After using these pans daily for a years, they are worth the money. They are still non-stick, still easy to clean, still looks good.try your best to keep them nice, we hand-wash, use felt pot separators, don't use metal utensils, and don't put them in the oven. They have a few dings and a couple scrapes, mostly around the rim and around the edge of the base where they sit on the electric heating element, The scrapes haven't affected their performance, they are still non-stick and still easy to swipe clean - even after a couple days of stuff being dried on.
