This is the third set of non-stick cookware I've blown through in 9 years (heavy cooker).  While my go-to cookware is from that other popular manufacturer(begins with an "A" and has a dash in the name), I wanted another non-stick set for quick dishes and for hubby to use; I bought three Cuisinart Chef's Classic pots/pans. I couldn't be happier - they are lightweight and the quality is quite good!  They heat up quite quickly and heat evenly.  This is a great size and can hold quite abit.  A good add to any collection.
