I have had many other non stick pans in the past and these pans are strong and wipe clean without any intense amount of scrubbing. The handles do not get hot when cooking. I have made many meals in this and so far have gotten great results. I have attached a picture of the pans after cooking dinner one night and I was shocked at how quickly the pans cleaned up. I was not aware of this brand before but I am happy I took a chance!
