It is a lighter weight than usual which is a plus for me since it is much easier to lift. Although it is light weight it is not too flimsy. The nonstick surface is great, it really is nonstick and works well. It wipes out with a paper towel or damp soapy cloth for an effortless clean up after use. They take a little longer to heat up but once heated cook foods very well. I am surprised and pleased with these pans.
