We got this set as a replacement for a 10 year old + Calphalon non-stick pan that we got at our wedding. The non-stick surface on that pan was just spent. The new ones are great! Everything slides right off after cooking. The instructions say that you can put them in the dishwasher but we are still washing ours by hand to keep them nicer for longer. It is nice to have the 2 different sizes and I like the higher rim on the pans as well. The glass lid from my old 12 inch pan fits perfect on the new 12 inch pan so I can still use that as well. I am happy with my purchase and think the price was fair knowing that the pans will last a very long time. We used our other pan almost every day.
