The 1st time we used the pan it worked as seen on TV. The second time my wife used it she cooked back bacon. Well, the non-stick surface in no longer none stick.
My wife keeps the pan separate and does not allow it to hit the sink, even still the bottom has severe scratches on it. We have a glass top stove. The pan looks like a paper thin copper coating over aluminum. There are no scratches on the interior so far (4 uses).
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
