In my 50 years of cooking for my husband, this is the best cookware that I have ever owned!  The sizes of the skillets & pots are perfect for everyday use & for special meals. I especially love the deep Dutch oven for homemade soup.  The large skillet is perfect for frying & cooking sauces.  Even though I usually use plastic utensils, it’s nice not to have to worry about scratching the surface if I grab a metal spoon or fork to stir.
