As a dedicated cast iron user, I wasn't sure how much I'd like this pan. While I'm not a convert, I definitely prefer this pan to cast iron for some uses, specifically, eggs. Often, my fried eggs would end up scrambled when I used my favorite cast iron pan, but fried eggs slide around the Circulon freely. I saw some other reviewers had problems with the pan tipping, but I've had no such issues. In fact, I've tried to get this pan to tip when it's on the burner and wasn't able to do so without excessive force. Overall, this is a great little pan and I'm so glad I have it!
