This is the second set of green pans I have owned and continue to be impressed with the quality and value they bring to the kitchen. This set of stainless steel pans is much heavier than other pans for theirs I have had, this seems to carryover into great heat retention and even heating across the large pans. We are big fans of the health considerations Greenpan takes to make quality non-stick products. We found be taking it easy and following their guidance, these pans will do just about everything you need them too.
