The worst pan ever [Posted on 2008-12-25]
I believe that Amazon should remove this item from its site. This item has more than 100 negative comments. In addition, Amazon should have negative five stars for poor merchandise like this piece of worthless metal. This is the worst pan I ever use. It sticks to all kind of food, ruins my meals and wastes my time preparing the food. I tossed it in the trash where it belongs.
Well worth the money and then some [Posted on 2008-12-27]
I use non-stick hard-anodized cookware, but purchased this pan when it was featured as a Gold Box item. Even though I already have two 12-inch pans, I thought the shape of this pan would make a reasonable substitute for a wok. I first attempted to make fried rice with this pan. I added some butter to the pan and made sure it was nicely coated, but my eggs stuck the minute they came in contact with the pan. That made everything else stick and I had to give up and use one of my non-stick pans. I was disappointed but I was later surprised that the stuck on foods released from the pan as easily as my non-stick ones. I tried this pan a few days ago when I made orange chicken, broccoli stir fry and fried rice again. This time, I had a completely different result -- granted, I cooked the eggs separately in a skillet -- nothing stuck, the food cooked wonderfully, and, once again, clean-up was just as easy as my other pans. This pan is much lighter than my other hard-anodized pans, so now that I'm familiar with it, I will definitely be using this as one of my go-to pans.

I just want to re-confirm the issues that other people have had with this pan. It is of very poor quality: Every stir fry that I have tried (potatoes, garlic, ginger, eggplant) stuck to the bottom of the pan. It is easy enough to clean if I soak it in water for a while, but that doesn't serve the purpose. The other thing I noticed is that the pan changed color when I added some turmeric to the vegetables. No other pan I have ever used till date has had that problem. I also wanted to mention that the lid has a very thin coating of paint, and requires very careful maintenance.
Overall, I am not happy with the quality of this product. I have purchased better pans from Amazon.

good price ($20 got it on sale) but it sticks!! [Posted on 2008-12-29]
as mentioned in the title, i bought it when it was on sale, very good price for this brand. when i received it, it was shaallower than i thought, doesn't matter, however, it seems u need to put a lot of oil otherwise, it sticks quite a lot, cleaning seems ok, but still quite annoying as u couldn't only use it for one dish and then soak in the water and clean it the next day...i won't recommend to friends...
