I now have all 3 sizes of the Nanobond skillets and love each of them. They feel balanced and elegant in the hand, with their rounded edges, which I like. I also like that I can heat them really high for searing, with no fear of warping. After using them, I soak them in water for about 15 minutes and they clean like a dream, with no scouring. Occasionally I use the Hestan pan cleaner (which is amazing and I use on my other brand stainless steel pans, too) but mostly it is just dish soap and water. These are dishwasher safe but so far I haven't cleaned them that way since they are so simple to hand wash. If I were buying a whole set of pots and pans to last me the rest of my life, Nanobond would be my first choice, hands down.
