I love to cook. In 1972, my mother paid $60 for a 16 piece set that a dealer used for demonstration. Now that the handles are falling off my Salad Master pots and pans or about to fall off I am looking for replacements. Yes, they have served me well. But they have had all sorts of issues with hot spots so you end up burning things with tomato or potato. I could never cook down preserves without scorching at any temperature. And that screw that holds on the handle urghhh!!! Through out the 40 years I have used them the handles coming loose at dangerous moments has been an issue. I use natural gas to cook with and need a product thats spreads the heat evenly. I will be replacing with heavy try ply bottoms, riveted handles, and all metal lids. I do believe the 2 1/2 qt/ double boiler / steamer combo will be hard to replace. I will especially not miss the rattling lids. If you peek on something cooking that has a delicate nature, you always paid with noise. If you are buying new, I hope they have vastly improved the product for the price is high.
