After using the Padova 2pc Frypans, 8" and 10", I have been able to cook my pancakes, skinless chicken breast among other foods with no oil and still get that nice light brown color. It is really easy to just wipe our the pans and not have to wash them every use when I will be cooking the same food again later that day. I would recommend these pans for anyone who wants the browning of their foods, without having to use the oil. The beautiful light blue color of the outer pans will fit in with alot of kitchen colors.
