My husband surprised me with this cookware.  Having used another product for years I was concerned that I'd have trouble adapting to this.  I was wrong.  The main thing I must remember is to keep the heat lower!  Everything I've cooked in Copper Core has been perfect, and the pans all clean beautifully, which was another concern I'd had.  All in all, the cookware delivers everything it says it will. I have thanked my husband many times for this wonderful gift!
