These four WMF pots I ordered, because they gave me visually simply liked. In addition, the sizes have passed and the promised features sounded promising. Especially the cold lasting grips with the Cool + Technology and the steam holes in the covers I found good. So ordered quickly. I have not received the kit within 2 days. Delivered everything in a large cardboard box with carrying handle and well padded. The pots have a bulbous shape and the lid are made of glass. The handles are red, rubber surrounds that should hold the handles cool. The first few weeks I have the products now been tested. The extra-thick bottom of pots heat up very quickly. if I (old and new) place two different pots at the same time on the stove, the water about a minute or two cooks faster in my new pots. The handles are only slightly warm and can be touched without potholders. The air vents fold super and it's never been about cooked. The cleaning works without problems in the dishwasher. The cover I rinse mostly by hand, but this I had a couple of times in the machine, so far without any complaints. I highly recommend the whole set.
