I earned the 5 piece SS set through Pan o Rama this year. The box has been sitting in my office area, opened, but the pans were still inside. Husband finally asked when I was going to use my new pans. Good question. I don't need any more pans in my kitchen, but seeing that I have a bunch of shows starting next week, I thought it might be a good idea to get them out of the box and test drive them.
Let me just say up front that I am a stainless steel cooker. Only have 1 pan in my kitchen that's non stick and don't use it that much. Have the PC 12 in family Exec skillet, as well as the grill pan, and the small sauce pan that was on the supply order form, but don't use them on a day to day basic, just for shows. Was excited to see PC get stainless, but didn't need any for my personal use.
Enough background, on to the test. Made grilled ham and cheese with tomatoo soup. Pretty basic, used the saute pan for the grilled cheese, and the sauce pan for the soup. Purposely let the soup boil over and then sit on the stove. Afterwards let it cool off a bit before I threw it into sink with the dishwasher. Moments later, a clean pan. Just a swish of the sponge and all gone. Both the saute pan and the sauce pan cleaned up like a breeze and look brand new. Tonight I am making mashed potatoes in the sauce pan and will see how that goes.
Love the pans, my only comment is the length of the handles. For some reason, they are longer than my other pans. Could be a ergonomical answer for that, but beats me.
All in all, thumbs up.

I cannot even fit the 12" skillet if I wanted to.
