text: I got these as a gift. I've always used Cuisinart Black Teflon for many years but I have to say that this set is absolutely fabulous! I've cooked with them a few times already and cleanup is so easy. Nothing sticks to them and since they can't be used in the dishwasher handwashing is and breeze. I really hope they hold up. Time will tell but ands of now I'm a satisfied customer.
