Jessica,
I owned a scanpan about 5-7 years ago. I bought it to go from stove
top to oven. It did that, but I didn't find it to be very non-stick,
even though I was cooking things like b**f stew etc. in it back then. I
finally gave it to Salvation Army. It also seemed expensive to me, like
$100 for a maybe 6 QT. covered pan, for something that didn't perform.
Hope you have better luck. Maybe they've changed the way they make them
now.
