Just getting used to this pan.  I have other lighter breakfast pans for eggs and all.  This one is good for a steak cooked with butter and rosemary and whole garlics or vegetable saute finished off with added water to cook and soften the veges.  I use some oil to begin the cooking (but less than I would in a stainless steel)  even though it is a non-stick pan.  It is best used at medium heat or slightly medium-high for a sizzle.  I am using it over a gas flame.  Rinse when done and wipe with a paper towel to remove oils and then finish washing with a gentle dish soap and water.  No need to oil after washing.  Instructions say do not use citrus detergents or baking soda on this pan.  I hang it up on the wall after washing.  I like the heavy weight and the high sides and the look of the pan.  I think it will be a welcome addition to my kitchen for years to come.
