I got these as a set from Macy's for $50 on sale. I prefer stainless steel and am normally not a huge fan of aliminum cookware (especially nonstick), but I was very surprised with the Nouvelle Copper. It's hard-anodized aluminum on the outside, but has 3 layers (plys) just like high-end stainless cookware...it has a layer of aluminum (which is the outside of the pan), an insert of copper, and a ply of stainless steel on the bottom (which contacts the burner).Food cooks very well even on an electric range. There are few, if any, hotspots, they heat uniformly, and hold in the heat well like stainless (stoneware and cast-iron). The construction will help prevent warping (common to aluminum cookware. All of the aliminum I've ever owned has warped and I take good care of my pots/pans). These can also be used on an induction range, something you can't do with other aliminum cookware.
The nonstick coating is really good. Food slides off easily and clean-up is simple, even with eggs that are baked-on. As far as durability is concerned, I would have no problem saying the coating would last for years if taken care of (hand wash only, no steel utensils).
I can't find anything wrong with them other than the fact I got 2 of these for only $50, which is ridiculous because they should cost a lot more, maybe $120.
Purchased these on Amazon and got quick delivery. They are truly worth the price. Perform very well, with easy clean up. I use very little oil to fry and these pans cook evenly and perfectly each and every time. You could spend three and four times the price on other makes, but these are just wonderful.
