your hands are a bit wet, although this is still very possible with dry hands, or even with a towel acting as a pot holder. This is more pronounced in the fry pan, but also happens in the saucepan. It is a pain to try and keep it tilted with one hand while you scrape food out with the other.
Other brands like Calphalon Tri-ply and All Clad have flat, thin, grooved handles. While these handles are not nearly as comfortable when the pan is flat, they provide the needed grip to keep the pan from twisting in the hand when tilted.
