Good Quality and sturdy and washes very easily by hand. I do not recommend putting these type of pans inside the dishwater otherwise you will lose the quality of the color on the outside of the skillet. Highly recommend handwashing only and using plastic spoon or spatula to keep from tearing the nonstick coating. This set comes with a round quarter core, in which I would not throw away and keep it by placing them in between the two pots so that you don't rest one pot on top of the other causing tearing the nonstick coating down.
