These are great pans for the home chef. They have a professional look and a nice (not too) heavy weight. Food releases easy which is nice when flipping eggs and omelets. You can sear your chicken or steaks on the cooktop and finish in the oven. I’ve had these for about two months now, use them every day and they still look new. Clean up is easy, just use the sprayer and everything comes out, a little soap and water and you’re ready for next time. All those pans you see on TV... can’t hold a candle to these.
