I bought this frypan 3 months ago because I was looking for an alternative to teflon coated pans. My wife and I wanted a healthier way of cooking. My wife wanted to buy a whole set of cookware but I wanted to make sure that the coating would hold up to all of the hype that was in the description. I am still amazed at how new the pan looks after using it and wasing it for these 3 months. I would recommend this set of cookware to anyone who is looking at them.
