I bought this set because I own several pieces of their Infinite line. Infinite is heavier, has thicker sides, a heavier nonstick coating and they have metal lids, this is everything that the Premier Professional line is not. I am not fond of glass lids, but I figured it might be time to adjust since this set seemed so attractivealmost every piece I desired, I wish that I hadn't caved because they are this set's weakest link. The metal that encircles the lid is not impressive at all, and worst of all there is a gap between it and the glass that captures water and you can never get it all out. I have to wonder if trapped moisture isn't one reason these type of lids shatter. As I said, they are also light, and the material at the sides is thin, if not for the weight of the disk on the bottom these would feel like pans you could buy at the dollar store. But hey, I can see how that might be attractive for people looking for lighter cookware. IMO, I don't think this set will last as long as my Infinite pans which get daily use, furthermore, I'd bet that they're not as dishwasher friendly either. The non stick coating seems thinner than on the Infinite. I could tell how thin it was because a couple of pieces had tiny "flea bites" that were absent of the coating.
What I did like is the color, the handle style and material, the number of pieces and their sizes. I'm so disappointed because I really wanted to like these pots and pans. I really hate this era because quality is disappearing, along with good customer service, which is why I chose to buy Circulon instead of Cuisinart. I didn't buy Circulon's Symmetry line because of reviews by others, who also owned Infinite, where disappoint stating that Symmetry isn't as good. Well Neither is the Premier Professional. One last thingI believe this line was specially made for Costco since everything on the bottom of the box stated "Costco", it looks more like Elite's handles and I believe the rest is all Symmetry. For these reasons, I don't think the Premier Professional set is worth the current price of over $200.

Wonderful set of pans, the thick bottoms ensure even cooking and clean so easily. Just wish the handles didn't get so hot, especially on the pots.
