Perfect Nonstick Pan – No Sprays or Oils Needed!
I first tried this pan at my cousin’s house and was blown away by how easy it was to use. I made eggs and they slid right out — no sticking at all and no need for any cooking sprays or oils. After that experience, I had to order one for myself!Now that I have it at home, it’s become my go-to for breakfast. It heats evenly, is super lightweight but still feels sturdy, and cleanup is a breeze — just a quick wipe, and it’s as good as new. The nonstick surface really lives up to the hype. I love that I can cook healthier meals without adding extra fats. Whether you're making eggs, omelets, or even pancakes, everything always comes out perfect.If you’re tired of scrubbing stuck-on food or dealing with cheap pans that need constant oiling, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Nice pan. Works well
Durable, easy to clean and maintain. Nonstick capability is excellent, as long as the heat applied is reasonable and cooking spray is used. The rubber grip has a tendency to want to slip off.

Love this pan
I had a Tramontina pan that was at least 25 years old. It held up extremely well, but the non-stick coating was beginning to show a multitude of little holes. I purchased this new pan because I admired the brand and the fact that they still produce some of their products in the USA. Make sure to review the descriptions carefully, most of their stuff is now imported. This pan is made in the USA.What I like the most is that the quality has gone UP, not down, over the years. I weighed this pan and the old one, and this new one is 102 grams heavier. The metal is noticeably thicker, and given that the old pan never warped or dented, it seems likely that the extra weight is there just for better heating.I especially like the "rivet-less" handle design. The handle is still held on by rivets (more secure than spot welds IMO), but they are rivets formed integrally from the pan metal itself, so there are no rivet heads inside the pan. This really makes clean-up quicker and you don't have to think about minute bits of rotting food being stuck in there.I believe the non-stick coating is thicker, but also softer, than the previous version. One reviewer noted that cooking a chop with bone in it left gouging in the non-stick. I would say this is a definite risk.But for everything else, the coating is fantastic. I've been using this frequently for two months and it looks pristine. A quick sponge and detergent, no pressure or scrubbing needed, and dry it off. Bingo!The images include side by sides to show the added thickness, and also the rivetless design.UPDATE: It's been 10 months and I'm still very happy with the pan. I use it roughly every other day, and the surface is completely intact except for a multitude of very fine superficial scratches. If the light hits it one way these scratches are invisible. If the light hits the other way you can see them quite readily. I cannot feel the scratches when I run my fingers over the surface. I never cook anything with a bone in it, but I use a lot of freshly ground black pepper and silicone utensils. The non-stick quality of the pan does not seem diminished in the least

Beautiful Pan, but large and heavy
I ordered the 12" size and in retrospect I would have been much better off with the 10". The handle of the 12" pan is an additional 11", making the overall length of the pan 23" which was hard for me to fit into my cabinet. Also it weighs 4 lbs making it harder to manage than other nonstick pans. Its really too much for me to maneuver easily with one handCaution about the size aside, this is a beautifully made pan that I have no doubt will last my lifetime. I seasoned it briefly before first use and absolutely nothing sticks to it. Its a real bargain at this price. Just avoid my mistake and don't get a bigger size than you need.

Very large pan works great!
This pan is one of the best pans we have ever had! The non-stick is great and very easy to clean. We ordered the large one and it was bigger than I imagined. We will be getting more sizes.
