As promised, this is "More later."
Since receipt of this pan, It's been used several times per week, every week, and I can and do report that it has not disappointed. Over the years, I've used dozens of non-stick pans and all with the same result, eventually. Typically, and commonly, within a year or so of first use, the non-stick finish had either lost, or was noticeably losing, its effectiveness. More often than not, that loss began after the first few months of regular use. Not so this pan, certainly not yet. The pan is well-made, properly weighted, heats evenly, has a flat bottom, pour-over lip, coating both inside and outside, heat-dispersing handle, very easy clean-up, and is overall a satisfying tool in my kitchen. As time goes on, I'll report again should performance begin to deteriorate. For now, though, I can and do recommend this pan that I bought, by the way, instead of the Oxo Pro I first considered. I admit, the description, and the lower price, were persuasive in my decision to purchase this one. More later.Rapidly closing in on a year for this pan in my kitchen and to my most pleasant surprise, it's held up exceedingly well, far better than any other non-stick pan I've used over many years. I take good care of my tools, and this pan, after all, is a tool; hand-washing, no metal utensils, no searing hot temperatures, (SS or cast iron are appropriate for them), and while there are signs of age, cosmetically, on the outside, the inner surfaces are, I'd say, 99.5% as they were when new. Most non-stick pans, regardless of price, don't typically survive a year of frequent use, but this one is still going strong. A very worthwhile investment. By the way, some have reported uncomfortable heat conductance through the handle. I have not experienced that at all, unless said handle is exposed to a heat source, unlikely in this size. Smaller sizes on large burners, well, that's likely. Small pans, though, ought to be heated on small burners. "More later..."Nearly two years since original purchase and, alas, the non-stick surface, well, isn't. It's gradually degraded, as they all do, but lasted months longer than others I've used. Hand washing, never high heat, and seasoning after about six months, delays the degradation, but can't prevent it. I was going to purchase a new one, although the pan itself is in very good condition, (not non-stick anymore), but the price has increased by more than thirty-three per cent. As far as I know, the price of all the constituent elements has gone down, so the increase is unjustified and disappointing. I'll look for an alternative at what I regard as a more fair price.
