TECHEF - Art Pan Collection Wok/Stir-Fry Pan, Coated 5 times with Teflon Select Non-Stick Coating (PFOA Free) - Made in Korea (12 IN with Lid)

I have had this pan almost 6 years and use it at least twice a week if not more. Nothing sticks to it, it is amazing. I ordered the small skillet for my eggs and love it just as much. After 6 years of constant use, the non-stick finish is wearing a little. Not that food sticks to it much, but a little. It has scratches from someone using a metal spoon :-0 It washes up nicely, it looks worn and a little sad though. I'm going to replace it with the same pan.This is a great length of time for a pan this price. I will keep buying these, wish they had more sizes!

I have owned this pan for a few weeks now and have used it regularly. So far, I am enjoying this pan a lot. The non-stick surface has been working beautifully (even foods with cheese glide right out) and clean up has been easy.The pan is fairly lightweight for its size, but the heat distribution is nice and even. The oil measurement mark is useful.The design of this pan is between a wok and a frying pan. It's not as deep and has a wider base than a true wok. This pan can definitely be used as a wok/stir fry pan, BUT the directions caution against using the pan with high heat. So if you want to stir fry over high heat, this is NOT the pan for you. The high sides and greater depth than a frying pan mean less oil spatters out. The tradeoff is that the flat area on the bottom is a little small, so, for example, you can only brown a few pieces of chicken at a time.I like to use this pan for dishes that start by browning or searing meat and then finish by braising or cooking the meat with a sauce. Using this pan on medium or slightly above medium high heat you can get a nice brown color on your chicken or meat, and because of the non-stick surface the pan deglazes perfectly - nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. I even made a small batch of chili in it last night...being able to brown the meat, drain, and then just dump the other ingredients into the same pan saves on cleanup.I didn't buy a lid, but the glass lid from my previous 12" fry pan fits fine.The directions say that the pan is oven safe to 350 F, but I have not used it in the oven yet. That's a fairly low oven temperature limit, due to the fact that the handle is plastic. It should good for dishes that just need to be finished in the oven, but obviously you can't do high temperature browning or broiling in this pan.The handle stays cool while cooking. Since the pan is big, a helper handle would have been nice - it's pretty heavy when full. However, the handle is long enough that there is enough room to use both hands to carry the pan if needed.I did notice the pinging noise that others have mentioned; so far I have only heard it once when the pan had nearly finished cooling off. It is strange to hear the pan making that sound, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything. It stopped when the pan cooled a little more.TeChef's other pans are available in several colors. However, this pan is only available in the eggplant color. It is a pretty purplish shade, but I would have preferred the option to get it in black to match my other cookware. Hopefully TeChef will make this pan available in more colors in the future.So far I have not seen any scratches or damage, not even fine scratches. As recommended in the directions, I use plastic or silicone utensils and hand wash with a cloth or a non-stick safe sponge. Only time will tell whether the non-stick surface holds up long-term.Update 12/2/2015: I am still very happy with the pan and it is holding up perfectly so far. I've used it in the oven several times at 350 degrees and it worked fine. (Obviously, the handle gets hot if you put the pan in the oven.)

(EDIT: 3 years later, and this pan is still our favorite. After weekly use, it's still holding up just fine -- it almost looks like the day it arrived! Impossible to beat products like this which are well designed and use sturdy, long-lasting materials. We wish everything in life was made even *half* this good. An easy 50-star winner, if we could give that many. Get one or two -- you'll have no regrets! Original review below.)Replacing a favorite, ancient, sturdy wok with today's selection of pans is not easy, which makes successfully filling that simple need a long shot. I'm not prone to raving about cookware, but I'm so happy I fell over this one when doing what seemed like endless research and finding only a parade of seemingly shoddy goods. Frankly, I had no idea how lucky my buying decision for this pan was going to work out: There is no conceivable way I could be any happier with this purchase than I already am. If I could give this pan 20 stars, I'd do it in a flash and never think twice. Specifics? Sure, glad to. First, the pan is heavy-gauge -- sturdy without being an anvil to heft. The coating is a breeze on cooking and on clean-up. (There's even a couple helpful "target" circles in the bottom to help estimate oil additions.) I now use quite a bit less oil and to no detriment or challenge whatever -- a nice bonus. The handle has a good feel to it, neither too mushy and rubbery nor too inflexible in the grip -- just right. A further surprise for me? I had no idea the pan would be such a good looker! (I didn't pick up on the color from the photo in the listing -- my monitor's old.) It comes in a color I imagine might be described as Metallic Plum Haze or some such creation by the marketing gurus. The thing's gorgeous, a real stunner -- and I'm not exaggerating. (Pardon -- I'm not used to raving about cookware!) Having used it for a dozen meals, I'm tempted to get another one, as a hedge on the price, once the manufacturers figure out what a gem they have on their hands and double the price. So, there you have it: Sturdy utility... even heating... super-easy to cook in and clean up after... incredibly good looks... and an astonishingly fine value. Seriously: This is pan perfection. BTW: You're going to want to get the "TeChef - Tempered Glass Lid, 12-Inch" that fits this beauty. It's worth every penny -- wait until you see the small wonder of a help the lid provides, too. (It's "only" a lid, yes -- but one that stands up out of the way, and eliminates the usual lid-juggling act that cooking with minimal counter space makes necessary. Ingenious!) Buy at least one, with that great lid, and settle in for some joy in your cooking!

There are several small scratches at the bottom inside pan after used for three months
