This was my first purchased of Emeril Hard Anodized Cookware. I love this pan! Nothing sticks, easy clean up and cooks evenly! It has no harmful chemicals, so I know I am not transferring harmful stuff into my foods for my family. Try it! You can't go wrong here! I have spent hundreds of dollars looking for quality cookware and now I have finally found it! I am now waiting on my Emeril Hard Anodized 14pc. Cookware Set to arrive! Thanks Emeril!!!
