I've had the pan for roughly 3 months. When it arrived, it had a tiny ding in the surface. I figured, no big deal, and used it. It met my expectations for that time period. However, either my parents melted plastic on it, or when I cooked frozen New York Bakery Texas Toast on it, it left a permanent residue. I washed it, I scrubbed it, I ran it through the dishwasher and scrubbed it again, and nothing got that residue off there. While I'm not ever going to buy and destroy another pan just to test if the texas toast did it, I would recommend not cooking that product on the pan, just to be safe - it definitely was the last thing I cooked on it before the residue stuck to the pan. It might have been the ingredients, or it might have been that I was cooking them from a frozen state, or both. Be aware that at least one product will ruin this pan, and be careful when cooking different products on it. Still, I'm getting another one, as most of what I eat had no problems with this pan, it's half the price of the previous pan I had, and it's physically lighter, which is a plus for my spinal problems. Edit: The second pan didn't last as long as the first, despite not cooking the frozen garlic Texas toast on it. I don't know what did it this time, either. It's supposed to be NON-STICK, period. It's not. The worst part is, since I don't know what's sticking to it, nor why, now I have to worry about eating something that may be toxic. Do not buy this pan, find something else.
