I was sick of companies claiming they had the best non-stick pots and plans.  I must have tried at least 8 brands in the past 15 years.  They worked the first few times, but shortly after my food would stick.  I saw the infomercial and was impressed.  I didn't have my doubts as it was a Ninja brand.  As soon as my Ninja pots were delivered, I cleaned out all of my old pots and pans.  I filled a very large box which I called "the box of shame."  I wouldn't even donate these they were awful.  Off to the dump!  These pans are so well made and the food does not stick.  I've cooked many meals and the pans act like they are brand new.  I'm hoping these are the last I ever buy.   I've bought every pot and pan size they carry.
