Not only this cookware wonderful to cook with and easy to clean, it is life saving.  I left my home to go to work, leaving my dog at home, with chicken cooking on the stove in my Cuisinart.  I did not return home for 8 hours!  The stove was on medium and the pan was dry.  Although yellow smoke was all over my home, my dog was safe and the pan was not destroyed, and neither was my home or dog.  It is amazing cookware.  I wouldn't invest in anything else!
