Can this pan cook omelets or fried eggs without sticking? Heard is was better to buy a non stick for eggs.

Stainless steel (SS) is very different than other cook surfaces. I usually use my cast iron pan for eggs but have since learned that SS can be used with eggs IF you wait 'til the oil in the SS pan is shimmering hot before you put your eggs in, THEN it will fry without sticking. Bit of a learning curve.

Sorry I can't help. I don't think we have fried an egg in this pan because we have a really good non-stick pan that we regularly use for this purpose. But, I can tell you that this is my number one pan for virtually everything else I do on a stove top. It made me an All-Clad devotee.

My All-Clad stays in the closet. I was very disappointed in this nearly $100.00 pan. I only use cast-iron skillets that are non-stick after 30-100 years of use. Lodge makes carbon steel pans that ,once seasoned, offer good non-stick surfaces. You treat them just like cast-iron. I have 40 year old Revereware that works much better than this All Clad. Sorry, but this pan did not work for me and I wish I had my money back. I haven't used non-stick pans for years as any non-stick surface will wear. If I was going to get one, it would be the one that America's test kitchen recommends, a Wear-Ever.

This pan is very good for many applications,but I would go with a non-stick skillet for eggs. I highly recommend the T-fal Professional Non-Stick Fry Pan, 12.5 inches for eggs as well as for any cooking where a non-stick surface is required.

Like Teflon-coated pans, ceramic coated ones should not be used above medium heat. They are great for cooking egg and other "delicate" dishes using low to medium-low heat. To cook meats where higher heats are desired, I would recommend going back to your iron skillet. Higher heats will rapidly degrade the coating's non-stick properties. We have a ceramic pan of a different manufacturer that is several years old. The surface still feels smooth like the day we bought it, but there is no temperature low enough to keep eggs from sticking and sticking hard. Kind of ruins the omelet!

The pan has ridges - to score steak or chops, so it would not be appropriate for eggs. You'd need a flat or omelet pan for that.

Used my non stick twice and have had no problems with sticking. You do have to spray cooking oil

The entire surface is none stick.......just wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Without a doubt the Cuisinart CBO is one of the BEST and MOST USED items in my kitchen. Makes the best omelet as it cooks from both top and bottom........... even eggs do not stick.

No, it isn't nonstick. I greased & put flour in it. I used it to bake my batter in to make cake pops. I didn't have a problem of my cake sticking to the pan .

Generally speaking the sticking is not a problem. It's not a non stick coating but the pans are so well made that if you prepare them and sear properly, the clean up shouldn't be bad at all. However I've found that eggs always stick to a certain degree in anything but a non-stick coating.

I have a nice set of (non All-Clad) stainless-steel pots and pans but when it comes to eggs, I strictly use non-stick. It is just much easier and saves time.

Yes. You want to use a little butter or some type of oil. Make sure you use low-to-medium heat, and just the right amount of heat so that the eggs cook but not so much that it will scorch the eggs. You may have to play around with the heat settings to find out the right amount for your stove and this pan.

Practice and oil. Do not expect stainless steel cookware cook easily like nonstick . I can make good omelette, maybe 80% of time only. Have not tried crepes yet.

Technically yes because it can be put in the oven but I wouldn't recommend using this pan to cook eggs. I've tried it once and it was a disaster. Most of the egg stuck to the pan even though I used olive oil. This pan is great for making steak though which is the main reason I purchased it.

I haven't had a problem with the non-stick surface. I do not know what PFOA is? This pan works great for me when making omeletts.

Never, ever use anything metal on non stick. A fork is liable to scratch the surface and many other abrasives can too. This is a great tool to use for a flat top or skillet.

Right. Food will stick to a pan that is not hot enough. If you are cooking with low heat for some food/health philosophy reason, get non-stick pans. If you are just unsure how to heat the pan properly for cooking, watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMW74sHyljg

PurpleDragon, eggs won't stick when frying if you spray first with a cooking spray that contains lethicin. I do that, put the eggs in, then add butter for flavor. Doesn't work when scrambling, though. America's Test Kitchen loves stainless but also has some nonsticks on hand for such occasions.

Hi Dorothy, sorry for the delayed response. I have not used it for those purposes but top chefs say that stainless steel is the only way to cook things like that. I am not sure about the "stick" factor but would guess they would come out pretty perfect because of the the even heat it gives off. I would think if you coat it with some oil it would make fantastic omelets. I need to try that. Wish I had better information for you. Hope it helps!

depends on what you are cooking. certain things like veggies or bacon can cook in their own juices, no additional oil needed.when I make fried eggs I use olive oil that I put in a spray (search for Misto sprayer) and just lightly coat the bottom of the pan to get that fried texture on the egg. I can cook without it but the egg looks funny flat and shiny, almost rubbery. The nonstick coating on this outperforms all the other pans I have had, but then again I really baby this set. Stray away from metal utensils that can scrape and damage it, stick to wooden or plastic/rubber. Cleanup is a breeze with just the rough side of a dish sponge and some dawn.
