I have to say that after I used my pans a few times, they now let everything slide around. I am liking them much better and the copper pans wash up so much faster than the other non-stick pans. After I bought the copper pans from Costco, I came across one of the original 'as seen on TV' pans and purchased it since I didn't have a square pan anymore. Their directions said to season the pan first before using. I did this and it worked right off the bat and didn't stick like my other copper pans did at first. Okay, so now I am a believer and am enjoying my copper pans.
