Who thinks WMF am still like 20 years ago for quality and is a German brand, unfortunately mistaken. From a price range of 300 euros, you should expect to get German quality goods, otherwise, WMF is unfortunately also the mass production in the Asian region expire. So this set. I approached with great expectations to the stainless steel pots, even though me the price aback made (rightly so!). WMF has put together two production warehouse. One is still in the Swabian region, the other in an inhumane factory in China. Only goods which are produced in the German location, the seal gets "Made in Germany", which is printed on the lower bottom of the pot. I see you now run to your pots and see if that's the case with this cookware set. You will notice: no seal so to say, these pots are made in China and are accordingly of low quality. That makes also unfortunately evident even after the first use. It is striking that the water boils very quickly, which is a good sign actually, since WMF yes rapid heating promises by the "TransTherm®-ground". However, the rapid heating does not happen by the advertised Super ground but by the small steel thickness. Here was spared material, as well on the walls, which are very thin. Let. Times to the great "Cromargan coating", which should be loud WMF much more robust scratch I use to clean off and a scouring pad, actually not even the attacks "worse" stainless steel coating. But in these pots reaches a little rubbing and already the ground is littered with scratches. Cromargan or not: conventional stainless steel in my experience much more robust and also here is again apparent that WMF has spared quality. Speaking Floor: 4 out of 5 pots is this started inside, even when the water boiled with no additives. Ugly spots and stains are a no-go for a premium price of about 100 Euro. Granted are scarce 120 euros for 5 WMF pots not much, but when you see that you get Aldi-pots for 50, which are high-quality Seeming but annoys you a lot and is disappointed that WMF strong decline in quality has. A good hair I have yet to leave the pots: they look really classy and have a piece of jewelry on the shelves. If the jewelry but cooking for two times look like after 20 years of use, the definitely not worth it. Incidentally, I have ordered two times the same set, because I thought the first set, if it were a Monday product. Unfortunately, the second set was as inferior and could not convince. Conclusion: if it is to be WMF, then you have to rely even deeper into their pockets to get German quality. If you want to have high-quality pots, rich also 60 euros to be satisfied with a no-name brand. Mostly these namely stricter controls are subjected because they can survive severe in the market, as the common brand name.
