Extremely happy with my purchase. My last set was a 600 “gourmet” set. I love to cook and cook a lot. Those ones were difficult to work with from the beginning and turned black from the flames. I used them for so long because I wanted to justify paying so much for them. But I finally decided to buy these and get rid of the expensive ones. I’M SO GLAD I DID. No oils or butter needed. No need to season them. Clean up is almost too easy. I have a gas stove, no problem heating up. The handles can get thoroughly hot but no big deal.
