I purchased these sauté pans at the urging of my husband and I am so glad I did. They are everything they are advertised to be. The one thing I never bargained on, however, was that they don’t splatter much! What a plus. They sear so well, fry an egg splendidly and veggies are a dream. I just ordered the 12.5” and hope it will be just as good. You will not be disappointed.
