I love the 14 piece set that we purchased in Jan. 2012, and used for the first time in May 2012. However, the glass lids for the 2 pans are a problem. (The others are fine) After washing them, suds gets caught in the outer rim, and does not drain well. I wonder how sanitary this is, or germ ridden. Is the new set better? I am thinking of returning the entire set, because you can't just return 2 lids. Any ideas?

Previously I had a set of copper bottom Belgique cookware. Excellent cookware on a gas range but a nuisance to polish. All versions of Belgique have a high heat conduction design. The instructions state to use medium heat levels. Food may stick and the pans bottoms will scorch if you over heat them. It's no big deal but excess heat will result in excess cleaning. When I switched to an induction range, I had to replace my pots and purchased another set of Belgique. This version of the Belgique is even better than the copper bottom set. The glass lids permit you see the contents. The silicone inserts help keep the handles cool. The looped lid handles slip over the base long handles to safe space on my hanging pot rack. While these pans are stainless steel they work impeccably on an induction stove. Six quarts of water came to full boil in a minute. The saute was perfect at a medium setting but reduced in minutes on high. Even though I did scorch the pan a bit (not quite used to the new temp settings) it cleaned up with minimal effort.

Purchased this set and am wonderfully pleased. Very easy to cook with, and highly recommend to anyone the purchase of these pots and pans.....

I purchase this as a gift for a friend of my daughter who lives in Sao Miguel Azores as a wedding gift. She started to cry when she open the present and stated that I must have spent a lot. No one can beat the price and quality.

Purchased this set a few weeks ago, and I have been in love ever since. I followed the instructions and cook on low heat, let the pans warm up first, and use Bar Keepers Friend for clean up. I have not had anything stick yet, including over easy eggs.

we purchased this cookware.every pretty.it cooks great. i hand wash the cookware. i am a dishwasher person. nice set.

I have 2 pieces of this cookware, can't say enough good about it. I just purchased the 14 pc set and am so excited that I finally have what I want in all sizes. Great!!!!!!

I bought this set a little over 2 years ago after reading the reviews and I don't regret it! Obviously it's not a non-stick set so it can take a bit of scrubbing to clean if you don't soak it in warm soapy water right away, but it's a small inconvenience compared to the quality and durability. When I bought this set it came with stainless steel lids, not the glass ones, so I can't say I've experienced any problems with the lids leaking. They have a nice weight to them and look beautiful.
