Good if you know how to use them

I have one piece of this set. I do like it but I still have a hard time figuring out how not to burn things to the bottom. Blame it on my being raised on non-stick cancer causing pots and pans or maybe my tendency toward the low fat...Anyway, Today, I made a veggie Italian sausage for lunch and it stuck like crazy even as I rolled it from side to side in a tablespoon of oil. I think it is a user error. LOL I love them if I am not trying pan fry something, put it that way. I like that I can stick them in the oven and the handle stays cool when cooking on the stove top. All in all, i would buy again, but I would love tips on the issue I am having with the burning.

Toss out your Teflon

After reading about DuPont being fined by the EPA for hiding cancer-causing risks associated with PFOA, an ingredient in the making of teflon pans, I tossed out my scratched up teflon frying pan. For a while now I've wondered where all that teflon that peeled off my pan wound up (in my body?). Anyway, I think the jury is still out on this stuff, but from what I've read, it sounds like when teflon gets to very high levels of heat, it off-gasses some bad stuff that isn't good for our homes or our health. For anyone who has ever fried an egg in one of these pans, I think you'd agree that teflon pans do indeed heat up to high temps (duh?). So, once you cross off teflon from your list, and aluminum too due to other risk, what's left? I have my trusty iron skillet that I want to be burried with, but for more variety, I found a cookware set by Emeril Lagasse. These stainless steel pots and pans are great! They clean-up nicely, and cook evenly. They are also designed for durability and style.
