All Calphalon pans are so worth the price! All of their non-stick pans work so great, there is no need for any oil or sprays to keep items from sticking. If they're taken care of correctly, you shouldn't ever have an issue! and it being dishwasher safe is the biggest plus! I've used it on bacon, eggs, and chicken and it's been 10 out of 10. The pan itself is also very well made - you can tell just by looking at it, but picking it up, you can feel the weight and durability of the materials.
