After a few months in the use I can say that these are the best pots that we have ever had! The handles are only slightly warm, through the glass lid you can see what happens in the pot and the silicone ring creates completely new possibilities for ventilation. I also like how the cover now gently closes and no longer with a metal on metal noise. The same is the case when you next puts the lid times, eg on the sink, it is almost silent. The silicone ring after the dishwasher is not completely dry, I do not care, clean main thing.
