I have made everything from omelettes to soup, chicken cutlets and mushroom wine sauce in the Valencia pans and they are great! Less butter or oil is needed as the non-stick is fabulous. I thought I would have an issue with keeping it on medium heat to saute but the heat distribution makes up for it. You need to have a little patience if you are used to cooking hot and fast to get the full effect of these pans. They clean up so effortlessly both by hand or putting in the dishwasher. The small saucepan did arrive with a chip on the rim but customer service was quick to respond to my email and send a replacement. I would definitely recommend these pans!
