I've had my set of Copper Chef Pans for about two months. I pretty much use them every day. I read the instructions before using them, seasoned them as instructed, I haven't had any issues with mine. The only complaint I do have about them is the handles getting hot, especially if you're cooking with two pans on the stovetop. Other than this, I absolutely love my pans. They're very sturdy and clean up is a breeze.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
