I’ve were getting soo tired of frying pans sticking, pots, all scratched, and ordered this set of Circulon! I had thoroughly checked the competitors on the Internet, and thought I made the best choice for price and, looks, and the (promised) non-stick capability. WOW-my husband and I are very pleased and he’s even cooks his own eggs once in a while. I love the tops of lids and hands don’t get hot! PS MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THAT HAD TO SEPARATELY ORDER A LID FOR THE 12-in. Fryer. I still want to get the large fryer with the helper handle and lid
