I was hesitant to buy a metal pan because I've always used the non-stick surface pans. I was afraid I would end up having to scrub all the time but these are absolutely amazingly easy to clean... everything just wipes right out and I don't have to worry about the coating being scratched and flaking off.  I am extremely happy with these pans in the way they cook as well... they heat up better because of the special bottom surface.  Love them so much I ordered a whole set!
