I make my living as a professional chef and for a long time I worked for a large equipment manufacturer that happens to run a retail location. Scanpan was amongst other fun kitchen objects, but I didn't give this product much thought because we were told to really PUSH our manufacturer's cookware. So one day the distributor came in to educate us as staff about ScanPan and gave us a 10 inch fry pan. I took it to our lakehouse to be used as a knockabout pan and after my first use I have one word for ScanPan - WOW!

Because this is a titanium based pan it won't flake so it's not like cooking on a teflon surface, I can use metal on the pan itself and not damage it. It cleans like a dream come true because nothing sticks - NOTHING. And it cooks like a dream, evenly and consistently.

So that's my story. I ditched the all aluminum cookware my mother had left me and replaced it with the 5 peice set. As for icing on the cake I discovered that the two metal lids that were included with the set worked beautifully on the 10 inch fry pan(They also have ventilation holes which whistle when your water comes to a boil). I chose the 5 piece set because it can do anything and everything. I am glad I chose the professional series because the set comes with handle mits - the handles are ergonomically fitted, don't transfer heat due to proper engineering, and can go from stovetop to oven without my worrying about a plastic handle melting like in the classic series.

Bottom line: You don't have to be a professional chef to afford or appreciate this great set of pots and pans and they'll last a lifetime. This is hands down the best set of cookware I have ever used.

I LOVE MY SCAN PANS! THEY ARE THE BEST PANS I HAVE EVER OWNED AND I WOULDN'T TRADE THEM FOR ANYTHING. I HAVE A SECOND FRYING PAN AND ENJOY MAKING OMELETS IN ONE AND POTATOES OR PANCAKES IN THE OTHER. NOTHING STICKS TO THEM SO YOU CAN USE LESS OIL. AND THEY DON'T CHIP OR SCRATCH. MY HUSBAND SAYS THAT THE FOOD EVEN LOOKS NICER SINCE IT SLIDES OFF THE PAN. AND, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE TOXINS IN TEFLON PANS, WHICH CAN CAUSE URINARY TRACK INFECTIONS OR KILL CANARIES! (SEE TEFLON PANS ON DR.MERCOLA.COM.) I HAD A HARD TIME DECIDING BETWEEN THE PROFESSIONAL OR THE CLASSIC SET. BUT, I DID LIKE THE HANDLES ON THE PROFESSIONAL PANS. EITHER WOULD BE NICE.
