Great pan for searing and holding in the juices
I bought this pan knowing that I would use it on the cook top and the oven, and this pan does not dissapoint. It holds the heat very well and does a fantastic job of searing meat.
Looking for an Alternative to Teflon? Keep Looking.
In order to achieve any sort of non-stick quality, it's necessary to use a lot of oil. Even when using a lot of oil, though, I often wound up with half of my food (e.g. hashbrowns or eggs) stuck to the pan. This pan made me dread cooking.
