These pots and pans are extremely high quality in every way. From the design to the way they cook, and the way they clean, these are an essential to have in the kitchen. Upon taking these out of the packaging the first thing I noticed was the balanced weight of each pan, and the ergonomic handles. These pans are not too heavy even though they are a 5-ply design. They boast amazing heat distribution and make cooking on this surface a breeze. I used the fry pan for searing meats and my veggies as shown in the video and got perfect results. What was even more surprising to me was how easy it was to clean. I did not even have to soak the pan before cleaning it, even after searing on high heat. All residue came off with a simple scrub. I could not recommend these pans enough!!
