I was trying to move away from non-stick. Never thought I was pampered by non-stick 's ez clean. Food gets stuck fast and cleaning is a pain. The sizes are great for everyday cooking but with two kids around its tough to clean them.will suggest if you are standing infront of the stove & making sure food does not burn & stick. But, if you move away a lil bit like with non-stick you could have another cleaning project.Better I have moved to hard anodized. which ,are not non-stick but are super ez to clean. Bought my calpholon ONE (hard anodized)
