My saucepans was old so when I received the Faberware I was please and honored to be chosen so thanks - I haven't stop using from the first day I made French Toast for breakfast and I usually don't do that . Plus the clean up was a wipe down and that's it . No dishwashing so can't perform that safety feature but , I'm sure it is . Definitely will recommend to all and sure am going to look into purchasing so more Faberware appliances. Thank you much surely appreciate.
