I have all clad pots, but no pans until purchasing these. I had purchased a less expensive nonstick pan, which lasted a couple years with heavy use. And finally, I decided to replace it with these great pans. They are great conductors of heat, and the nonstick is definitely better than my last budget pan. If you are using spray oil, you hardly need any to fry eggs or warm up food. Very happy! Will probably buy a regular stainless pan from all clad soon.
