We have used only the pot, the pan was at most as a cover for use. But it is not thought, but still useful. Removal of the "lid" off the pot turned out to be but a bit as fumbling, because the handle supplied is not intended for use upside down. Speaking of grip! When the set was delivered and I had taken the three components of the bag, I initially had a little bend it, so can be the pot and the pan well so grab the handle. No gross errors, could be made very quickly with your fingers and then it went better. The handle is also very careful not gergestellt, one or the other ridge looks out there already. Although not at points, of which risk of injury goes, but an upscale appearance it gives the grip definitely not.
An unpleasant taste to aluminum (complained about my mother sometimes) I could not find myself, am there but maybe just not sensitive enough.
One should be clear when purchasing any course: The cookware is made of aluminum. Uncoated aluminum. That since the food adheres much faster than in Teflon pan on the domestic hearth plate, is just like that.
From me, there are five stars and a clear recommendation to buy for durability, the weight and the included bag of sets!
