When In remarried 10 years ago, we put Copper Core cookware on our bridal list. We have NEVER been sorry. It cooks like a dream and responds consistently. It cleans up easily. Even burnt on residues wash off with Barkeepers Friend. I got the 3 quart this time as my 2 quart wasn't large enough and the 4 quart was too large. I now have over a dozen CC pots and pans and am glad we spent the money. Highly Recommended !!!!!!
