All-Crap is for those with more dollars than brain cells.

Only the kitchen imbeciles buy expensive cookware in a set. No one
needs rolls royce pots to cook pasta and simmer stews/soups and to
heat up canned goods. And expensive cookware will in no way make
anyone a better cook. It's best to buy individual pieces each fit to
do a particular job. Buy your better quality pots from a restaurant
supply store... only the compulsive-obsessives need their kitchenware
to match their panties.
