bought a chicken fryer by richard philippe at jc pennys and it sucks..its stainless and their is no comparison in quality from the set I bought by cooks brand at jc pennys..the richard philippe pan wont shine up and I can feel the grooves inside the pan from when they turned the stainless...Ive used barkeepers friend on it and it still doesnt shine..this is lousy stainless..it cooks ok but dont bother...get the cooks brand cookware instead, its fabulous..cleans up beautifully and is tri ply up the sides of the pan..not just the bottom like richard philippe. I didnt even send in my rebate because their are so many complaints about them not sending you back a check.Im glad I didnt pay full price for this richard philippe junk..I have also read complaints that it rusts inside..I guess its only a matter of time with mine.Im glad I just bought one piece and not the set.
