OK set – Most aspects of this cookware set are great, the main criticisms I have are in regards to seasoning the stainless pots and the handles of one of the frypans coming loose.

Capacity and Item Selection The shallow pan is probably my favourite piece in this set - the width and depth make it super versatile, and personally I love the double side-handles. The two other frypans in this set are too similar in size for my liking (26cm and 28cm), and I find I just use the larger one all the time and leave the smaller one tucked away in our storage cupboard. On the other hand however, I sort of wish the pots in this set were a little closer in size. The small one is very restrictive - you can really only make a sauce, boil a couple of eggs or make 1-2 serves of pasta in it before it reaches capacity. Two big serves of pasta would be really pushing it for this small pot, but would take up so little room in the large pot that it seems like a waste of electricity to heat the whole thing up.

Build Quality Love the heft these pans have, and the heat conduction/distribution is great. My only complaint is that within only a couple of uses the handle on the 28cm fry pan had come slightly loose and now jiggles a bit. This a not a deal breaker but I did expect better. The non-stick is great and I have had no issues cleaning them (I have only hand-washed them, I haven't put any of them in the dishwasher yet). I have a few other stainless steel pans in the past that I have seasoned, and to be honest the two pots in this set didn't seem to take to the seasoning as well as I expected. However, I would be willing to put this down to user error, even though this wasn't my first time doing it. The pots did seem to stain a bit, and I still found them too sticky.

After this first month of use I'd say it seems pretty likely that I'll be still happily using this set in years to come, despite the few specific criticisms I've outlined here. The set certainly looks swish, and I'm hoping the loose handle I have is just a one-off manufacturing issue, not something systemic.

UPDATE: Feb 2019 After about 10 months of use the non-stick coating has started to come off. This is on the same pan that had the wobbly handle, and the coating is peeling near the handle rivets, so I assume it's a result of the handle movement putting strain on that area.
