Wow, realized during the holidays how bad I needed these! Super nice set of cookware and how can you go wrong with the nonstick easy clean surface. Well, you can't~ Dishwasher safe quality with a lifetime guarantee from Cuisinart is quite a bonus. Nice balance of weight, not flimsy but not too heavy either. I ordered the black and its appearance is even nicer in person than in the pictures. Was excited to receive this gift for myself, and I was not disappointed. Speedy shipping too!
