When I first got these pans I was excited to make my pancakes! I cooked the first one on medium heat and it burned. After figuring out that you can only cook with these on low temperatures, I was a little disappointed. These are not the best for searing or cooking steaks or other protiens. They are easy to clean and food comes off easily. If you adapt to cook on low temps and do not use cooking sprays these are the pans for you.
