We brought our Calphalon aqua shield nonstick technology,home. And of course I washed it right away and used it that evening to make a nice dinner. I was so pleased at how everything just slid off the pan and there was no sticking and everything also cooked it in even heat no hotspots or any problems. I think this is my new favorite pan and will have to start buying one at a time did until I get the whole set I absolutely love this Pam and use it very often
