For several reasons it’s the best pan I have ever had. Apart from the obvious environmental merits (the main reason I bought it in the 1st place), it cooks/fries beautifully. Nothing sticks on it. It needs little to no oil, though if you want you can use more oil. I previously gave up on making pancakes for example. They always stuck to other pans I tried, I needed a ton of oil, and the house ended up being covered in smoke. Not with this green beast! No sticking, no smoke, no scrubbing. I don’t like cooking but I really don’t mind as long as I can do it in this stuff, so I ended up buying the whole set of saucepans and the stock pot. They did not disappoint either. Highly recommend!
