I have been looking for a solid, non stick pan, without any of the nasty chemicals from the traditional nonstick coatings, and had thought I had found it. At first these worked very well, but then after only a month they gradually became less and less non-stick. I thought it was the olive oil I was using so I switched to a higher heat oil - didn't help. I also noticed the bottom of the pan is not flat so the oil automatically flows to the edge of the pan, which is a joke considering everything you put in a pan goes to the middle.
I read and followed the instructions for pan use. Pans only ever saw a cold egg or veggie or meat that had been recently been rinsed, so cold water shock should never have been a problem. If a pan can't handle this use it is useless. We babied these pans, they never entered a dishwasher, and always cooled down before being cleaned.
So, if you are looking for a good non-stick pan, don't waste your time and money with these pans. You can't even fry an egg on these after a few months. I would like to get my money back, but sadly they have failed well outside the return warranty I believe. I am just going to go get some cast iron pans and go through the heat treatment processes. At least then I know I won't have an expensive pan that will fail after a few months.
Disappointing.

So Disappointed
By Cassie S. on March 23, 2020
These pans are absolutely horrible. I've been trying to find an alternative for Calphalon and thought these would be perfect. I did everything right (no cooking spray, etc.) so I don't know what happened. But everything sticks to them - forget trying to cook eggs on them. Or anything else for that matter. Considering the raving reviews, perhaps my were "faulty"? Pretty disappointed, to say the least.

Nonstick wears off quick
By Barb Weno on June 10, 2020
This pan worked great for the first 30 days except that it did arrive warped (oil would move to the sides). We read and followed the care instructions but still after 30 days cannot even cook an egg in it without sticking. We have a ceramic pan of a different brand that still works just fine.

They don’t last
Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2021
When I first got these pans six weeks ago, I loved them. I cut felt circles to protect them when stacked together, never used high heat or metal utensils on them, and hand washed them. Now they have chips in the surface and eggs will stick.
