These pans look very smart and perform brilliantly. The black stone effect coating looks great against the steel handles and fixtures. They’re comfortable to use, not overly heavy and they feel sturdy and well made. The thick bases provides a nice even heat and the tough-as-nails non-stick coating is the best I’ve experienced, so there’s little chance of you having food weld itself to the surface. Clean up after you cook is super easy, a quick wipe and rinse is all it takes, no heavy scrubbing. I’ve used for them many meals and they still look good as new. A real pleasure to use and I feel they’re a very good investment which will last for years.
