Mine are the SS ones, not the non stick. I was afraid of that, because I learned to cook on non stick. There are a few tarnish marks on mine, but that is from cooking highly acidic sauces over long times...think Sunday gravy spaghetti sauce. As far as cleaning, I put some hot water and dish soap into them after cooking whatever. Come dishes time they some clean with usually no more than a rag in the soapy water. And this is in pans that go from the range to the oven...baked on caked on crap and everything!
Will never go back to the cheapo pans that I was using. Well worth the investment!
