These are nice pans.  The lid handle gets hot when you cook with the lid on.  They clean pretty well, sometimes they will discolor inside on the bottom of the pans but that cleans up nicely with Bon Ami cleaner.  The instructions said that they can be put in the dishwasher but the copper stripe may darken.  So I washed them for months by hand.  They copper still darkened and if you care (which I do not it is a narrow band) you would have to polish the copper band.  However,  one day I decided to put the pan in the dishwasher since it darkened anyway and the chrome part of the pan came out beautifully shiny and the copper band looked copper again.  It is a dull copper color not shiny but the bright.
