We have had this 8” inch frying pan for years and have absolutely loved it. It really is durable enough to use with metal utensils. The non-stick works like a dream (like, in real life, it actually works like how they show in the infomercials for those other products that disappoint when they actually arrive at your door). We just bought two more because we love this so much. We added a 9.5” and an 11” to our kitchen, and we are very excited.
