Any one had success frying eggs in this pan? I want a really good non stick skillet to make eggs...the lid makes it more versitile.

This is the best non-stick frying pan I have ever used. Nothing sticks and clean-up is very easy.

Yes. My husband says it's the best pan we've had, and I tend to agree. It is extremely durable and long wearing. I'd recommend it to anyone whos wants a long lasting pan.

I Bought this for my wife last Christmas, and we absolutely love it! We fry eggs in it frequently, and nothing sticks to it. Clean up is a breeze!

I've used this skillet many times and I love it. I have not heard of thee pans warping. I do not put any of my pans in the dishwasher. I have never had a pan that warped before.

It does not have a non-stick coating. However, if it is used and kept properly (IE, lots of oil and keep the skillet seasoned), it does not stick as much as normal skillet. I do not have a cast iron version to compare. As far as I know, it should be about the same.

Sometimes. It's more non-stick than a new, pre-seasoned piece of cast iron, but if you decide to use it to fry an egg, you'll wanna use butter or oil or something similar.

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 got a Swiss Diamond 12" skillet as a gift, and I loved it! It stayed flat and never warped, and the non-stick lasted pretty well. I used it so much I wore it out in 2 1/2 years. I want to buy another, but it's $130 so I'll have to save up.

I'm extremely satisfied with my Prime Pacific 4 Cup Egg Poacher. Maybe the poor reviews are because there is just one problem with the pan, but I thinkmay be completely solved: how the pan is not made with Teflon, the eggs sticked if you don't grease the containers with butter or oil. If I could give a hint to the manufacturers of the pan, I would suggest to them to make the pans with Teflon. Nonetheless...I love my pan!

We tried that. It has too much wasted heat surface, but will work. The whole skillet gets hot, not just the bottom. An iron plate, that is fairly even might work as well.

It is certainly not as heavy as the cast iron skillets from decades ago that my grandmother cooked with, but it's still a substantial skillet that I love to use. I also like to serve from it because the design is unique. I recently had a brunch and just served the eggs from the skillet and got comments from friends who thought it looked great.

I have only used to poached an egg. You don't use the little skillet when you hard boil eggs. The part you use to hard boil eggs is plastic.

On the heavier and sturdy side...much nicer than my previous set of non-stick cookware. I love my set! The only complaint that I have had is that the stock pot lid does not fit the large skillet (it is too small and sits on top of the food instead of on top of the pan). Others have said their lids fit fine, so I think I may have gotten a faulty unit or lid.

I don't have any issues with dripping - but I do have an issue with sticking. I used to have non-stick pans so it was a change for me when I purchased them - but I consistently use butter or oil yet have issues with sticking (especially eggs).

I would absolutely by this pan again, I have had it now for a number of months, probably use 3-4 times weekly...rarely with non-stick friendly tools...and it is showing no sign of wear. Recommend highly!

I can only speak to my own experience, but the inside of my skillet was a little rougher than, say, the Lodge LPGI3 Pro Grid Cast Iron Grill/Griddle. However, it still wasn't THAT rough. Just season it and use it a few times, and I would think this would no longer be an issue to complain about. It's a great skillet.

I think I have the same skillet and I use it with no problems. A good pan like the All Clad should radiate the heat all over the pan's surface.

They" make all these 'non-stick' pans look like they are "all that and a bag of chips." Not so. I have been super conscientious in my use of this pan; I don't use high heat, I let it come to temperature, etc. What I have learned is that the hype lasts as you described. I did read somewhere that one should always use a coating before cooking. Are these pans better than less expensive one? Who knows?

We have the classic and use it every morning. Love it for frying bacon and eggs. The pan is heavy, and flat! Follow directions about preheating and also hand washing after the pan cools and the non-stick surface will probably last longer....
