This is my second purchase of this pan. I had my first pan for three years. It's a terrific size and cooks evenly. It was truly nonstick, but in the past few months that has changed. I also noticed a few dings in the bottom. I think three years is a good lifespan for a nonstick pan, so I started to look for a new pan. I realized I like this one too much to live without it, so I purchased it again! I especially like that it doesn't have a long handle to fuss with in the cupboard. I recommend this pan.
