Strauss Green Cuisine 8 Inch Skillet with Non Stick Ceramic Coating

I've been using these pans, of various sizes, since March of 2011. I have a 10" skillet that I use every day to make eggs; it has no scratches or dents, and the coating is still as good as the day I received it. I purposely refrained from writing this review any sooner, because I have used several non-stickpans whose coating wore out rather rapidly. That has not been my experience with these pans at all.

Almost nothing sticks to it. Every now and then, if I cook the heck out of bacon or a burger, a little bit of something will require a teeny bit of rubbing to loosen it, but that's about it; for the most part, wipe it with a paper towel and it will look like it just came out of the dishwasher. I usually wash it by hand; takes two seconds. I have put it into the dishwasher, and have noticed no ill effects, but I don't know if that would take a toll over time.

I have tried many non-stick Teflon pans. (I won't use Teflon except in an "emergency.") This is the first and only one that is worth the moniker "non-stick," that wears well, cleans easily, and seems to have no real vices. The only negative I have found is that the handles sometimes need tightening. (I intend to replace the screw that holds the handle in place with an allen head so I can tighten it down properly. If it works, I will edit this review to include the size screw and where to get it. Hopefully the manufacturer will do it before me.) The other side of that coin is that, because of the way the handle attaches, the inside of the pan is perfectly smooth, with no protruding rivets or screw heads. In my opinion, this pan deserves to become the standard by which other non-stick pans are judged.

MyCuisina is OK as far as delivery and their customer service, but their packaging is, or at least used to be, pretty amateur. Every pan I have received has nonetheless been in fine shape, but I would not be the least bit surprised if the problem the other reviewer experienced is a result of MyCuisina's poor packaging.

In short, if you're looking for a good non-stick pan that is not Teflon, in my opinion, this is the one you want.

I bought this because I own the wok version of this pan and love it.The wok has performed well for several months without losing its nonstick qualities, however this pan was only nonstick for about 2 weeks. After 2 weeks it is sticking like a cheap regular pan and I literally have to scrub food off of it.I am so disappointed.I don't understand the inconsistency in quality.This is definitely going back.

I received this skillet with two chips in the bottom of the skillet.Looked more like the skilled was not properly coated during production rather then damage. For the amount I paid I expected the ceramic coating to be more substantial.However, after looking at the skillet and feeling the coating it is extremly thin.This is not a $43 skillet but a $15 dollar one.I'm returning mine to Amazon for a refund.I will try the Cuisinart Green Gourmet skillet.
