Thanks, Merry. Do you cook on an electric coil or smooth top range or with
gas?

I have a smooth top range, and the one thing I find different about these
pots is that the when bringing a pot of water and potato chunks to a boil,
the burner cycles on and off before reaching the boiling point. I didn’t
find that to be true with my previous cookware. The burner stayed on
constantly until boiling point was reached.

I haven’t done much cooking with the pots yet, so can’t say how other pots
and foods will respond.

Thanks!
