does food stick to this pan?

If you use it according to instructions ( preheat pan, medium heat) than food doesn't stick. If you use high heat, it might stick initially. Pan is very easy to clean.

Not if you follow the directions. Although, I find it's best to put some water in it overnight. The next day it comes out beautifully without having to use scrubbers. I also dry it immediately after washing to eliminate water spots. I love my skillet.

I haven't any problems with it, though it's not non-stick. Read somewhere that one good technique is to rub a little oil on the pan, shake in some Kosher salt and rub it in, then oil slightly again. Things sure do not stick with that. They suggested wiping it dry after, rather than washing it, to avoid needing to re-treat, but I'm not so keen on that notion. I really like my Cuisinart cookware.

It's not coated with anything, but I haven't had a problem with food sticking to it or it getting scratched up. It will damage non-stick pans, so be careful.

No, a magnet does not stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried a heavy magnet and it does not adhere. Love this pot, it is a nice size and weight. Clean up is not to difficult.

No. This pot does not have a non-stick coating on the inside. It is smooth, easy-clean, stainless steel. The bottom of this pot has layers for even heating, and I have never had food-sticking problems. Of course, you can always create sticking problems by leaving food in it, having the fire to high, and/or other careless kitchen errors.

I know nothing seems to stick to the interior of the pan. I can't say for sure about the outside as I haven't (luckily) spilled anything on it. It is one great pan for grilling indoors when it's too cold outside to do so.

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

Yes! I've found that most foods stick to the pans reguardless of olive oil or a nonstick spray.

It does according to the Chef's catalog website. Be sure to not let any minimal oil dry or get reheated in the pan as it will form a tough film that can't be removed and is the bain of all nonstick.

Yes, a magnet sticks to this pan,but can be removed with very little effort. Hope this answers your question.

If you know how to cook with S.S. yes it is always remember HOT pan cold cooking fat (butter pam bacon grease...ect.) I have cooked eggs and pancakes on this and no problem at all with sticking

No, but I've found the more I clean my pan (I use Barkeeper's Friend soft liquid cleanser), the less food tends to stick to it even though it doesn't have a non-stick surface.

Well, I just went in the kitchen and stuck a refrigerator magnet on it, and voila! It stuck. Oddly, it did not stick as strongly as it did on the 'fridge, but it did stick. Hope that helps. BTW it is a very good pan.

Yes! Thiis is a stainless steel pan, and for the sake of science & a factual response, I placed a refrigerator magnet on the pan's bottom. It clung successfully :-) I did not an earlier response that claimed "No it doesn't", this is not accurate as I tried it out for you as noted..and indeed the magnet sticks.

No. This is a one piece pan. It is nonstick so I have yet to have anythng stick to the bottom. It comes out perfectly every time. I love it so far.

No everything sticks. The handles actually melt because they're a cheap plastic. I only use the lids now on other pans but even the handles on those are awkward. I really recommend not buying this!

I have this set and placed a magnet on the bottom of the pan, it stays there, I think that means the answer is yes.

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
