Just by unboxing you can tell these are well made pans. I love the solid handle plus it offers even weight distribution for an empty pan. I've cooked several made-from-scratch sauces in the 10" and all have turned out really well. It seems to have a really even heat distribution and is definitely non-stick. Which makes it super easy to clean!! It came with tips/instructions on use and care, which were very helpful and easy to read.
