The non stick coating on these pans is incredible!  It takes the abuse of metal utensils, high heat cooking and the dishwasher and looks and cooks as good as new.
It's made from aluminum so it conducts heat really well and they've reinforced the bottom to make it even more efficient.  The handles are a durable plastic that stay cool.  I love cooking with glass lids!  Everything you need is included in this set.
