These bronze colored pans are very sturdy, a bit heavier then other pans I have used. Great quality! I have used these to cook many things from eggs to steak and pork chops and they heat up evenly and cook evenly. I used them in the oven with no issues (up to 400 degrees). These pans are not dishwasher safe, but they are so easy to wash, nothing sticks. I absolutely love these pans and will not use any other pans from now on! If you want a heavy duty, good quality set of pans then these are the ones for you!
