This cookware set is beautiful and well made. The first use was searing steaks and they came out perfect with a beautiful crust. Second use was an omelet which was a disaster. The eggs stuck to the tiny grooves and were difficult to get out despite using butter in the pan. Clean up leaves a lot to be desired as food sticks in the little grooves. They do heat up quickly and I’m hopeful I will begin to like them more as I use them!
