are they non-stick? do they clean well?

Yes, they are non-stick and they clean up beautifully! I love the handle that keeps the business end off the counter too!

I mentioned in my review - the food does stick more than the silicone ones. But they are nonstick and fairly easy to clean. I usually scrape the spatula clean on the edge of the pan.

non stick and clean well...the best utensils ever! I especially love the fact that it does not touch the counter when cooking. Hope this helps :)

I put them in the dishwasher and have not noticed anything wrong with them . I have had my set for 27 years, each of my daughters received a set for their wedding gifts. The only negative is: they are not non stick but they are EXTREMELY durable!

To be honest, I do not put them in the dishwasher as they clean up nicely with mild soap and water, using a mild rag to get them clean. They are very nice pans and have been pleased with them.

Yes, I've had them for 6 years and they are still just as good as new. They are excellent to cook with and if something gets stuck on they are easy to clean if you just soak them for a little bit.

Jim, Yes they are easy to clean. They are not teflon coated if that is what you are looking for. They clean up like any non-coated stainless steel pan. They are a nice cookware set, better then I expected for the price.

I haven't had that YET! But I love these pans. They are easy to clean and can be put in the dishwasher. I prefer these over nonstick.

Well, they are still non stick, just not Teflon but anodized. The surface does not scratch-even though they say you can use metal utensils, I do not and never put them in a dishwasher either. I have 2 older skillets that are Analon and their surfaces are still perfect and fabulous. I have an electric cooktop, so I mostly start on med-high to medium and adjust from there. They are the most fantastic set of pans I have ever owned, and I've owned bunches! If they are good enough for Top Chef, they are good enough for me! You will not be disappointed.

I haven't found them to be any more durable than other non-stick pans. Although they advertise that you can use metal utensils, I found that they scratched easily, and then lost their non-stick surface. I think we were conned into thinking that they are better quality because they are Danish, but I definitely haven't found that to be the case!

Absolutely. I wash them all the time in the dishwasher. I love these pans. They are so non-stick that I can cook anything in them and they are a breeze to clean. They heat evenly, also.

No. Definitely not. In fact, they are kind of like the opposite of non-stick pans. You have to be pretty careful when cooking foods that have a high risk of sticking to things in these pans. If you burn stuff on, it can be a chore to get all the burnt residue off. That being said, I think they're great pans. They heat very quickly and get very, very hot. In my experience they heat much faster, and get much hotter than any non-stick pan that I have seen (and I've seen a lot). They'll give you great control over what you're cooking (much better control than a non-stick pan), and you can cook some more creative things in them, but they are certainly not the pans to be looking for if you just want to make some quick scrambled eggs and have no chance of any egg sticking to the pan and being hard to clean. (All that said, there is one big advantage to cleaning these over cleaning a non-stick pan: you can stick it in the water immediately after using! Even if it's still hot. Doing that to a non-stick pan will destroy it. With these, it's no problem. In fact, being sure to do this is the best way to make sure that you don't end up with any hard-to-remove stains/residue)

Yes they are. Since they are not really non-stick, it does not matter. I have been dishwashing them and have not faced any issues.

No, but that's how I like them. Non-stick always seems to cause over and uneven cooking in my experience.

I have washed them by hand and in dishwasher and they appear to be very dishwasher safe. I've only put the cookie sheets in the dishwasher and they come out clean and the non-stick finish looks and performs the same as when new. Because the finish is "non-stick" if there is something burnt or stuck on the pan, running warm water to cover and soak it for a few minutes followed by a gentle scrub with a brush cleans the pans easily.

No, they are not non-stick pans. They are good quality stainless interiors. Because I like to brown certain foods at higher heats (something we are warned not to do in non-stick pans) I chose these pans. They are the best, most lightweight pans I have ever owned. And, though I have not had them long, I am extremely pleased with my purchase! Good Luck!

It doesn't have a nonstick coating but I haven't had a problem with anything sticking as long as I rinse them right away

Yes. So far the coating has held up very well, but they are lightweight pans as you would expect, so definitely not as thick of nonstick coating as other types of kitchen pans.

Yes, we absolutely love these pans and they are still nonstick after over a year of daily use!
