I have been using these pans for a couple of weeks now. They take some getting used to. If you follow the instructions they do work very well. Using lower heat really helps these pans. Do not try and cook without oil or butter. It uses less but not no oil or butter. I find the pan is easy to clean but the oil or fats do tend to stick to the top of the pan and doesn't just wipe out. They are much easier to clean than other stainless pans I own. It is nice to get away from Teflon style pans with the known issues they have.
