Review title: I wanted to like this pan, but the nonstick coating vanished
Product review: This pan works just great for stir fries, especially on electric stoves. The classic wok doesn't work well on an electric element, and this pan is the right shape and size to make Chinese dishes.However, within a few months, the teflon coating had vanished. The reason seems to be the surface design, which has a series of concentric, raised ridges. The teflon comes off the top of the ridges, maybe because you bump the edges of each ridge as you stir. This happens even with nylon or wooden utensils. The theory behind the circular ridges is that the teflon will be protected in the "valleys" and food that lands in them will release. Unfortunately, this theory didn't take into account the fact that nonstick coatings will flake, especially on an edge.A popular cooking magazine that rates cookware confirmed my observations that the coating on this brand is not durable. Too bad, because otherwise, this is a well-designed stir fry pan.
