This pan makes the absolute best 1-egg omelets and crepes out of any other pan I have ever used. The low skirt makes flipping easy. A few things to remember when using this pan; 1-Heat well before use, coat with fat. You want to heat it for abut 5 minutes a little less then medium (on electric) before coating with butter. If the butter melts quick without browning, the pan is properly preheated. Spread the fat and add the well beat eggs or crepe batter. Swirl to spread evenly. PRACTICE FLIPPING. every chance you get. Two things will make you look like a total kitchen stud, one is a perfect souffle, the other is flipping a crepe/omelet. Its all in the wrist.
2Treat this pan like cast iron. Those cast iron aficionados know what I mean. Never use soap. Dry immediately. Oil after dried. Everything in your life needs maintenance, your car, your pet, your house, your cookware is no different. With proper care, this is just as non-stick as Teflon, only this wont kill your parakeet and eventually give you cancer. Also very good for searing meaty fish and rare steak.
Bottom line is, this is a fantastic piece of cookware, not only for this price point, but for ANY price point. You just have to know how to use it. Dont be lame and buy a Chinese made Teflon pan for your omelets, be super-cool and buy a French-made blue-steel pan. Look like a pro. Cook like a pro.
