45 year old here, I remember my father using cheques a long time ago. (non-USAian)

Read your comment, thought well that sucks and proceeded to do exactly the same 🤦‍♂️

My parents had them and were ecstatic at how great they were. Unfortunately that’s in the past tense.

They lasted longer than other nonstick, but in the end they started peeling just like other brands and they went back to cast iron and stainless.
