Excellent for frying, saute, and just overall cooking. Don't really need oil or butter if you don't want to since its nonstick. I am happy that metal utensils don't scratch the pan too. My husband is always using metal spoons and forks in my good pans and scratching them up badly. So this pan is useful that he can use and not scratch up my other pans! 
Really good pan though. Cooks good and heats evenly
