I bought The Rock 10" frying pan because it was 70% off, thinking it was being discontinued. I liked the fact that it had deep sides and I wanted to use it for more than just frying foods. When I got it home I realized I wanted more so I immediately went out and bought the entire set. The "Rock" coating was easy to clean and nothing, I mean nothing stuck to it. The weight of the product is misleading. The pans are of high quality but not so heavy that they become cumbersome on my stove. I love making one meal dishes and I know can leave the pan on the stove to simmer all day because the heat is distributed evenly. I've had my set (and I have added additional pieces) for awhile and they still look brand new. Every time I go to wash one of these pans, I tell my husband, "I love these frying pans!"
