I am thoroughly impressed with this pan. First thing I noticed was how heavy and durable it was. While using, I noticed that the handle does not conduct heat. If you touch all the way up to where it meets the pan, it can get hot. But not sure who grabs so close to a hot pan. I also love how non-stick it truly is. All my other pans are non-stick as well, but I always notice my eggs stick if I don’t use enough oil or butter to coat the bottom. This was not the case with this pan and I’m already in love. It was also probably the easiest pan to clean. Before receiving this item I had not heard of this brand. It is quite expensive after further research, but in my opinion, it’s worth it for quality pans. My only regret is not snagging the larger size of this same pan in time, but I may invest in more! Love this pan!
