I've owned several Scanpan products. This fry pan, an 8-inch fry pan and a sauce pan. All stick after being used for a while. After I had problems with the first one I talked to the store I bought it from and to Scanpan. They said to use lower heat and don't use cooking sprays. I followed those instructions with the next pan I bought and still had problems. I also tried the "restore" method mentioned in the manual using the steel wool that was included with the pan without any success.When they were new they were great, but once they started sticking, they were worse than a regular pan without a non-stick coating. Plus the sellers won't back them up. I tried to return mine under their "Lifetime" warranty, none of the stores selling them would take them back without talking to the distributor first. The distributor never returned my phone calls. Also a major consumer testing magazine that originally gave these a high rating retracted that rating after getting bad feedback from owners. You can read back issues in your library.
(This review was for another Scanpan product but was combined by Amazon with the 10-1/4" fry pan.)
We got a large sauce pan, 1 small and 1 medium size fry pans.
I was very excited the first time we got our Scanpans. I read about the new technology surrounding this product that supposedly to be non-stick for many years. Now, we only have the big sauce pan left. We have to throw away the 2 frying pans.
To give it some credit, they lasted a couple of years before it started to peel off (actually not peeling off like a teflon. It starts to have some tiny holes on the surface which grows in size as you use it. Then finally when we see the metal base, we got worried that pieces of those non-stick surface gets to our food that we decided it's time to get rid of it). The non-stick properties starts to wear off before it lasted a year.
Pros:
-heavy and thick to distribute heat evenly
-Handles are oven resistant so you can actually use it to cook in the oven
-Well made, great construction. Durable.
Cons:
-Not as non-stick as teflon. And non-stick properties continue to deteriorates as you use it. Approximately a year.
-Not a good value. For the price, it should last much longer.
-Not for induction cooking.

I really liked the idea of non stick that could brown and didnt scratch.And it worked great-for 2 months.Then I noticed little bubbles.I called the company and the surly customer service person said that I would need to ship the pan to them, they would take a look at it and then if they deemed it a manufacturing problem-they would replace it.Of course I had to pay to ship my old pan, the new pan, and a handling charge.Forget it.My cheap nonstick cookware lasted longer than the scan pan.

Well, I did not check the reviews on this cookware before I bought it. I was impressed with the advertising and I bought THE ENTIRE COLLECTION!The saucepans have a few nicks, nothing that bad, but the fry pans did not last past the 2 years.Each fry pan has lost it's nonstick quality. I can still see it around the upper rim, but the inside surfaceof each pan isbald! Now it looks like any other pan that food "sticks" to.
At the price I paid, I feel like I was taken to the cleaners!

My new scanpan is great! Before purchasing this pan I was wondering if there would ever be a real solution for nonstick cooking, but at last, here it is.Teflon, although great for nonstick, has a limited lifespan. Thispan maintains its nonstick ability, yet DOESN'T peel!It cleans easily,I've followed the manufacturers instructions and have never had to scrub.This means carmalized onions, and, the all time sticker, eggs. The flatbottom distributes the heat evenly and works great on my glass top stove.No more need for scorching heats either, I've never had to use high heatsto cook things properly. Simply stated, this is a great pan, get one if youlove to cook.
