    Please do not buy any of Martha Stewart's Cookware Sets they will not replace the cookware and they will only give you a minimal of what you gave for it. I bought a set of the MS Everyday Cookware, the teflon starts peeling up in your food, so not only do you waste precious food you also have no pots, frypan etc to use because they all do the same thing. You buy it because you think you are getting a good set even though it cost more, WRONG! DON'T BUY ANY OF HER COOKWARE THEY WON'T REPLACE IT.

    My aunt got married shortly after this issue came out and she was determined to make the bouquet on the cover. She spent hours and hours on the eve of her wedding constructing it. It was beautiful and quite heavy!
