I received this set yesterday and it looks good and feels heavy enough. After using 3 pots today I'm starting with a 5-star, subject to revision if I run into problems. Overall the quality seems very good for the price I've spent days comparing brands and reading tons of reviews before settling on an Innova product. I just can't afford All Clad or West Bend. Luckily my glass lids with vents from my old QVC 'Cooks Essentials' nonstick set fit all the pieces, so I'll use them instead of the stainless lids. I'm getting rid of all nonstick cookware in my kitchen for health reasons. First test was a big pot of chicken noodle soup. You are supposed to avoid high heat, but you can't boil noodles on medium haha So once they came to a boil I turned it to medium, and added the chicken and cream soup. Took a little longer on medium but turned out fine. Plain washing left a dark discolored haze in the inside, with visible marks from the plastic utensil used to stir it. But a good scrubbing with Orange-Glo cleaner took away the haze and the marks (I'm going to look for something called barkeepers friend). The bottom of the pot stained with strange black marks matching each natural gas jet from the burner, that won't clean off. That won't bother me as long as it doesn't affect the heat distribution. Next I boiled eggs, the large saucepan didn't stain but the bottom had black marks like the big pot, only lighter. I've seen some complaints on stainless getting stains from boiling eggs, but it didn't happen on this one. Next I fried a pan of chicken patties in the big skillet using canola oil on medium heat. They came out absolutely perfect, best results ever from any pan I've ever owned. Nothing stuck, cleaned up sparkling new, and the bottom didn't get any black marks from the same burner. So it must be a difference in the metal?? The handle was a little loose on the large saucepan so I tightened it, might loosen again. Anyway the only issue to mention is how the metal darkened on the bottom of 2 pans out of the set but not the 3rd. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again based on my budget.El material de estas piesas no es lo que esperaba. No cocinan bien los alimentos. No me gusto para nada.
