I cook. A lot.  I've used many pans over the years - from stupid expensive to county fair cheap miracle pans.  Some have done a decent job, but disappoint after a few months, and never ever live up to the non-stick claims.  I recently purchased the PARIS 8" and 10" frypan set.  Can you see that you're 'in love' with a frying pan? Well, I am! Everything slides - it's like cooking on a skating rink, except with heat! Speaking of heat, the heat disbursement is phenomenal - even cooking, and no need to goose up the flame.  I'm almost wishing that my sauté and other pans (other brands) would wear out more so I could justify purchasing an entire set! DO NOT HESITATE TO GET THESE!
