Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband and I rented a VRBO and found the pans too nasty to use. I had to have something that day to cook dinner, so we hurried to WalMart and bought two of these frying pans for $29. We've used them every day for 6 weeks, and LOVE THEM. I own All-Clad, Calphalon, Le Cruset, and Mauviel products to name a few. I used to work at Williams-Sonoma, so I know how to treat cookware. I can only assume that folks who've had trouble have unintentionally misused these pans. We have NEVER heated them beyond medium heat (and medium heat is plenty high to even sear foods in these pans if you add a little coconut oil - unrefined, organic, in glass, of course). We let them cool before cleaning - according to instructions. We use ONLY a flexible silicone spatula or tongs when moving food around. We never put them on a burner that bigger than the base of the pan, and always make sure it stays centered on the heat source. We use only a soft sponge or Dobie with the lightest bit of an environment friendly liquid detergent, and dry with a soft towel. They look brand new and perform to the highest of standards (mine). I plan to replace ALL of my non-stick cookware with GreenLife Ceramics when I get home and test them on my gas burners (we have electric in the rental). That's the only missing link as to why other users have had trouble if they're doing everything else right. If it works out like I anticipate...anyone want my scratched up expensive "non-stick" Calphalon for their workshop? Update: I love these pans so much I let my son have the first set, and I bought another set for myself, and the 12" fry pan, too. The gas burners have caused the SLIGHTEST bit of wear to the flat area of bottoms. Barely noticeable and a non-issue for me since they're SO wonderful to cook with.
