As 3 others have said, you can cook eggs very easily in this pan, especially if you follow this little tip: place the raw egg in a bowl of warm (not hot, warm) water for 2-3 minutes before breaking them open, you wont even need any sort of oil. However do be mindful of your utensils and cleaning implements.

I've only used it for scrambled eggs so far and it worked great. No sticking at all.

so far so good... I cook eggs about twice a week and cleanup is pretty easy. I use canola oil or something similar. I am very careful not to scratch the pan and I don't subject it to extreme temperatures.

I use it often. It is a great pan. There is one thing... you need to clean the corners very well to keep the buildup out. I am happy with it and can recommend it.

Yes in my opinion it makes good poached eggs.you just need to put the right amount of water. Use the measuring cup that the unit comes with if you want one egg fill the cup to soft and two eggs to medium.

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.

I would say it is. When cooking eggs just this morning it slid right around when I picked it up. Didn't even need a spatula to flip it. And when I was done you couldn't even tell I had used the pan was so clean.

I have the 8" and it's about as heavy as I want. I love the pan and use it almost totally for 2 eggs in the morning. I did find that it really heats up HOT so you have to watch things and turn it way down. I do wipe a tiny bit of butter on the pan daily...don't know if it's necessary.I am in the country and only have propane so natural gas would also be fine.

Eggs love to stick to things, especially hot metal surfaces. In all honesty I love this cookware set but in some cases there is no beating a good non-stick skillet. That's why I always have a 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch non-stick skillet on hand and ready to go. The only down side is that a non-stick skillet loses it's non-stick abilities after so many uses but really $10 every few years is cheap enough to just buy a new one when needed.

It is not nonstick. Most foods cook well but you do need oil, but eggs aren't something you want to use in this pan. If things do stick, when the pan is cool then put some water in it and let sit for a bit and it cleans up good. The pan is an excellent heat conductor and you don't need use high heat at all. I love the high sides.

Yes. Just bring the water to a boil, turn heat down a bit, drop in the egg and put the cover back on. It'll keep cooking until you take it out. Three to five minutes should do it depending upon your definition of "well done". If this item were aluminum the timing would be somewhat variable, but it's solid stainless steel--even heavy for its size. My wife sees me put it on a half of English muffin, with perhaps a small piece of cheddar under, and says, "Another perfect egg?" And I smile.

Agree with C. Cruz. I believe it's a quality pan. Obviously, good to make a panini, but I like it for burgers when I can't get outside to grill.

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.

I'm sorry. I bought it as a gift for my daughter, so it isn't here with me. I did use it at her apartment, and I can say it's big (so it can get heavy, but the two handles makes it easy to lift), and it works well. You don't need dangerous non-stick coatings - the tri-ply was great even for pancakes. (Follow the directions for heating.)

I usually use oil or butter but I did notice that once the egg has absorbed the oil and the pan appears dry it doesn't stick at all. I am going to buy more of these pans because they are the best I have seen as far as not sticking.

I've had mine for a year and I use it at least once a week. If you take good care of it...it will last a good long time I think. Mine is still like new and is one of my favorite pans.

I've made homemade "Egg McMuffins" using this pan for baking the eggs like another customer. Been using it for about 2 months now, and have really been impressed with the quality. My only reservation regarding cookies with this pan is that you'd only be able to get 6 out... regular cookies sheets or stones would allow you at least a dozen depending on the size. I always try to consider my time invested when I'm cooking or baking. Hope that helps!

Yes. I love this pan. I've only had a few months but it's holding up just fine.

It's NOT a TYPICAL omelet pan ... thats ALL the difference, this works as it`s being designed, to provide fine egg Roll's of a quite thin layer of scrambled egg's that is to be filled with several or various different fillings. To myself and many other satisfied customers it's GREAT and YES very different idea of omelets in size, texture, presentation, flavor and specially easy & fast to do and serve. HIGLY RECOMMENDED ...
