These are the nonstick pans I have been dreaming about! They're nice and heavy and the handle stays cool. Compared to the nonstick pans I had before, these are a lot more efficient in terms of how much heat it takes to make cooking happen. In the others, I had to start at medium-high and these do the same thing at low gas heat on the same burner. Amazing quality. I do wish they came with lids but those will be on my wish list.
