I've had these since Xmas 2009 and have put them through the ringer. Dish washed them when I wasn't supposed too. Had people use forks on them :p , teaching an 8 yo how to cook, etc. they have stood up to the test. My most used pan is FINALLY starting to show signs of wear. Doesn't Stick It only sticks around the rivets, but that IS to be expected. Heat Distribution Does it's job well. Ease of Handling Great for me and my family!!! ....but as my 8 yo pointed out, the larger pans are a bit heavy for her. So young or older cooks might find them a little heavy especially when full. Ease of Cleaning Don't mess up and put them in the dishwasher. They're meant for hand washing. But they're easy to clean !! Design Covers all my family's needs and look nice on my pot rack. Love all the lids too. Durability Love!!
