I have not bought those. My personal opinion? Buy one pan like this for eggs http://www.amazon.com/World-Cuisine-4-25-Inch-Non-Stick-81412/dp/B000ZM8ESS use it only for eggs and hand wash after every use. For everything else use something like this http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Triply-Stainless-13-Piece-Cookware/dp/B003L1CW8S/ref=sr_1_23?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1301017360&sr=1-23.

Other options for non stick are well seasoned cast iron or lots of bacon grease.

The ones you linked just seem gimmicky to me, again personal opinion.

One last thing about pans, you (most of the time) get what you pay for. Good pans are pricey, but with proper care can last a very long time, in the case of cast iron-generations.

I like my cast iron pans an my cast iron griddle. Seasoned right nothing sticks.

I have a brand new set of cast iron pans and they sit on the stove as decoration....same thing stuff sticks too much.

I need a new griddle though....I had to throw my other one out because it got broken.

I dunno, I don't trust anything that's "as seen on TV". If you really wanted to "go green" how about these? They are pricey, though.

I never have trouble with stuff sticking in my calphalon. Couple of tricks for them, 1 a tbs of oil in the pan never hurt anyone. In fact it's an easy way to help get some health oils into your body. 2. make sure the pan is hot before you put food in. I don't know how to explain the science behind it, but when a pan is not hot enough, and food is put in, it cooks to the pan. When a pan is hot (even if you turn it down once the food is in) and the oil hot, food will sear, but not stick. 3 Stop moving it so much! Most people, used to be myself included, would hear that sizzle and think, oh crap, I am gonna burn it, and move it around a bunch. steaks are a great example of this. It's better to let food sit in one spot for several minutes and let it get a sear, then it will scoot right around. It's hard not to touch it until then.

I

my calphalon because it heats so evenly, quickly and retains heat properly. I have a smaller set, not the one listed, but really you don't need 14 skillets etc. I think it's better to spend the same amount of money on a smaller quality set then a larger cheaply made set.

*Again, I love cooking, I am no professional, every thing I ever learned about pans was from Alton Brown and this is my personal opinion. I don't want anyone thinking I am bad mouthing their cookware.*

I love my cast iron pans also. Another nice thing about them is that you can turn the heat down 'cause they can get really hot really fast!
They make great grilled cheese, and great for frying fish.
