After reading the various reviews, I was unsure if I should buy the set. As the price approached me, I ordered the pans. One should be aware in advance what you want to use the pans. 1. We must not overheat the pans. 2. Very good for pancakes and egg dishes. 3. Good for Seared. 4. Easy to clean. Who needs higher temperatures should switch to simmering. They last much longer heat out, are more stable form and are supplied with lid.
