I was in dire need of a new omelette pan, and this one fit the bill. I am not normally a fan of nonstick cookware, that stuff is not good for you when it starts to flake. Supposedly this one will never flake or chip even with metal utensils and the nonstick material is free of PFOA, PFAS, cadmium, and lead, which makes me feel more comfortable using it. It feels like a nice heavy weight, not a cheap nonstick pan that doesn't distribute the heat very well, creating that burn spot in the bottom.
