The first thing I noticed was how heavy and well made this pan is. It also looks really nice too.  I love that it has no chemicals and is safe.  I found that it is true that you only need to use medium and low temps because the pan gets really hot.   It seems to heat up quicker too on my glass stove.  The non stick is fantastic.  I have been handwashing so it will last longer and it is really not a chore at all because nothing has stuck to it yet.  All it needed was a rinse and wipe.  I think this pan should last awhile as long as the directions are followed as far as not overheating it.  Great pan!
