I have been a hard core cast iron user for quite a while after years of trying other pans that just got all scratched up after a few uses. I was sure I wouldn't like this pan, but gave it a shot and I have been using it for everything the last few weeks. I will always like my cast iron, but I love how the triple-layer surface is truly nonstick and it is durable enough that you can use metal utensils with it. I have made grilled cheese sandwiches, scrambled eggs, bacon and Sloppy Joe's, so far nothing has stuck to this pan. It has a nice weight to it, not too heavy, but heavy enough it doesn't wobble on my stove. The eggs cooked very evenly and were easy to flip, this would be perfect for omelets. The grilled cheeses were browned perfectly. I have never used this brand before, but after using it I would love to buy the whole set.
