These are non-stick, but they don't look like any other non-stick pans I've ever seen. The cooking surface isn't smooth. It has a raised pattern that looks a little like delicate chainmail. You're supposed to wash them before using, which makes sense. You're supposed to season them before using them for the first time, and apparently you don't have to do that again. That makes less sense. (There were no instructions in the package, so I looked them up at the Cuisinart website.) But it's easy enough do to, so go ahead and do it. After that, you clean them immediately. That is, as soon as you're done cooking, but hot soapy water into the pan, and let it sit so you can wipe it out later. It's different than just dealing with them later, after everything has crusted over, but it takes a few seconds, and the results are worth it. Later, when you're done eating, you just rinse the crud away. I haven't had to use anything other than soap and a paper towel to get them looking new again. I would say that the surface isn't really non-stick so much as low-stick. It's not one of those surfaces that you see on infomercials, where eggs and steaks just slide around like air-hockey pucks. But they're easy to cook on, and if you follow the protocol, they'll clean up just as easily. So that's cleaning. What about actually cooking? These are great for that, too! They heat up quickly and evenly. One of the hardest things about using them is remembering that they *do* distribute heat so well that you shouldn't really raise the heat about medium. You don't need to crank up the flame to pre-heat one of these, and in fact (again, according to the instructions), you shouldn't. They are light enough to handle easily for things like sauteing, or flipping omelettes. And the handles stay pretty cool, so you don't really need oven mitts unless you are letting something cook for a really long time. I love that all three pans come with lids. In the winter, when the windows have to be closed, we cook a lot with the lids on, just to keep floating food particles from migrating around the house. With other sets of pans, we've had to improvise with lids that don't quite fit. But these lids fit perfectly. Durability is always the key issue with coated cookware, and problems there don't show up for months or even years. They're supposed to be scratch-resistant (the box actually says scratch-proof), but I've seen that promise made for a lot of cookware, none of which has really lived up to it. Interestingly, the instructions assure me that even if the surface does get scratched, it won't affect its performance. I'm tempted to test that, although not with *my* pans. But so far, I get the feeling that as long as I take care of these, they will take care of me. Read more

We have had Cuisinart pans since we were first married over 17 years ago. Their stainless cookware can be a bit of a chore to clean when you burn the rice onto the bottom of the pot. We've been trying to train our household to not turn the burners on high before filling them up and getting them to temperature. A number of our pans have warped over years of too high heat. These pans will still warp if you turn the burner on high without having something in the pan, but they are comfortably nonstick. They're easy to clean, of solid build quality, and feel luxurious to use and look presentable even if you use them for serving food. The sizes are true to spec. They do have some heft to them, but not nearly the heft of the Made-In steel pans or Cast Iron. The lids are of solid construction. Well worth the expense in my opinion. I have heard of possible cracking of the nonstick finish, but we have not succeeded in cracking any yet, and we're hard on dishes. They look as good as new after a few months of constant use. We got rid of the other nonstick cookware we had which we'd been replacing from time to time as the nonstick finish wore off. Oh, and have I mentioned they work well for cooking? They cook about like any other pan, just more durable than the other nonstick options, and they're lighter than full steel pans, which my wife and children love. Read more
