Maybe I have a cheap end of the line with IKEA, but I feel the handles get too hot. I have used many versions of tri-ply and like the results on them all. Look for either thick bottoms or the cladding going all around.

I cook many styles, and find a 10 inch, 12 inch skillet plus two sauce pans fills 90 percent of my needs.

Get the set if it’s a good value for the parts you’ll use, and sell the extras.
