gift to our daughter Karen.  She loved it!  Uses them all the time.   You just can't top Circulon... we've had ours for 20 years, and they're still wonderful...  it really pays to buy the best the first time around, than the cheaper versions that wear out in NO time.   We've bought our other daughter at least 2 of these, too.... and she loves cooking with them... When you sell quality, people always come back to you.  thank you for these.  Ethel P., the Mom.
