(More customer reviews)I purchased the 9 piece Intensa set a year ago, looking for cookware that was compatible with my portable induction cooktop.I was impressed with the quality of the cookware, with its thick evenly heating base (I have gas as well as induction), its cleverly designed lids that attach to the rim of the pot, the unique way the pot is completely sealed if the lid is placed at a certain orientation, and the pot is vented if the lid is rotate 90 degrees from the completely sealed orientation.I will often cook my sauces with the lid in the vented position, then when the food is cooled down I will place the lid in the completely sealed orientation and place it in the refrigerator (I know, you shouldn't store food in your pots, but it is just too convenient!).It has another feature that while it sounds useful, it has its drawback.Fissler advertises that the Intensa set has a unique temperature indicator built into its lids "Thermostar" indicator which changes color when a certain temperature is reached inside the pot, and expands the color even more when a higher temperature is reached.I really don't find it precise enough to be that useful.Also it is probably the indicator which causes the manufacturer to caution that the lid should never be placed in a dishwasher.Since I never wash my pots and lids in the dishwasher anyway, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of this quality cookware.
As a comparison, Fissler recently released its beautiful Solea line of cookware.It was so aesthetically appealing on the Fissler website that I purchased a single stewpot in a size that I did not have in the Intensa 9 piece set.Like the Intensa, the pot itself is quality.The handles have changed however, from a black heat resistant plastic to a stainless steel stay-cool handle.The glass lid, while thick, requires you to handle it with care.Also, you are compelled to dry the lid quickly to avoid water marks on the glass.Also, while the lid is also cleverly designed to attach to the rim of the pot, it no longer gives you the vented vs nonvented lid orientation option. . . it always appears to be unvented when on the pot.The only way to vent the pot while cooking appears to be to attach the lid to the rim completely open, or to lay it slightly askew on the pot.So while I greatly enjoy the aesthetics of this pot, I am glad my main set is the more practical Intensa line.
