These pans are great ! I love that the pans are free of toxic chemicals and are still so well made. The 5-ply construction of these pans makes them extremely durable. The ceramic nonstick coating has helped ensure no food gets stuck on my pan during heating. I love the look of the pans also. They are sleek and are good sizes/weights that are manageable. Although metal tools are considered safe with these pans I prefer to use wood.
