About 6 years ago I decided to get rid of my hodgepodge cookware and get a new set. After much research and 45 years of cooking experience I decided on the Circulon Symmetry set.  I LOVE this line of cookware. I don't know which is my favorite feature... the see through lids, the nonstick feature, the fact that I can use metal utensils without scratching, the appearance or the great price... I love it all.  In fact, over the course of the last few years I have purchased 2 additional sets for retirement homes.  And as a footnote.... this cookware replaces a recently purchased All Clad set which was 4 times more expensive and I hated it!  I have had this cookware now for 3 or 4 years and love, love, love it and have recommended it to all my friends.
