Just want to say I would in a restaurant FOH and know that everyone always says how good they are but you do really appreciate it until you use them! I just want to say to those of you who like to keep your pots pretty (like me) get bar keepers friend not expensive at all and you don't need to use it but every once and a while. You will not need to scrub at them at all everything comes off with ease or light pressure. My husband bought these for me after 2 Sets on non-stick pans where no longer non-stick. These pans are by far the most non stick pan I have ever owned and it is not even non-stick lol. They are no doubt an investment however definitely worth wild if you cook dinner every day like me. I don't see myself ever needing to purchase another set for myself. However I think of getting them for my mom and mother-in-law. Bottom line LOVE THEM read the instructions and care tips on how to get the most from your cookware and you won't be sorry you did.
