So far, we're really happy with this pan. The first test was to fry an egg with no oil or butter. It cooked evenly and slid right out without sticking. The second cook was some very sticky sweet and sour chicken. We really let the sauce reduce, which would have been like glue to remove on a regular pan. This one cleaned up very easily without tough scrubbing or scraping. So I'm satisfied with the non-stick claim. What else is great? The handle is metal so it can go in the oven from the stovetop (up to 500 degrees at least) but also hollow so it doesn't get extremely hot. It has a lid that fits and seals very well. And, of course, it can go in the dishwasher. All that remains to be seen is how it holds up over time. But right now, I think this pan is an excellent value and a great addition to the arsenal.
