Approximately one and a half years ago I purchased a set of Remy Oliver cooking pots at a kitchen outlet store located at the Simon Outlet Mall in Merrimack New Hampshire. After regular use the handles on the pots became loose. Two days ago while cooking my wife was almost burnt when the handle came off the pot. My advice to my fellow consumers is research the track record of the item You are about to purchase. I made the mistake of not following my own advice. Stay away from this junk this company is peddling.
