Like others, I bought this pan after the New York Times review came out on alternatives to teflon (the review said that this pan was terrific).My husband and I eat omelets for dinner several nights a week and our teflon pans were starting to lose their nonstick properties.This pan can work well for cooking eggs. The trick, as others have noted, is to preheat the pan on low to medium heat and then to give it a light coat of oil before adding anything to it.The day I received the pan I made a 5-egg omelet and it came out well -- I was easily able to flip the whole thing without it breaking.I've also made over-easy eggs and they have come out well too.I like this pan better than my old teflon ones because it's less delicate, it's dishwasher-safe, and I don't need to worry about the coating losing its effectiveness.Plus, it produces food with a nice surface, which teflon has a hard time doing.It is not quite as nonstick as a teflon pan, but it gets the job done (and is much more nonstick than stainless).I'm pleased with the purchase.
