Vinaroz Vitoria Series Hard Anodized Fry Pan, 11-Inch

After about nine months of careful light-to-moderate use, the non-stick coating is still fairly non-stick. It gets slightly sticky but not terribly so. I think a teflon pan would have lost its non-stick coat by now, and would have been much more chemically harmful.[UPDATE 3/4/15] - And just like that, right after I post about the longevity of the non-stick coating, the non-stick coating starts to disappear. I can't fry an egg on it anymore without some kind of catastrophic yolk damage. Eggs used to literally slide around the pan with almost no oil. So, for the record, the non-stick coating lasted about ten months of light-to-moderate use. I docked it one star because the descent from impressive to "meh" was pretty damn quick. I still like that it's not Teflon though.

I love this pan, but this is not an induction cooking pan.It does what is says, non stick, easily clean and wash.Too bad, the first time I used the pan, a tiny piece of ceramic coating chip off.I returned it to Amazon and will try a different brand.I did buy a wok (same brand as this pan), it works so far so good and see no ceramic coating chip off for this time being.That wok is good on induction cooktop.

The problem with traditional non-stick pans is that the non-stick wears out after 6-12 months of use, no matter how much you spend. This is why I started looking into ceramic coatings instead of the traditional non-stick. I originally purchased this pan from another on-line company and had to return it due to manufacturing defects. The pan from the other on-line company was very scratched up on the outside, and the non-stick ceramic coating had a big chip on it, then it looks like they just tried to re-coat the ceramic right over the chip. This left a large divot and was very ugly. So, I sent that one back, and decided to purchase the same pan here on Amazon. My new pan is flawless. There are no defects on this one. The pan works well and really is non-stick. I have no idea how long it will last, but I have hopes that it will for much longer than the standard non-stick surfaces on all the other pans out there. I also purchased the 3-Quart sauce pan too, it also is excellent. Now, I wish they made a smaller fry pan and I would also get that. The only reason why I am giving one less star is because I know that this company does have manufacturing & quality control issues, but, at least buying it on amazon means you can get your money back. The other company I had to pay for shipping to send it back and they only got an in-store credit for the hassle.***** Update *****After having the non-stick fry pan now for 3 months I will say it works about the same as when I purchased it. However, the white ceramic coating on the fry pan has stained a bit, and is not as attractive as when I purchased it. Also, I wanted say that the way that these pans conduct heat is much greater than my other pans.

I love this pan. So easy to clean. I was ordering it for broiling, which it only allows up to 350 degrees. I think all broilers are more than that. But as a fry pan it is great.

This is a really nice, heavy bottomed pan. And since there are no PB's, I feel good about cooking at high heat. Cleaning is not a problem as I never put my pots in the DW anyway. I still use wooden utensils though.

This is a very nice pan. A must have for a gas stove. Nothing sticks! And clean up is so easy. Arrived on time, and packaged well. Cook and enjoy!

Amazing pan. Non-stick naturally, easy to clean; I use it practically every day, for all sorts of cooking, even melting cheese.

At first glance this is a sharp looking pan. It is light and has a nice design. I like the look of the white ceramic coating, and there were not many ceramic on Analon to choose from.However, when I unboxed it I noticed a raised pattern in the inside of the pan that looked wrong. I turned the pan over and saw that this raised area on the interior is caused by the stamping of the logo and other words on the bottom of the pan. This seems wrong to me. I don't think words stamped on the bottom of a pan should push up on the interior ceramic coating, creating an irregular raised area. I am guessing this area will wear out faster than the rest of the interior.I don't know if this is how they all look from this manufacturer or if this one was a mistake.
