I have to say that these pots and pans are the best I have ever owned! I cook every day , so I definitely know good cookware! First of all, they look really nice and are very well made. I am very impressed with how even my food cooks. What's even more impressive is the sear technology. Even though they are all non-stick, I still get a very nice sear on all of the meats and fish all without the meat sticking or getting burned. Once I am done cooking, the clean-up is super easy. I honestly don't think I'll ever need to put these pans in the dishwasher. I just "de-glaze" the pans with a little water then use a tiny put of dish detergent and that's it! Again- super fast and easy. I wish these pans were available years ago- it would have made my cooking experiences that much more enjoyable! I highly recommend these to anyone who cooks at home!
