Preheat and forget oil for eggs that slide smoothly out of the pan. I can't comment on durability however pan appears well constructed. I'm not using any metal utensils that might do damage. We'll see if it is worth the price after more extensive use.

Very nice to cook in

I really like this pan. It works well and it's scratch resistant very durable looks great and very durable. Good size .

I’ve been using this pan for about 6 months now — and it still works GREAT. Food just doesn’t stick. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

They say that people really do read reviews. I agree as I am one of those people. I also write reviews, not for every product, but definitely for those products that warrant a review. Green Pans Valencia series is one such product. I purchased these pans and pots to replace two other sets of non-stick we have. One is an original Emeril Lagasse set from 2004. Shows how good those pans were. The other a Gotham Steel Copper set from 2018, not so good. I felt it was time for a unified looking set and I had just watched America's Test Kitchen review cookware. They're top pick for non-stick was the Green Pan Valencia series. Consumer Reports rated them very highly as well. I had a simple set of Green Pans shortly after they came out on the market in 2013 in the second home we had. Our youngest son has them now, so I was already familiar with the brand. It was the Gotham Stell ones that replaced those pans. But as I noted, they weren't as good as the Green Pans or The Emeril set. So, when Amazon had a sale on the Green Pans, I pulled the trigger.We've had the pans now for a couple of weeks and followed the pre-use instructions. First, they got a light wash. Then, on their first use they were heated on a medium heat for a minute or two before any oil was added. By adding oil, I mean a tablespoon or less. To date they have been wipe out clean after frying. Just like on TV. They are very substantive in the hands, but not heavy. They heat evenly and there is no noted running of liquids or oils to one side or the other showing the pans are flat. They are rated for all types of cooking surfaces, but we have electric and have noted the setting of the stove is a little lower on all burners, indicative of a good thorough heating material. I hope to get a couple of decades out of this set. But I do note, my wife kept a couple of the small 8 inch Emeril pans for eggs.

i am writing this review having used the pan for 1 year and 4 months. After 1 year of use the pan is no longer non-stick. It was touted as the healthiest so I didn't mind spending the money on the most expensive pan on Amazon. I followed the instructions which stated: use silicone utensils, no metal and no spray oils instead use cooking oil straight from the bottle and spread around with a paper towel. I've put up with the nuisance of food sticking for the last 4 months - today was the last straw. Flipping my breakfast egg caused it to half stick and shred into a mess even after oiling the pan up with olive oil. Well folks, here is my time tested review. Do with it what you will...

In fact, I give the pan 5 stars. I subtracted 1 star for the false advertising. The page prominently reports "dishwasher safe". Instructions included with the pan report that to prolong the lifespan, avoid using a dishwasher and instead, clean with a soft sponge. Fine ... I will hand wash with a soft sponge.

Granted, I’ve only cooked eggs in this pan, but it has cleaned so easily! All I use is the soft side of a scrub mommy sponge and dish soap and it comes clean so easily.
