We made sliders on this pan to see how well it works. We did not spray any cooking oil on it knowing that the fat from the sirloin patties would provide enough grease. The patties definitely didn't stick at all and were cooked thoroughly. I liked that while it was hot, you could still grab the handle and the little side handle comfortably. The color is beautiful. Hopefully the bottom does not stain over time. The large size is awesome too, and love the lid it came with.
