I had my last T-Fal pan FOREVER, but I let a friend borrow my stove for game night and he decided to scorch the bottom of my pan something fierce... it's still non-stick, but I decided to just get a whole new set and let him have that one since he doesn't have many pans. So glad I did, this set is amazing! And it even comes with some utensils that I could gift to my same friend (I'm hoping if I give him enough stuff he won't want to experiment at my house).
