The BK Q-linair series have won a number of design prizes for a reason. The BK cookware set has a pouring system. You can lock the lid under the handles by turning them one turn. You can easily and safely pour liquids through the notches in the edge of the pan. The BK Q-linair Master pans are made of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel. The handles are placed extra high, so they'll remain cool while baking. This also makes the pans easier to stack.
