As good as the most expensive non-stick pans I've owned!
Everything is perfect about this pan! The size is ideal for a grilled cheese or a personal omelette, for example. Nothing -and I mean NOTHING- sticks to this. You have to use it correctly, though. Please, read the instructions BEFORE using it for the first time. And remember that it is HIGHLY recommended to not use it at the highest heat settings. I've been cooking with it for several days now, and I always preheat it at a #6 setting (particularlyfor omelettes), then lower it to #5 or #4, depending on what I'm cooking. Again, NOTHING sticks to it. Plus, cleaning is a breeze. Get one... you'll be glad you did.👍🏻🤩

A substantial, high-function product that will serve you for years to come.
I have a full array of tri-ply pots and pans but have been returning to teflon cookware due to my excellent experiences with TECHEF's products - their even heat distribution and ease of cleaning are unmatched. I had previously purchased two 12" TECHEF teflon frying pans with great experiences but sometimes they were a bit large for the preparation of smaller portions. I compared Amazon's current offerings and found many great competitors with excellent product qualities to consider, but none were the combination of all qualities that TECHEF's frying pans are.This pan is dishwasher safe, uses a solid feeling riveted metal handle, and has incredible non-stick coating. Most importantly, the TECHEF Onyx collection (and really their entire product line from personal experience) have a substantial feel to them, with this 8-inch frying pan weighing in at 1 pound 5 ounces. The handle is metal (not plastic), riveted onto the body. The underside conducts heat evenly and rapidly from my gas burners. I've found TECHEF's teflon coating to be unmatched with extremely easy cleanup after having had some time to cool post-cooking.I have no criticisms of this pan but if I was pressed to find fault perhaps inclusion of a lid would have been nice or a contoured pour on the side. I do have plenty of lids that work with this fine piece of cookware.You'll be able to tell from my quick photos that this is a quality product with a contemporary designed yet highly functional. It's my suggestion that you overlook the similar products in the sub-$20 range because while they may be adequate, they won't offer the lifespan of use or refinement of TECHEF's products. All things considered, I am extremely happy with my purchase and plan for more in the very near future.

I love this pan. I've never been let down by any of the Onyx pans from this Techef brand
I have several of the pans from this collection. When i saw this one i JUMPED on it. I love making seafood Paella and i thought that this pan would be perfect for that. Turns out i was right. This is why:Pros:** Non stick - When making paella you never want the rice to be mushy. What you do want is for the rice to caramelize and roast a little (socarrat) on the bottom. The nonstick coating on this pan is perfect because it lets it caramelize but it also releases easily. No scrubbing or scouring needed when it comes time to clean up.** Depth - This pan is just shallow enough to make the rice cook evenly. The depth also produces an intense and evenly distributed flavor.** Handles - The double handles make this pan easy to handle while cooking. I'm able to hold the pan with two hands while moving it to the table. It makes it more stable and safer. I also like the fact that the handles stay cool even after cooking for a while.** Lid - Even though i don't use the lid while cooking paella, It does come in handy after serving. I can put the lid on to keep it warm or keep flies off when eating outdoors. It's sturdy and feels really well made.** Easy to clean - The teflon makes it a breeze when cleaning. I can literally just wipe it with a paper towel and it looks good as new. A little bit of soapy water and a rinse and you're done.** Versatile - Even though i mainly use it for making paella, i also use it for much more. It's awesome for making pancakes, eggs, grilled cheese... you get the idea. :)Cons:Traditionally you're supposed to make paella over an open flame. There's no way I'm ever going to use it that way. I'm sure that this pan can take it but it's way too pretty to put it through that. I strictly have to use it on my stove.Verdict:I love this pan. I've never been let down by any of the Onyx pans from this Techef brand. The all look so nice and are way more expensive looking than they are. They look high end and professional. Keep up the good work Techef.

love it
its bigger than expected but that's a plus. Its around 8" by 8" not including handle. I'll need another smaller one for making singe person omelets if they sell them. Its sturdy. Very satisfied.
