I do have a set that I like very much because of the weight and size of the
pieces. At the same time I have a frying pan that I use for everything and
isn't part of the set but can be easily and inexpensively replaced. I have a
much larger pot that I have used for years for spaghetti sauce, vegetable
soup, chili, that kind of thing and it gets used a lot too. Hmmm, I think I
have two other pots that get used a lot. One small pot that was my Daddo's
and that we use just for simple syrup to make sweet iced tea. And I have a
large wok for stir frys and the like.

Though I like my set, I am hardly restricted to it and I stick with the
stuff I like for my particular dishes.
