All of the reviews written about how great this pan is must have written them straight after unboxing. I was also a huge fan - and used this piece daily - until....today. Suddenly it is NOT nonstick. Eggs, even bacon, just fused to the pan. I loved this thing and treated it like gold - followed the included instructions to the letter. I was even going to recommend on my cooking blog. Glad I waited because that would’ve been a spectacular retraction. What a disappointment from a mainstay and supposedly quality brand.
