I'm definitely a bakeware fanatic and this set is wonderful!  I've always stuck by my tried-and-true metal baking pans and thought I would never stray until I came across this set.  This has completely replaced my metal cake pans. I love the non-stick surface, and the baking comes out so even - no hot spots that I can tell. The only downside to them is that they are very heavy, so be prepared to go in with two hands on these, but they're worth it!  They're so easy to clean - I can use my foaming spray and rinse them right off.  I would choose these over my metal pans every day of the week!
