From my experience we have struggled to find a pan that doesnt let food stick, we have owned multiple sets and everytime we cook something is always scorched on the bottom. This pan seems like a godsend. Made my famous chilli the other night in it and i cook my chilly all day, it always ended up scorched to the bottom of every pan we have had. Not this one. My wife appreciates thw color as it goes with our other Brown and Orange Kitchen set. Aesthetically pleasing as well as very usefull!
