I was so worried about the dangers of our old non-stick type pans, especially with a new grand child and an ill family member. Bought 2 sets, " one for you- one for me" for my son and daughter-in- law, and us. They never got new pans for a wedding gift, they absolutely love theirs! I love cooking, the heat distribution, the clean-up! Such quality! We are passionate for the made in USA!!
