My husband just bought me this set and I couldnt be happier! Food cooks beautifully and clean up is a breeze! Some important hints: Cook on low heat, always use butter or oil for frying and saute. Never scrub with abrasives and use pads between pans for storage to prevent chips or nicks. If you do this it will last forever! I feel some of the negative reviews on here are because some people dont do tthese basic things to care for their GreenPans!
