I have some of their SS cookware and LOVE it! I think ours will be better though because it has the satin finish. I can't wait to get my hands on it and cook with it so I can compare the two. I don't like their saute pan though. I'll check my book for their price.

Thanks Ellen. You're getting the prices out of their most recent catalog, right? So, do their hosts have the option of getting the set at half-off? Sorry for all the questions!

 

[Christ Follower]

These prices are from the Spring/Summer cataolg.

Yes, just for having a show you get a half price item and then another half-price item for every booking. That's how I have the pieces that I have. I'm so glad I didn't buy the whole set! Now I'll get my PC ones!

Also, ours has the aluminium up the sides also instead of just the base..so it is a better heat conductor.
