I ordered this set when it was the gold box deal for $120.As of today, the price is still the same as it was then, so I consider this a great deal.I have been looking for a nice set of stainless steel pots because my old set of only nonstick had become very scratched up, which some people believe to be dangerous.I like that there's only one nonstick pan in this set.This way you have the nonstick only for when you need it, and you can baby it and treat it nicely by hand-washing and not using metal utensils.
The other selling point for me with this set was the unique handles.For anyone who has shakily tried to carry a heavy pot to the sink, this is the set for you.I actually spilled boiling water on myself trying to carry just such a pot and suffered a very painful burn as a result.The idea is that the handle will transfer the weight from your wrist to your forearm, which is generally much stronger.Still, I was a little worried that the 'weird looking' handle might seem awkward.My fears were assuaged when they arrived.They in fact feel very natural.Actually, I think it would be hard for me to ever go back to a traditional handle now.
Another nice feature is the straining holes located on the lid so you can drain off liquid.You could also use this as a steam vent during cooking if you'd like.Also, the lid for the medium sized pot fits the nonstick pan, which is another plus in my book.
The other reviewer is correct that the handles don't have slots for an over head pan rack, however *I* store my pots and pans in a cabinet, so it's fine for me.
I highly recommend this set, they are very well made, and a great buy in my opinion.
