Could this pan be used to cook eggs, like scrambled or other kinds or would it be messy or stick?

Yes, it works well. The only problem is it is too small for the huge batches I sometimes cook.

This is a grilling pan. But you can also do the scrambled egg too. This is a non stick pan, it's easy to clean.

It is perfect for eggs. You can use it dry but the eggs won't just slide off unless you use butter or a spray on cooking spray. Important....you cannot use metal utensils(spatula, spoons, forks, ets). It is a spray on surface. If you rinse it out with a sponge or other non abrasive cloth it is a joy to clean. I avoid the dishwasher just to increase the life of the cookware. If this seems too much for you, a well seasoned cast iron pan never wears out.

Not for eggs, I use it to grill chicken and meats. I actually have a similar pan I use for everything. It doesn't stick I love it!

Yes! These pans are not made for cooking eggs. Look at Scanpan non-stick. They are AWESOME!

If you are simply pouring eggs into the ring, then no scratching. But if you are pressing heavily to form pancakes, etc., then maybe.If you have All-Clad non-stick, then no worries - lifetime guarantee.

Yes. I am using it for eggs too. they come out perfect round. My daughter loves them. If you close the lid, you can get the yolk fully cooked, too. I really love this pan. It's so good and the price was so reasonable too. It's on my stove and I use it almost everyday. I use oil spray, and spray just a bit of oil before the egg or pancake batter.

If the pan is hot enough, yes it will. I've not used it for fried eggs, as the ridges make flipping them over challenging. Pancakes hold up better, but you still need to slide your spatula along the ridges, not crosswise into them.

You have to cook in it a lot. I noticed a big difference after a month. Especially with eggs. Don't do scrambled eggs for a. It or you will be spending a lot of time cleaning. But fried eggs with a bit of butter is much easier to clean and get the pan to become non stick. Cleaning is simple just soap and waster. I avoided the dishwasher, because I didn't t want the seasoning to fully come off.

Have tried it both ways and it doesn't matter. The coating in that egg cooker looks like is designed to make the eggs stick regardless what oil, butter or spray is used. Last time I used it I spend over 5 min. to clean it.

Yes! I've used the pan to make brownies, cake and muffins. Just follow the directions on the box and they'll come out delicious!

I don't have any issues with dripping - but I do have an issue with sticking. I used to have non-stick pans so it was a change for me when I purchased them - but I consistently use butter or oil yet have issues with sticking (especially eggs).

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.

Haven't tried scrambled, but I am sure it could do the job. Just whip them into a scrambled state before you pour them in (2 MEDIUM eggs is the capacity--I do 1 full large egg and 2 yolks--so I'll have a heart attack--big deal. I already have cancer, so I'm eating anything I can digest!). I cook grease-free fried eggs every day, and it's great. For medium texture yolk, cook 30 seconds, then 20 seconds. 50 seconds all together cooks it dry. Cook on a napkin or plate to avoid eggs that leak out becoming cooked to your microwave. You'll hear some popping (especially on non-scrambled eggs) but that's just the yolk popping. I think that's why this was invented--to prevent exploding eggs on the ceiling of your microwave. I suspect that scrambling would take about the same cooking time--do some tests--you can tell I have (LOL!) Absolutely NOTHING sticks to this thing--no spray pam required, but I use it for the little bit of flavor it imparts. Finished product comes out EXACTLY the size and shape of a regular slice of bread. It's a pricey item, but well worth the convenience and FUN--buy a couple of them to rotate if there is more than one person in your household.

Not a good idea - the pancakes and eggs would cook unevenly because they are different thicknesses. Plus you will spend a lot of time and effort getting the egg or pancake out of the grooves.The best use for the griddle is for meats and firm vegetables [such as eggplant slices] where you want grill-marks -

I think it would be to messy to use for that. But it is great for eggs and panckaes becuase you can under them easy.

No. Definitely not. In fact, they are kind of like the opposite of non-stick pans. You have to be pretty careful when cooking foods that have a high risk of sticking to things in these pans. If you burn stuff on, it can be a chore to get all the burnt residue off. That being said, I think they're great pans. They heat very quickly and get very, very hot. In my experience they heat much faster, and get much hotter than any non-stick pan that I have seen (and I've seen a lot). They'll give you great control over what you're cooking (much better control than a non-stick pan), and you can cook some more creative things in them, but they are certainly not the pans to be looking for if you just want to make some quick scrambled eggs and have no chance of any egg sticking to the pan and being hard to clean. (All that said, there is one big advantage to cleaning these over cleaning a non-stick pan: you can stick it in the water immediately after using! Even if it's still hot. Doing that to a non-stick pan will destroy it. With these, it's no problem. In fact, being sure to do this is the best way to make sure that you don't end up with any hard-to-remove stains/residue)

I don't think you would be able to properly cook 2 eggs at one time unless you were scrambling them. One egg takes up the whole pan.

No. This is a stainless steel pan. I have not had any problems with food sticking. If foods stick when finished cooking, cool pan and fill with water. Let soak for a while or overnight. Sticky foods remove quickly. Try using no-stick spray when frying eggs. They slip out effortlessly. I, too, love the high sides.

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.
