This cookware set is basically in top order. The properties described are met 100%. In fact, the handles do not get hot, the pots are just on the hot plate and the lid stuck. When preparing the pots develop a very good degree of heat quickly. Unfortunately, the biggest pot of a handle was not fixed, but what we noticed only after the deadline for complaints. Amazon responded as usual quickly and satisfactorily. We have the whole set still can send it back and get a replacement or a credit note for the damaged pot.
