These pans are awesome. A birthday present upgrade from my $20 college set, these have been great to use. They definitely heat very evenly and clean up is much easier than I expected since they aren't explicitly "non-stick." I haven't washed them in the dishwasher yet, only by hand.  However, after cooking in two of them with cheese, one was soaked immediately, the other Sat for a bit. After a good soak with some soap and hot water both cleaned up with no difficulty. I barely needed to scrub. The only thing I would warn of is that If the handles are over the burners, too, they get very hot so be careful grabbing them off the stove. Great buy! Nice and heavy but still easy to pick up and move around. So glad I picked these.
