I like to fry steaks on my stovetop.  The non stick non scratch surface is really great when frying steaks.  The cook ware is very well make and is also dishwasher safe.  The glass lds also make it easy to watch my food when cooking so they don't get overdone.  The non stick groves and the heavy aluminum hold the heat for proper searing of meats.  I like the stay cool handles and its metal untensil safe.  This will last me a lifetime of great cooking.
