I can't recommend these pans enough, and use them every day that I cook. I feel like I'm cooking healthier by using less or no oil, and the cleaning process is magically easy. I tend to hand wash my Green Pans, only because I need them ready for the next meal, but I love the convenience of them being dishwasher safe! I also love the versatility of being able to use it stove top and then move it to an oven without having to transfer the food to a different pan. It's the perfect gift for the occasional or experienced cook in your life. I'm a believer!
