The Circulon - 10-Inch ScratchDefense Nonstick Frying Pan really is nonstick. I've made a couple of things on here ranging from frozen veggies to a nice prime steak to just steaming up a couple of dumplings. All the results were better than the next. For some pork belly there was no oil involved and they didn't stick to the pan at all when it was time to flip over. Cleaning was such a breeze just some water and soap. This little pan even heated up very quickly. Love it!
