As someone who has bought, used and discarded their fair share of pans throughout the past 5 yrs, I can honestly say these are the best pans I've owned EVER! I was looking for andonized pans over a year ago - told my husband what I wanted but he stayed with family who owned ceramic pans so that's what I got for Christmas last year. I detested those things! Everything stuck to them, they were impossible to clean and within a few months, there were marks on them that I couldn't clean. The year before, I had fallen for the commercials on those copper pans. Out of all I bought, I loved the deep, square one and that was it! I sooo hated the small one that my husband made eggs in - both of these 2 I mention? Eggs would stick to them so bad, I would have to soak them for hours. And the rivets? OHHH the rivets! I had food in those rivets like crazy. My mom did listen to me and for Christmas bought me a set of Andonized pans, just from another company. They were great BUT they didn't have coated rivets. So when I had enough of all this, I stumbled across these and gave them a shot. Oh how I wish these had been bought years ago. They are a cinch to clean - no matter what it is. From eggs to steak to burned food lol Doesn't matter - I have not have 1 single thing that I could not simply wipe off and clean with no problem! The rivets? I'm in LOVE with these rivets! They're coated so there is no food sticking to them!!! Things cook evenly - I've had no problems with uneven cooking. So I hand wash them. Big deal. I'd do this for the rest of my days to keep these pans, believe me! Buy these, you won't regret it!

These are a great pan out of the box, the problem is that they don't last. My set started to lose it's non-stick and when I sent it back to T-Fal under the the "Lifetime Warranty" they returned it untouched, and told me it was a cleaning problem. I then called them and explained that it was only one section on the edge that lost it's non stick, so I didn't believe it was a cleaning problem, they responded by suggesting I buy I new pan!!!! Total waste of money!

The same 10" pan I bought in the past was by far my favorite non stick hands down! Has a great side edge that makes flipping food super easy. Surface has held up really well even though I have to use a small amount of oil after awhile.
However, even though these pans have that edge, the bottoms are not even remotely flat. The 8" is high in the middle and the 10" is warped the the side (tested with water before putting on stove) . My previous 10" is totally flat. Only difference is the rivets were not coated by non stick material on older one.
Also, just to test the non stick, I washed the 8" and fried an egg with no oil for the first cook. Usually I can get at least a few months of complete non stickability. This time both eggs bonded to the bottom and had to cleaned off. Not good for the trial run...
I think they are going back and maybe I can find something else with that edge I like. I tried the Pro series in a 12" but had the same problem with the center being higher than the sides making liquids flow to the outer rim. If I have to use oil, may try to find something ceramic or stainless.
I have a green pan that works great with a minute amount of oil but the sides are much lower so harder to do the quick flipping motion that works so well with fast cooking.

I originally purchased the 12" pan at the end of 2017 and it lasted until September of this year. The pan had a great coating and was very non-stick for about a year and a half. At that point, it started to stick just slightly. I noticed it with things like fried eggs where it became slightly more difficult to flip food without some sticking. One thing that did bother me with the pan was that it warped very early on. I left my electric stove on high heat when I was trying to get it warmed up quickly and forgot about it for a couple of minutes. When I came back the pan was no longer flat. In the description they state that the base is warp resistant, but only up to a point. So since i have a glass top stove it was annoying from that point on dealing with a curved bottom pan where food would always drift to one side of the pan.

Overall though it's a great pan, and it lasted for about as long as I thought it would. I ordered new ones since the coating started to deteriorate at the heat indicator spot in the middle of the pan and I didn't want the coating to be in my food. I've used the pan in the oven and it does just fine. It's a pretty sturdy pan with a thicker bottom than a cheap pan you'd find at the store. I have pictures of the new ones I got compared to the one that lasted just under 2 years.

To summarize:

> Pros
- Great non-stick coating makes cooking easy
- Good price for the quality of pan
- Sturdy bottom holds heat well and distributes heat evenly.
- Oven safe

> Cons
- Pan became warped and didn't sit flat on my stovetop.
- Coating wore out and started to flake at the heat indicator spot
- Handle started to become loose with no way to tighten

They're nice heavy pans that cook evenly. The nonstick surface is durable and easy to clean so far.
I've only used the larger pan 6 or 7 times and already the rivets that hold on the handle are loosening up a bit. RIVETS not screws so there's no tightening them. At this rate it might be good for 20-25 uses before the handle gets wobbly and routing food catches under the loose rivets inside. I wouldn't buy these again.

I tried to absolutely abuse these pans thinking that they would stick, scratch apart, bend out of shape. And they are as good as new. Not disappointed -- would recommend. Thinking of buying the whole set.
