Love these! They are dishwasher safe, but will get covered in white spots (temporary). I don't like the spots so I handwash most times. I think things cook faster and boil faster in this cookware! Saves so much time and effort in the kitchen. As other reviewers mentioned, there are small groves in the pans that do not work well with eggs or pancakes. I cannot flip my pancakes without them getting stuck in the groves and crumbling. If you aren't making scrambled eggs, I would have another fry pan available. Bacon cooks amazingly in these though! So all breakfast hope is not lost!
