Right from opening them they are very lovely! Light lid, easy to handle pans. Gorgeous deep lavender color. I have cooked several things from eggs, sausages, hamburger stew, fried potatoes- nothing sticks and they clean up like new. Absolutely in love with them and can’t say enough. Worth every bit spent.❤️❤️❤️Thank you Kilne for making a high quality product in a world full of cutting corners and high priced garbage.
