In other words, its not great if youre looking to sear or stir fry.
Youll also want to avoid metal utensils since they can damage the surface.

I have eaten this way for 4 years and use veggie broth in lieu of oil to cook.
Today was a make it/break it test: hash browns & a veggie patty.
I keep waiting for something to stick.
I cleaned the pan immediately because I want to honor this absolute blessing.
And, while it can be wiped clean, its also safe for use in the dishwasher.

Everything represented by the seller is true and I absolutely use it to cook almost everything!

It’s a great alternative for nonstick and cooks everything a lot better.
I make the best pancakes and french toast on this.. we practically use it for EVERYTHING.
Mainly because it is SO easy to clean.

This literally could be the only skillet I ever need.
Last but not least, reviewers were pleased with the even heat distribution.
A reviewer wrote:I cook whole food plant based, which means no oil.
This is the best pan I’ve ever had.
I use it multiple times per day.
Amazing non stick cooking again and again.
Also the perfect size for family cooking.
I have two silicone wok spatulas and one standard silicone spatula.
