I am very pleased with the quality and price of this stainless steel pot set. As always Amazn.com delivered.
I like the pans but I cut my finger on the sharp edge at the base of the handle while washing it. Be very careful the edges near the base of the handle are very sharp and it cut me like a knife.
Although the handles are just metal, they do not seem to get exceptionally hot to the touch when cooking on the stove. The pots and pan are good sized and have nice vented, glass lids to allow you to see what you are cooking and you can slide them into the oven without worry of ruining your cookware. The set also cleans up nicely even though it isn't non-stick. This is a good quality set of pots and pans for someone starting out or for a second set if you are a cook that needs some extra cookware for large parties and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for another set. I was surprised that the price is so low for a set with reinforced bases (so that everything you cook doesn't automatically burn) and they don't look too cheap on your stove. The cookware is also light in weight, unlike my primary set of Anolon cookware--which is really heavy, but still my favorite.
This set of cookware seemed a little bit too "light weight" for my preferences, but so far, have help up wonderfully. Sometimes the all-metal handles conduct heat more than I'd like, but overall, I think these were definitely worth the price.
The pot and pan handles will heat up some, occasionally to the point of being too hot to touch. After using it for a month there are some minor discolorations that are purely cosmetic.The primary problem is the metal construction of the pots and lid handles. I would invest in something with better design if you have the money to spare and are looking to properly outfit a kitchen. It's true that you get what you pay for, but sometimes you get a little extra. The Heuck set is very functional and with good care it looks to be quite durable. The lids almost always heat up that point, and I have to keep a towel handy to move lids around during cooking.For the amount of money I paid, the Heuck set is a bargain and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a set of cheap, durable and moderately good-looking cookware.
