I use these pans everyday and love them. They conduct heat quickly at a low to med temp. The suggestions on how to cook with these pans via websight was terrific and works exactly as they explained. I have had these pans for a month now and they still look brand new. Food releases easily and they clean easily. I highly recommend them. I think they are worth the extra money as I expect them to last a LONG time. No more buying new pans every couple years.
