I received this pan as sample to try. I used this pan the day I got it. Nothing sticks to it, not even burned cheese. You can use metal utensils in this pan and it won't scratch. Cleaning this pan is super easy. I really wanted to test this pans durability. I have used it twice a day for the last three weeks and it still has no scratches on it and still looks brand new. I will be purchasing a set of these pans.
