Same experience as above - food burned in it and could not be removed. The so-called non-stick coating is anything but. The pan is very light and does not disperse heat very well which granted one expects from a light weight aluminum pan. Folding handle is a very nice touch. In all - Great design, lousy execution.

This is an excellent choice for a fry pan to use while camping. I was a tent camper for many years and suffered with a cheap enameled skillet. This pan is MUCH better. The non-stick surface is great and the folding handle makes storage very easy. Even though my wife and I now have a pop-up camper, we still use this pan all the time.

Highly recommended!

I had high hopes for this little pan but maybe price should have been the clue. Light weight and easy to pack. The attached folding handle worked well and was sturdy enough. To protect the surface I packed mine with an MSR pack Towel.

Out of the gate the pan worked well and was non-stick. But after a very short period began to loose it's non stick properties. I was very careful about not over heating it and cleaning it properly but after one season this pan was done.

I recently bought this and my local department store and I have used this item about 12 times in two separate backpacking trips. It has a folding handle, easily fits inside my backpack and it is sturdy enough for my backpacking trips.

I do not share in the other reviewers experiences as I have not have had and issue with burning food or the pan getting burned and/or food getting stuck to the pan. I have cooked eggs, bacon, hash browns, fish and others and did not have an issue. However uneven heating is expected being made from light aluminum.

I give it 5 stars as it is very inexpensive and does what is supposed to. I would recommend to a friend.

This pan wasn't "non-stick". The food (sausage) stuck to it at medium heat and left a burnt black residue that wouldn't come off. The residue caused the food to taste terrible. This pan is now being stored in a landfill. Don't waste your money!!!

This is my first review at Amazon. I was hoping my first review would be not only positive, but for something I actually purchased through Amazon. Sadly, neither is the case.

I got a knee-jerk reaction when I saw that this product is still being sold. I purchased this item years ago from a brick and mortar store. I thought the design and build quality was great! That all ended during the first use.

My experience parallels all the other negative reviews here. However, not having read those reviews until now, I thought that I had been using the wrong stove, wrong choices in things to cook, wrong heat settings, and wrong oil (didn't depend on the non-stick factor from the beginning). In short, I blamed myself for the pan's total failure to either cook OR clean up. After all, being steel and thicker, it should be superior to typical aluminum equivalents. Plus, it does say 'Coleman', and I have been a user and an advocate of Coleman products since the 60's.

After trying various oils, different stoves, different heat settings and food products, and even being careful to not be distracted while cooking, I'm finally convinced that it wasn't my fault all along.

My last effort was going to be an attempt to use it as a small wok, since 1) it approximates the shape so closely except for the flat bottom, 2) that's the one style of cooking I haven't tried. Even thought of using some sort of stand such as sometimes used for wok cooking. After seeing these other reviews, I'm just going to fight my tendency to horde, be eco-friendly and/or "green" and follow the masses by adding to the land fill.

It's back to cast iron for me.

We see this pan on Amazon while we're searching for a replacement frying pan. We bought this identical pan for a camping trip this weekend and all the negatives mentioned by others are sadly accurate. The food stuck, the eggs were burned and had an odd taste, the "coating" came off, the pan discolored and could NOT be scrubbed clean. We left it in the campground dumpster. We expected so much more from Coleman. Their lantern we bought was terrific. I hate to quote others, but "absolute crap" sure does sum up this frying pan. Look elsewhere... as we unfortunately are having to now.

The non-stick plastic came off with my first sausage patty. I now have an alluminum stick pan. Do not buy it if you really want the non-stick abilities.

This pan is a fine example of JUNK.
I tried to cook an egg on the one we had. That was the end of the pan. Even with a bit of oil the egg never came off the pan.
A big disappointment coming from Coleman.
