When the copper stuff came out I decided to try a small skillet to see if the claims were honest. I loved it. My sister was moving back near me and she cooks alot and needed a new set. During the holidays, one of our local stores were selling a complete set of copper cookware for around $50. My sister decided to try it though she had misgivings about it but for the price she thought she'd try it. Plus it was lightweight too so again she had her misgivings about it. She now wishes she would have bought 2 sets as she loves it. When I moved up here to Iowa I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought myself an expensive set of cookware, heavier too and I still love it but if ever it goes bad on me or I screw it up somehow I'll head for the copper cookware for sure.

Also, on the copper cookware, I liked it so much I bought their electric skillet as you can use the skillet part on the stove and in the oven too. Bought their cookie sheets, their egg cooker for hard boiled eggs, their pizza pan with rack and their crisper that also comes with a cookie. All are easy to clean but I don't put any of my cookware into my dishwasher though including the copper stuff. As you can see I love this copper stuff and I've picked up a variety of brands so you don't have to buy the most expensive copper pans. I picked all mine up at Walmart, some I had to order online.

We bought the Circulon set from Costco a couple of years ago and replaced most of our pans with it, so it has been in heavy use. Love it!

I often cook on very high heat and the non-stick surface has not suffered. Seems silly but I love the pour spouts on the pans and the clear lids too.
My other pans are vintage Club Aluminum (best pan to cook rice in!), and I have a few La Creuset. But it is those Circulon in regular use.

I want to buy my daughter a new set of cookware, I purchased her first set 4 years ago. It was same brand as mine claimed to be the same ,but it wasn't. Mine is heavy, Hers is light-weight cheap feeling.Everything sticks. She is a wonderful cook and this is something I would like to get for her.I do know good cookware isn't cheap. But there has to be good stuff out there under $400. or $500. dollars. What do you have and why do you like it? Thanks in advance.
Buy the girl the best you can afford.
