i purchased a set of philippe richard cookware at J.C. Penney on 2/17/2009. the only reason i purchased it was because it was on sale and a 40 dollar rebate was offered. i received a rebate. for 20 dollars! come on lets get real. the pots and pans arents worth 20 cents let alone what i payed for them. everything i have tried to cook in them has stuck.i will tell everyone i know not to purchase this type of cookware. shirley carroll 1434 burnett st. mineral ridge oh 44440
