Okay, Spirit Thermalon used to be my favorite cookware, until I discovered Cuisinart CastLite cast iron cookware. Still, these Spirit Thermalon pans get plenty of use and have held up well. They clean up easily, except that I  have to polish the stainless outside periodically. (This is true of all the stainless cookware I own. Bar Keepers Friend® is, well, your friend.) The handles are very comfortable. Definitely a good value.
