This is my third Circulon purchase and I'm extremely pleased with this pot as well as my two previous purchases. The weight of the pot is fantastic, very sturdy. The handles are amazing, very comfortable and heat resistant. Everything is very well done as far as construction and the non-stick is a delight!! Every other non-Circulon pot/pan in my cupboards is slowly being replaced with Circulon. I'm so glad I took the plunge to purchase my first piece. Even though the pots and pans are a bit pricey, it's WELL worth the money spent. My first pot looks and performs just as well as it did when it was brand new. I have no doubt they will last me for years and still make me smile when I used them.
