One review says it cooks everything and never mentions 'sticking'. Another reviewer said for health reasons they love this product but it is sticks ?

It will stick because people tend to make it too hot. The pan holds heat very well. A good olive oil is needed.

I have the pan and I cook on an electric range. The only time I have something stick to the bottom is when it wasn't properly cleaned. The food sticks to food residue left in the pan after washing. If it is properly cleaned, this problem doesn't happen. Also, preheat before adding oil, butter, etc. Fred

It doesn't have a non-stick coating which is why I bought this set. I wanted to avoid a non stick coating that would eventually flake into food. I did not season it. I haven't had a problem with sticking. You must cook no higher than medium heat. Clean up easy with one of those scrubbies.

You have your answer to the initial question. I would add that it is about the best frying pan I have ever used. If used properly, nothing sticks!

Yes, and it cooks great. I wouldn't have any other kind. Does not stick. I know this brand from experience and highly recommend it.

It is not very sticky, but if you let it unattended, it is going to get sticky. It is a better steel. But still, it should not be termed as to a non stick pan. If you are looking for a zero-mess pan, this is not the one. If you are ready to soak it a bit before cleaning and you are not very careless to let the food char, this would be an absolute good buy.

I have had mine for almost a year and nothing sticks as long as I cook on low or medium heat. A couple times my daughter used high heat and things stuck but we soaked the pan for just a few minutes and the mess all rinsed right out. Hope lower heat works for you!

I did have a couple of sticks the first few times I used it, but as you use it, it gets to where it won't stick anymore. Althought it's "seasoned", it's not like that "black" cast iron skillet your mom has. It takes time to get it to "black" which is when it is really good!

Why! We found nothing sticks to the coating. Not even baked on mac and cheese. A quick soak and it washes right out.

No, food doesn't stick to the surface. The texture more closely follows the cast iron core of the pan and cooks very well.

No. I've had to adjust the cooking temperature lower bc these pans cook so well. I rarely have anything stick but if I do a few minutes soak in soapy water or boil a bit of water in the pan before I take it off the burner. I love these pans.

.....that I don't know. I hope you can find out through their internet site. Or a salesperson at many of the places it's sold. There was a learning curve in making sure food doesn't stick (for just the frying pan), but it's healthier than teflon!

It's nice because you can brown/saute things before you start slow cooking them and not dirty another dish. I haven't noticed any excessive sticking, either. There is a "vapor seal" formed from the steam and maybe that has something to do with it. I love mine!

We have never had an issue with sticking. A friend used spray Pam on it one time and caused all sorts of problems. A film residue. We cook with no spray or anything and never have an issue. Our daughter has the same stove and never an issue for her either. Maybe you got one with a bad finish. We use medium heat to cook cakes. Clean up is simple warm soapy water.

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.

I do not have a problem with food sticking. I do not put it in the dishwasher, and wash by hand.

Food will stick to the pan if the heat is too high, just like any other pan. I burned some food and just put baking soda and water in the pan, let it set for awhile, and it washed right out. It washes clean very easy therefore I would say it is reasonably non stick.
