I like these pots! I bought an inductive cooktop and none of my existing pots would work with it. I found these, and thought that even if they weren't great, the set was less than $100. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived! The finish is mirror-like, they are heavy-bottomed, have sturdy, riveted-on handles, and really dressed up my kitchen. My only complaint is that the lids don't seal very well, and overhang the edge of the pot. When cooking with a lid on, steam blows out of the area where the lid meets the pot, condenses in the cooler air, and water drips down onto my cooktop. My Martha Stewart pot lid has a steam vent in the top to relieve the pressure and keep steam from blowing out the lid/pot joint. These lids do not. Even with this flaw, I still think I did good for the money I spent on the set. I would buy them again.
