These pans have a nice weight to them. I ordered because of the champagne color as some recipes advise that dark or nonstick pans require alteration of the baking times and I'm often uncertain whether that recommendation applies to my pans. I figured with a light colored pan, even nonstick, I could just use standard baking times. I've found that to be true. In addition, they in my opinion are better quality than my pricier William Sonoma goldtouch pans.
