I've been through several pans over the past 15 years.  I love to cook breakfast and I use a pan every day.  This pan far exceeds anything I've used in the past.  First, nothing sticks to it.  I love the way it evenly heats across the entire pan, whether is it over the exact middle of the burner or not.  It also doesn't heat too quickly like an aluminum pan, or heat too slowly.  The handle stays cool enough to use without a pad, and it can be used in the oven as well.  My only challenge is that it can't be washed in the dishwasher.  It is worth the effort to hand wash though.  This is an outstanding pan!
