The non-stick coating works very well and held up for over a year, but the bottom warped slightly so that it would not sit flat on the burner anymore. Then it cooked very unevenly. I will say that the company honored the warranty without any hassle and sent a new one, but I'm still not a fan of these handles. It is very tricky to pour/scrape food out of the pan while holding onto only one handle. I feel like I need three hands.
