I received a set of these pans 30 years ago as a wedding gift and I just had to replace them. They are so durable and I wanted the exact same type. (I do not like the pans that have glass lids, so I wanted the metal ones). They wash up wonderful and nothing ever sticks to them. I did a search to find ones just like the wedding gift and was so happy to find them!! I am sure I will have these for another 30 years...Well worth the cost!!
