We bought this thinking it was ultimate high quality. We thought we could save money as we go through standard $25-$30 skillets about every 1.5 years. We thought we made an investment for a lifetime. Not so sure about it now. It looks nice. Non stick? Not so much as advertised. Eggs do stick to it, even with butter. Eggs don't stick on our old cast iron-ware or old worn out non-stick ware. We don't go out to eat much as we are always disappointed because we can make better, healthier food at home.
