These pans are great. I have used every pan already. Nothing sticks to the surface. Everything just slides out. I didn't even use butter in the skillet. The pans are very heavy duty and I know they will last a long time.I also like the design.  I like how you can use them on the stove top or put them in the oven. I now know  what to get my daughter for Christmas. She is going to love a set of these pans.
