| I got gifted 3 skillets and 2 cookie sheets from Freecycle. I thought worse case, if they were crap, I'd sell them for scrap. Well I am a happy camper.
The non-stick is a Lagostina, and the weight of the 2 stainless ones shocked me. Look at the bottom of them!
I don't have any of the rimless cookie sheets, so these will be new for me. I can picture the cookies and biscuits sliding off and onto the bottom of the oven though.

| Very nice! Freecycle is a great way for people with too much stuff as well as people with too little. I was on it for a while but the volume of emails was overwhelming. Have fun! Cheryl |

| Good haul! I am an avid Freecycler as I am trying to get rid of TMS. I am freecycling stuff this week and the postings have diminished to a trickle; nothing like in the past. Not to be a snob, but often the recipients of my items don't have an appreciation for or knowledge of the quality of some things like your nice pans. |

| Good find. I have never had any luck with FS but have had with Craigslist. Both giving and receiving. Clare |

| Craigslist doesn't go over here, like it does in the U.S. I've had very good luck with Freecycle; both giving and receiving. Hubby just asked me, why she was getting rid of her pans. I just wonder whether she couldn't be bothered cleaning them, or she just had no idea of the good pans that she had. Here they are cleaned up. I had no idea the Kirkland one had copper in it.

| They're beautiful! Sally |

| I have the Kirkland set. See the link below for details. I bought the set to use with our new induction cooktop. They are solid performers - a good weight, decent thermal conduction and they clean up nicely as you've already discovered. Cheryl |

| Wow, what did you clean them with? |
|
| Everyone raves about Barkeepers Friend. I have never seen it in our area before, thinking it was a US thing. Lo and behold, Home Hardware had the powder on sale a while back. Rushed out to get it, and that's what I used. |

| Good deal, Jasdip! I like those kind of cookie sheets too. They are the insulated ones, aren't they? One of my pet peeves is people who let stuff build up on their cookware. A lot of my cookware I bought used, so I had to clean it up too. |
|
| Nice haul. I bet the owner had no idea how good they are. I wonder if they were cleaning out a house and just wanting to "get rid" of stuff. I just gave away an exercise bike for free via Craigslist. No one will pay for those things. I was happy to see it go and the new owners were happy to have it. |

| Holy sparkles! |
|
| I don't understand how so much gunk gets on the bottom of pans. I guess it's gas burners? The Lagostina I've got in the scrap-metal pile. Even though the interior isn't chipped, it's completely lost the non-stick, and everything I've tried, sticks like crazy. It's not worth the aggravation to keep it, when I've got good pans. Here's an enamelled skillet I picked up a few months ago.
