I received the 2 pack of frying pans, one large and one smaller, and I was skeptical at first. They have the rings, or grooves, that circle the pans. I thought they would be harder to use. I thought the ridge would make it more difficult to get the spatula under my grilled cheese or eggs. However, I didn't encounter that issue. Something makes it easier for things to lift off. The pans were really easy to clean with just soap and water and a light scrub. To put them to the test I used a metal whisk to make sauce. I've posted the photos, too!
