Scanpans are what I use day in and day out and have for over 8 years. The sixteen inch skillet is one of my favorite pieces. I have returned pans before for broken handles, they dealt with it expediantly. The downside, the glass lids are exspensive, I took my large one in to teach a class and one of the children broke it...$40 to replace...and that was just the lid. Cleaning is easy, and they go from stove to oven....which is pretty important for the way I cook. So, besides several omelet pans and a cast iron or two, scanpans are the way I have gone and they work for me. I do some personal cheffing so have had the chance to try out loads of stoves, ovens, and pots/pans.
