When I first
received this set of pans, I was a little wary of them for more than
one reason. I read up on them when I first ordered them and saw there
was varying reviews, some very good and some very, very bad. I had to
wonder what the truth was really going to be. I have a couple of pans
from this company already and absolutely love them but I know that
some products are better than other. But, after using them, I am very
happy to say that they completely live up to the other pans and I am
very happy with them!
The price for these
pans might seem a little steep but I assure you that they are well
worth it. This set comes with three pans, an eight inch, ten inch and
twelve inch pan. They're all very well constructed. I've owned cheap
pans and these pans certainly are not cheap. There's no give in their
handles and they certainly hold up to being used. I made sure to only
use wooden utensils on mine and I would definitely recommend that you
do the same. Otherwise, I would only use plastic or silicone. Any
metal utensils could scratch the greblon coating on the pan and then
it's non-stick properties would be gone.
I used these pans on
an electric stove and I will admit that there is some discoloration
to the bottom of one of the pans. I assume that it's because I had
the heat too high and the pan on the heat for too long but it is
something that I know some people would want to know. It only
happened with one pan and I don't particularly care what the bottom
of my pans look like anyway. Just be careful of the amount of heat
you use if discoloration is a concern of yours.
Now, I'm sure you're
wondering if the pans are truly non-stick. With the pictures I took,
I used butter so it wasn't a true test but I did test by cooking
hamburgers, turkey burgers and boneless, skinless chicken breast.
Without anything to lubricate the pans, they didn't stick at all,
which is very impressive. Turkey burgers are especially bad for
sticking. As for cleaning, they just wipe right clean. There was no
scrubbing or soaking or anything. I don't know if they'll stick worse
with more use but, as of right now, they are impressively non-stick.
This set of pans
also comes with pan protectors, bright green pieces of felt that you
put between the pans to make sure they don't get scratched when
you're storing them. I never thought of worrying about that before
but it's very nice not to have to worry about it now. Overall, I
would definitely give these pans the highest rating and recommend
them to anyone looking for a new set. They're eco-friendly, very
attractive, don't stick and are amazingly easy to clean. You
definitely won't regret buying them!
