I wanted to replace my old pans and found LA almost perfect pot. They are elegant. The graduation and the spout makes them very easy to use. They are strong. They are easy to clean. The only downside is the handle that heats up too easily. Apart from that, I am delighted with my purchase. Edit: After a few months of use, I am unfortunately not as satisfied. The pans are dishwasher-safe, certainly, but they come out full of water. This water seeps into the junction between the pan and the handle, and between the bottom and the pan. Result: water flows when the hot pan and it makes the hot sleeve! Not to mention the traces that it causes on the stove ... In short, not as brilliant as that, these pans ...
