I was skeptical once receiving this Calphalon 10 inch nonstick frying pan as it appeared to be just like any other pan I've tried or owned. However, I've made everything I can think of in this pan and the surface is exactly the same as the day I received it. No scratches, burn marks from over usage, nothing! This pan is exactly what everyone needs in their kitchen to make any meal with easy clean-up. An amazing addition to any kitchen!
