These fry pans are great. We have a complete set and have used the 8 in. so much that we decided we need a second one. These fry pans do not stick. With proper care these will last a long, long time. We fry with them, we brown steaks with the pans and they work as good as the cast iron skillets for browning steaks In order to seal the moisture in the steak. We have baked in them for many different recipes. You can tell we love them. I was very please to be able to order open stock for individual pans to get another 8 in. Pan.
