I received this new Farberware saute pan and have used it a couple of times when cooking. I have to say there is honestly no difference between this pan and high end kitchenware. I also have to say that the pan itself is very nice to look at - the blue is so bold and bright! Nothing I have cooked has stuck to the pan. None of the coating has chipped and - best part - can withstand high heat - we enjoy grilling and this pan can tolerate high grill heat.
