Tried a set of these several months ago and both my husband and I agreed they were good enough to buy a second set...so we did! The only thing missing from this set was the smallest pan. There's just the two of us and the small one gets used frequently. I stack them carefully between bubble wrap to avoid potential damage. So far-NONE! Being 70 years old, I've been through my share of pans. They are used every day. Never put in the dishwasher and they ALL clean up with no elbow grease at all. Keep the stovetop temps low and maybe a medium when boiling water for pasta. Looking for a one-quart saucepan and then I'll have it all in my kitchen! A true bonus from the design of these pans are NO rivets inside the pan. I really enjoy that design perk.
