First to address comments about food sticking to the pan....the pan should be seasoned prior to first use by rubbing a little cooking oil into it and leaving it on, plus you always need a small amount of oil or butter when frying something, never a dry pan. When using it, you get better results at lower heat. The pan is designed to cook food equally as fast at a lower heat setting. Cooking on higher heat will cause food to stick.I love how evenly it cooks, no hot spots. It is also a breeze to wash. It's the best frying pan I've ever owned.
