My birthday came a little early this year!
After two and a half years of marriage, the cheap pots and pans we initially got (about $80 at Walmart) were driving me crazy. They weren't flat and wouldn't heat evenly. I always had a spot in the center that would be scorching while the edges were merely warm. Also, some of the Teflon coating was wearing off, getting in some of our food, etc. One pan was a large skillet that Lars had for years; he had inherited from his sister who had it for who-knows-how-long and SHE WAS GETTING RID OF IT! It had definitely seen better days.
So, after some shopping and waiting for a 30% off coupon as well as the "Early Bird Savings" at Kohl's, Lars bought these for my birthday.
I totally LOVE these. They heat evenly, they don't rock on the stove top, no peeling Teflon - they are beautiful. They are even about a million times easier to clean too. I used to have to let the pans soak until the food was mushy enough to clean off (gross, I know). Not these. I could just run them under water and all the food comes right off. Of course, I still use soap to clean them but it is such a breeze!! I KNOW I spend less time doing the dishes now.
