Can this pan cook omelets or fried eggs without sticking? Heard is was better to buy a non stick for eggs.

I start my skillet on the lowest heat possible when cooking eggs. I either spray the pan first or use oil or butter and make susr bottom is covered evenly. Once the fried egg whites start to turn white, you may turn the heat up a bit. Please remember that this pan is well insulated and cooks best in low to medium heat. It retains the heat evenly throughout its surface.

I would buy the non stick if you plan to cook eggs. And this size is way too big for ccoking eggs. You can cook anything in this pan but you got to learn to cook a little different in all stainless steal.

I used to use good non stick pans like caphalon and then the non stick started flaking off. I haven't tried an omelet as I use an omelet pan that is not all clad. As for eggs like scrambled or fried I use my all clad. It is amazing as things really don't stick. I have never been happier than with this cookware and I have several different brands.

Yes. You want to use a little butter or some type of oil. Make sure you use low-to-medium heat, and just the right amount of heat so that the eggs cook but not so much that it will scorch the eggs. You may have to play around with the heat settings to find out the right amount for your stove and this pan.

Sorry I can't help. I don't think we have fried an egg in this pan because we have a really good non-stick pan that we regularly use for this purpose. But, I can tell you that this is my number one pan for virtually everything else I do on a stove top. It made me an All-Clad devotee.

I suppose if you were frying eggs, and without turning them over this pan would work. It does have ridges so would be tricky with scrambled of over easy. On the other hand if you used a rubber/silicon scraper scrambled would work.

It is perfect for eggs. You can use it dry but the eggs won't just slide off unless you use butter or a spray on cooking spray. Important....you cannot use metal utensils(spatula, spoons, forks, ets). It is a spray on surface. If you rinse it out with a sponge or other non abrasive cloth it is a joy to clean. I avoid the dishwasher just to increase the life of the cookware. If this seems too much for you, a well seasoned cast iron pan never wears out.

I'm sorry--I don't know if it's Teflon, but it definitely is non-stick. However, the pan is not level, so if you pour batter or eggs into it, they all run to the outside. The middle is higher than the edges.

Here is what the packaging says about oil ... -- Nonstick sprays: Do not use ... an invisible buildup will impair the nonstick release system and food will stick in your pan. -- Oil: Oil is not needed ... but if you prefer oil for flavor, olive oil or peanut oil is recommended. Heavy vegetable oils my leave a residue that can affect nonstick performance. Use a low heat when heating up oils. Now that bit about olive oil vs. heavy vegetable oils makes no sense to me as olive oils can be among the heaviest oils. There are many variations of olive oil. I have used a very light application of light oils with no apparent ill effects, but perhaps I haven't been doing so long enough for it to see the ultimate results. I heat the oil first then wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. This leaves some visible oil in the pan. I really don't think the oil is necessary, though. I think the important thing is to have the pan at temperature before putting anything in it so have stopped using oil. I think the only thing the use of oil did for me was to make sure the pan was at temperature! I have ONLY used it for eggs so use a low heat.

Yes, the pan is non-stick (Fluorine Resin coating, i.e. Teflon), however I would suggest putting a little oil in the pan before adding the batter to ease turning the balls.

So far so good for me. I would soak the pan in water and clean the next day. I haven't had any sticking problems. Like any fry pan don't use metal anything in it that would damage the non stick.

I haven't had a problem with the non-stick surface. I do not know what PFOA is? This pan works great for me when making omeletts.

This skillet is the right size for cooking a 3 egg omelette, but make sure that you properly grease this skillet when cooking eggs because it is not a "non-stick" pan!

Not for eggs, I use it to grill chicken and meats. I actually have a similar pan I use for everything. It doesn't stick I love it!

The entire surface is none stick.......just wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Without a doubt the Cuisinart CBO is one of the BEST and MOST USED items in my kitchen. Makes the best omelet as it cooks from both top and bottom........... even eggs do not stick.

No, I haven't had any problem with sticking, but I'm inclined to say that the best non-teflon nonstick pan would be a well-seasoned cast iron one.

No, it is not non stick. But since you heat oil in wok before cooking, things don't stick. I had a non stick wok before this one, and I like this one a whole lot more.

Food will stick to the pan if the heat is too high, just like any other pan. I burned some food and just put baking soda and water in the pan, let it set for awhile, and it washed right out. It washes clean very easy therefore I would say it is reasonably non stick.

I use olive oil and medium to low heat on things that might stick. I do not make eggs in them...they will stick. My son does though and he says it is OK. I use higher heat on anything that will not stick, like sautéed onions, mushrooms and so on. I like these pans for making soup and vegetables.
