the absolute worst cookware I have every used...yes, originally may be nonstick..but after use, scratches appear and you cannot get the junk off with a blow torch...I have already thrown away 2 of the frying pans, am soooo sorry that I wasted money on this product  especially I have always liked Farberware products...I would not buy this again and wish I could get a refund...wasted my money when there are other options I could have chosen
