These pans are very sleek and aesthetically pleasing. Reading some of the comments I noticed that many were reporting that the food was sticking to the pan. Like any other stainless steel pans, these need to be seasoned prior to their first use to prevent sticking. Simply put the pans in low heat drizzle some oil and wipe any excess off. Repeat 3-4 times. Also, make sure that the protein you’re trying to cook is not super cold. Let it rest for about 10 minutes outside of the fridge before cooking it. Overall this is a great first set to have, It has every piece that you would possibly need for a basic set of pans.
