I got this after seeing the commercial for it showing food pretty much sliding around on it like glass. The pan definitely does not perform like that in the real world. I have two overall complaints about this pan. First is that you do not get a lot of size for the money. For the price, it should have been larger. Second, while it is nonstick, and that seems to get better after a few uses, I have yet to get it to be as nonstick as you see on TV. I have never had things be they eggs or pancakes just sliding around and right out. It does make good scrambled eggs, and yes they come out easier than on some pans, but they do not just fall right out. You do have to scrape them out a little bit and do have to wipe the pan down to get the remnants off. I mainly just use it for eggs and pancakes and it works fairly well for that. I have not tried other things in it, mainly due to the size.
It is more non-stick than a cast iron pan and does a good job on chicken breasts and things of that ilk, but in the 8" frying pan you do not have much room to cook enough for more than one or two people. And, things like eggs, for example, will definitely stick even if you use butter. That said, if you have reasonable expectations for it, it is a good option although I would be more inclined to look for a set where you can get a little better deal and get the full-size frying pan.
