I absolutely love this pan, which is surprising to me. I have been a non-stick pan user for many years. The only time I tried using a stainless steel pan, the food stuck so badly that I rarely used it. I am trying to get away from pans with non-stick coating due to the toxicity. Even so, I was hesitant about purchasing this pan, but after using it for the past couple of months, I am completely in love with it. I use it for everything I can. It is a solid, well constructed piece of cookware. If I am cooking something that tends to stick, prior to cleaning, I just run hot water in the pan for a few seconds, and all food comes right off. I can say enough good things or recommend this pan highly enough.
