Hi Wayne,
My stove is a coil type- I have a gas one in the garage that I hope
to hook up soon. As far as the pans go, I am really happy with them-
the only downfall is the weight of them- I guess I'm going to be in
bad shape when I get older as I'm already having arthritis issues! I
also like the way they drain- no lip for stuff to get stuck in, and
they clean up nicely. A great purchase, in my opinion!
