This pan is really nice! It's been super nonstick so far, and I haven't noticed any scratches yet (though I only use wood and silicon cooking tools). I did notice a slight chemical smell the first time I used it, but I haven't smelled anything similar since then. The pan is fairly light for its size, which I appreciate. The handle does get a bit warm while cooking, but not burning hot. I have not attempted to put it in the oven though, so I can't attest to how the pan holds up through that.
