I've had one of these pans for nearly 4 years, and just came by the product page because I nicked it, and now I want a brand new one. At just $20, it's an incredible bargain! But this pan is much more than just a bargain. In spite of having knicked the nonstick surface, I think that if I hadn't, the pan would last a lifetime. And it is by far my most used piece of cookware.
