I cooked my first meal in these pans last night and was completely amazed. The inside of the pans are so smooth and because of that.. nothing sticks! I love the coating on the pans on the outside it feels almost.. velvety. The lids all fit real snug on top and the handles have a nice silicone feel. Nothing burned in the bottom while I was cooking and everything heated up evenly. When it was time to wash everything... they cleaned up and looked all bright and shiny again. They were really easy to clean! I am impressed!!!! A fantastic product!!!
