I am no chef or cook. I only cook eggs in this pan in the morning, and I have been looking the world over for a decent well made nonstick pan. I bought those green ones you see on tv and they require prepping like wiping oil on the inside and then cooking them until they reach a certain temp. I returned it immediately. Another brand I looked at were the stone pans you see on tv. Mixed reviews there (I did not purchase the stone pans because they were expensive and the reviewers stated that returning these pans were difficult).
The T-Fal Ultimate Hard Anodized pan is solid and well made. It is about 10 inches on the inner dimension even though is it is advertized as 12 inch. This pan is huge however, and holds a lot of eggs.
This pan is truly nonstick. I mean I do not put any butter or spray Pam or silicone spray inside the pan and my eggs always slip right out onto the plate. They are easy to clean. I now do not use butter, oil, or Pam when I cook my eggs. I love this pan. I wished my entire set was T-Fal. I have stainless.
UPDATE: 8/13/13
I wanted to alert consumers something I learned about T-Fal. Make sure you get the brand made in France and not the cheaper model made is Asia. The quality difference is significant but so is the price. So if you are out shopping for these pans and notice the same name and apparent model but significant price differential, check the back of pan and the good ones say made in France. I also purchased the Wok made in France it is simply a beast and awesome for cooking Tyson chicken strips and vegetables! Love T-Fal (with one caveat) Made in France!

I been on the fence about purchasing non stick for the longest due to all the health concerns about peeling and chipped non stick coating...
I researched for many years on non stick pans and were still unsure.
Finally, It came down to a set of four pans at $140 of another brand and T Fal, a stand alone pan at about $30.
I read the review on the other highly praised T Fal non stick pan but I read all the one star reviews regarding the "pop up" or warp issue.
This T Fal model was to address that issue and boy DID it answer it....positively.
We used it last night, no pop up!
Pros.
No lead, no cadmium, no PFOA means it's safe non stick...according to T-Fal.
The non stick coating on this pan is PTFE which according to T Fal is inert.
It's supposedly metal utensil friendly but I wouldn't take that chance. I bought OXO silicone spatula just for this pan.
At 12", The pan's lot bigger than I thought it would be.
However, It's also lot lighter then it looks, so it wasn't at all hard to handle.
It's solidly built with a non slip and comfortable handle. The handle didn't get hot while we're using it.
Cons:
No cons ...yet.
Only thing I can nit pick is that after first real world use, the water's not completely rolling off the non stick surface, but instead beading. When I first got the pan and washed it, the water would just....rolled off the non stick surface and only beaded on the outer surface of the pan.
This can be my winner of 2012 P.O.T.Y. award if it stayed non stick for next five years.
It might get there if i FOLLOW their very important tips of "not using higher then medium heat."
which I had no idea ........seems like a great product,so far.
