Does this pan burn because its dark?

No, it doesn't. In fact, I just took a pound cake out of the oven. I absolutely LOVE this pan. I love it so much, I bought another. It is a breeze to clean, too. I don't believe you'll go wrong buying it. Not one bit.

No, the pan is dark because its non-stick but you have to still grease accordingly.

No, not at all. I spray it always with cooking spray and it comes out fantastic.

Yes that the kind I have. I have heavily used the pan for 5 years now and I just started to notice some discoloration in the center, but I would say it has lasted enough. As a rule I never put the heat higher that 7.

Honestly, I just came back from Puerto Rico, and I definitely used it!!! I didn't burn, but did get much darker. It's really up to you.

No, it stays warm but not hot enough to burn, the pan inside is extremely hot, you must use a pot holder to remove the pan, I hope this is the answer you were looking for and please don't hesitate to ask if I might be of any help, good luck!

I find "ALL" pots burn to some degree if the contents are starchy. You will need to stir occasionally to avoid any burning, even though it is non-stick. Even in my slo-cooker starchy foods burn that are in direct contact with the pan bottom. Phil

The pan just out of the box is not shiny stainless steel on the inside cooking surface, but a darker color and appears to be a coating. Did you find a difference from the outside shiny stainless steel to the inside darker textured surface?

No not that I have noticed. It does take a lot of effort to scrub off the burned on food.Not "no-stick" surface!

I guess I am not quite clear. I can turn to the right all the way to dark. That practically burns most things. Or I can turn to the left which will be the oven and you can bake or convention whatever at whatever temp. Mine works great. The writing is light, maybe you didn't see light/med/dark on the right?

Yes the food sticks and burns easily. We tried turning the heat down and it stills has the same problem. So disappointed we bought a different one with a ceramic interior which works really well. I hope this is helpful.

I just turn it on 550 for 15 min when we are done and it burns itself off, no problem! Hope this helps.

No its quality coating no burning or discoloration, the color on the outside is also a nonstick coating, cleans easy and darn it's pretty :-)

Heat pan on low first; when hot add amount of oil needed; add item to be cooked pan should sizzle; you should never need to go above about medium heat due to pans tendency to hold heat; this means for braising, frying, or whatever; black stains sounds like too much heat to me. Also, get some "Bar Keepers Friend" on Amazon for cleaning.

Yes, it does get very hot unless you get a fitted silicone cover for the handle. And it is quite heavy ..the pan. But good quality if you take care of it properly.

My unit paddle frame has also turned darker (almost black) in the middle of the paddle rim, but it still works well. It appears that the plastic in that section gets pretty hot during the time the switch is pressed. So far, not a problem.

Yes, it does. In the middle of this griddle, there is a "round red circle" that turns dark red when it's preheated and ready to go. And, by the way, I REALLY like this griddle a lot. It's so much better than the round one that I previously had; significantly more practical.

Not that I can tell. It blackens up my pots. How I get around that is I take some aluminum foil and wrap the bottom of the pot/pan and when done I throw away the foil.

I do not know what the backdrop is for your question, however if you do not have enough liquid, oil, butter or fat in the pot - food will burn. To answer your question I have never had food burn before as I always had enough liquid or fat in this pot.
