The description fails to note a warning contained on the back of the product's label regarding glass/ceramic cooktops; "Use of high or even medium high heat will damage this pan and your stovetop."

The description states, "The pan's heavyweight construction". Actually the pan is made of very thin, lightweight aluminium. This explains how the pan can be damaged by medium high heat I guess.

Yes, I'm aggravated by the omission and false statement. It might show.

I returned mine.

This has proved to be just what I needed. I have an older Antionette Pope Cookbook (1954)which features a recipe for a fluffy omelet. The recipe requires a divided pan. This pan is ideal for that recipe and works perfectly. The egg poaching insert works well too. I bought this pan specifically for this recipe and couldn't be more pleased. My family loves the omelets the pan (and I)are able to produce. E-mail me and I will share the recipe(...). Then you'll be able to appreciate the beauty of this cookware.

The pan worked as advertised. The metal is thin so be careful about over heating. A thin pan helps when cooking an omelet. A heavy pan will overcook.
Love the flip over design... Well made and works great. Be sure to use wooden tools as not to scratch it...
The added bonus of the egg cooker is very nice. As eggs are the best foods you can eat, I eat a lot of eggs...

I hand wash the pan.

I bought this to replace an omelet pan that was at least 30 years old. The handle finally broke off after decades of service and left me in search of a replacement. I found this, bought it, and have been dissatisfied ever since. It is NOT a heavy duty pan (very thin in fact), NOT coated in durable non-stick material (peeling after perhaps 6-10 uses and very sticky even with butter or cooking spray applied liberally) and certainly doesn't cook evenly (burns by the hinge and remains raw at the outside). The search for a suitable replacement for my trusty old pan continues.

Outstanding omelete pan. Excellent coating prevents sticking; it is easy to 'flip' the top onto the omelet. Enjoyable pan to use.

This pan is cheaply made and everything sticks. I went to QVC and bought a great omelet pan item #K6518 and what a difference! It's not a divided pan but makes great eggs!

This is the worst piece of junk I've ever purchased. It's made from a cheap grade of aluminum and is definitely NOT non-stick. The handle constantly works loose. Tiny pieces of the "non-stick" finish chip off each time I use it (and no, I'm not using metal utinsels and no I'm not scrubbing it with steel wool). I'm really surprised that Nordic Ware would sell such a worthless piece of trash. Do yourself a favor: buy something else.

I think this is a pretty good omelet pan overall. It's easy to use and flip one side onto the other. It takes a little time to get used to what temperature works best for cooking the egg so that it's not runny but after a few tries it gets easier, still tricky at times. The omelets usually turn out very good and haven't had any problems sticking in the pan. I always add a spray of Pam to it first anyway. I like the egg poaching insert too but have yet to give it a try.

The nonstick surface inside this pan started flaking off after a couple of uses. It also burns the eggs. Maybe it's as WhiteElephant said, you can't use it with a glass cooktop. I'm now shopping for a new omelet pan, as this one was a total waste of money.

I was hesitant to buy this pan after reading the reviews, but honestly there are not a lot of options out there for this type of pan, so it was the lesser of all evils! I bought it to replace a very old Mirro pan that had passed down to me by my mother, but now the teflon is peeling off. I am no novice, but this pan was a huge disappointment. The pan heats unevenly, and it sticks no matter how much you coat it with oil or butter. I have always cooked my omelets on very low heat, and even doing that it appears that the nonstick coating is bubbling. I am going to contact Mirro to see if I can find a replacement for the one I have. I like the hinged pan because I can sautee my vegetables in one side and then when the other side with eggs starts to set, I transfer the vegetables to that side, pour in the rest of the egg, and when that sets I close the pan and have a fantastic omelet. Looks like I am back to folding my own!
