This pan is truly a nonstick pan.I made scrambled eggs for my kids with cheese.I thought for sure,it was going to be stuck and so hard to clean.Boy was i surprised! It wiped out easily with a little water and paper towel.No scrubbing and my metal spatula didn't damage the pan when cooking.I love how huge it is.It fits well on my gas stove also.Overall a great pan for a large family,or even a small one
