I had a bunch of hand-me-down pots before purchasing this item and these pots and pans make cooking less of a chore for me. Nothing sticks to these pans and I don't burn things anymore! I was relieved it was my old worn out pots and not my lack of cooking skill charring things.

I wouldn't agree that the pot handles stay cool all the time. There have been a few instances that I've had to grab a pot holder to remove the pan from heat. Perhaps I'm just a sissy.

Washing by hand is sort of a downer but since nothing sticks to em, it's really not that huge a deal to clean em up.

We're very pleased with this purchase and would recommend to others. I'm actually on Amazon now looking for matching pieces to add to my set. :)

This set is great. I can't believe how easily they clean. They are nice and flat and work well with flat stoves, electric burners, or gas. I do suggest reading the instructions. They state how to clean, what temp they are good for, etc... Follow these instructions and the set should last for a very long time.

I purchased these pans to replace my older models. I like the handles and weight of the pans. I do prefer the clear lids which these don't have. But for the price, it's a fantastic deal for a Kitchen Aid product.
