Same here. Awesome Pan! I think I paid $90 for mine and the finish is almost as good as the day I bought it years later...

Amazon reviews say it doesn't last that long. What is your experience? Genuinely curious since I'm looking for a new fry pan

I got gifted this pan and haven't been impressed at all. Doesn't cook any better than Tramontina and even using plastic utensils hasn't fully protected the coating. For one opinion, I haven't been impressed at all. It's relatively weighty but its performance had been average.

Thank you for the data point! I'm starting to maybe conclude that carbon steel is the way I should go. I already have all-clad Copper core and it's not good for eggs. I'm trying to master omurice (https://youtu.be/BLIDS27ZJhg) and simply not possible with stainless steel, even after trying to coat it. Tried Calphalon One at my parents and it does work but I'm worried about durability compared to cost (or throwaway $100 pan)

Honestly I just use cheap nonstick for eggs (3 piece $25 Tramontina set from Costco). I have cast iron but it needs more seasoning.

I had the entry level 11" scanpan skillet (with the black plastic handle) for about 6 years and it performed just like nonstick cookware should for the first four years, but then it eventually lost most of it's slick surface from my own negligence - I was using a scotch dish wand that had the harsh green scotch brite layer and never realized how harsh those are. Scanpan talks like you can treat their pans however you want but that is not true, obviously. If I hadn't used that super abrasive dish wand I'd think it would've lasted much longer. This is a very good price and I would buy if I hadn't recently replaced that pan with all clad nonstick (2pc set for 59 bones)

I've had a small one for four years. Use it most weekends for scrambled or fried eggs. That's about all it ever gets used for and it's perfect for that. Cleans up easy and it's still in great shape. Is buy one again, even at $99

Hey your best bet is the tramontina professional fusion. Trust me I went one a hunt like you and found that the master at kuchi kuchi himself uses the same pan. Good luck! Technique is key in making the omurice.

These pans are great for low/medium heat cooking. I usually pour a little water in mine and when it starts to steam/boil I know it's hot enough to cook with.

Cooking at high heat will eventually ruin these pans. The teflon impregnated in the ceramic will burn off. Save the cast iron/stainless steel for high-heat cooking.

Mine just came in. Apparently, Scanpan quit providing a nice velvet bag. Bummer.
