Yes, the pots are not as hard as other higher quality pots from other manufacturers.
Yes, the handles are hot because they are out of the cast aluminum. However, for the potholders ears are included which you pull on the handle (not more than the fingers !!!) and then you can also touch the pot.
Yes, in the instructions is that they can in the dishwasher, but not what I'm speaking from experience. These are coated pots, these are any more in the dishwasher as a teflon pan.
No, the lid does not close completely tight, but this is not bad, because so nothing about cooking.
Yes, for these pots needed to wooden or plastic spoon. Please do not allow metal objects into the pot, which scrapes off the coating.
Yes, they can (except for the small pot handle) all in the oven.
Those who observe all this, can long have lots of fun with these pots.
