I was so excited to get these Pans. I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of T-fal products. Trust me when I say, I have tried other brands over the years which I have paid much for, and never found a better value than T-fal.. This new set of the Endurance Collection is being added to a set of T-fal that I have owned for years which are still in great shape. The look of these pans is as impressive as the durability. I love the stylish color as well as the design of the handles. If was an area in which T-fal could have made any improvement in the past, it would be the handle design. They have addressed that in the newer collections and made a great product even better. Way to go T-fal.. I will always be a fan as well as a customer.
