I have ALOT of points, but I also have ALL the Executive cookware (except the stock pot& the double burner griddle) which I really dont want. What I would like is some feed back with the Stainless....Is it really as good as HO says, I guess what I mean is should I get the SS Sets as well or just use my points for Executive & use them for incentives or for gifts? Please help me with your input....TIA
 
personally, I love the stainless. it makes it easy to create gravy/sauce, cleans super easy, is husband- and dishwasher- proof... so i guess i would suggest that you at least get the 12" ss family skillet and try it out. you could use just those points for now, try it, and then decide if you need more (i am waiting on my "more" to arrive this week - i am excited to have the ss 4 qt so my spaghetti sauce pan can go in the dishwasher!)
 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the SS. As a matter of fact, I had ordered the 5 piece first to check it out, and now I am waiting for my 7 piece set to arrive any day!!!I would recommend keeping a can of Bar Keepers Friend under the sink, as it helps with clean up. It's so nice, I would DEFINITELY recommend!
 
Oh, by the way..........I have always used nonstick my whole life and thought I wouldn't like these as much as I do!
 
Can't help ya on advice Ginge but WHOOO HOOO for you! :) Congrats girlfriend! I just redeemed my points for the 10" skillet and 2 smaller pieces for incentive gifts! ;)
 
I have not received my SS skillet yet, but I got that with POR. I am also trying to achieve getting the sets. If for nothing else, to show at my demos. I dont know if I will like it, but I have a set similiar to the exec. already. Interested to see how I like SS.
 
I just got the SS 12" skillet but kinda wish I would have gotten the executive one...But I haven't used it a ton yet. I just love the nonstick. I have the 7 pc executive and LOVE it!! It just doesn't clean up as easily.
 
I love my 12" SS skillet.
