I have been searching for a nonstick frying pan for a few months. I had already tried out the traditional nonstick pan with teflon coating but wanted to move away from potentially harmful chemicals. It worked well but it didn’t hold up to high heat and scrubbing. I tried the ceramic coated pans next which also works great until the surface scratches from metal utensils or scrubbing. It didn’t last much longer than the teflon pan. I gave a titanium coated pan advertised to specifically be nonstick. Unfortunately, the surface is tough and holds up a lot but despite trying to let the food self separate from the surface, it would stick, even with using oil which it claimed not to need. I ordered the Misen nonstick frying oan and have been extremely happy with its performance and being able to tolerate a good scrub and stay nonstick. I do still add a little oil, but it’s a small amount and doesn’t affect the food other than to add a little flavor. I tried out the 8 inch pan but just ordered the 12 inch version. Looking forward to a long lasting answer to my nonstivk cooking woes!

I bought this pan a year ago to transition away from classic nonstick, and have used it almost every day since. I love that you can use metal tools, and it requires slightly less maintenance than carbon steel or cast iron. It is lightweight, and it worked beautifully for the first few months with little to no maintenance. As the patina layer built up, I found that I have had to condition the pan more frequently (described on the Misen site) but it still works very well! I think the main keys to success with this pan are to never cook above medium heat, condition if the pan looks dull, and use either butter or a high smoke point oil. For the eggs cooked in this video, I used about 1/4 tbsp butter and had no issues. I still reach for my stainless steel and cast iron for searing meats and high temp things, but this pan works for just about everything else! I would recommend the “deeper” newer version though, which I think is a great improvement.
