OXO Nonstick 12" Frying Pan Skillet

We bought this pan as an upgrade to the cheaper nonstick pans we have been using. Those pans typically last a year or so and cost $25. This time we thought lets get something nicer that will last. Well this pan lasted a few weeks and cost 4x as much. After cleaning it per the instructions (mild detergent and soft sponge) we tried cooking some scrambled eggs, using coconut oil and they stuck. So we cleaned it again and tried again, this time with peanut oil and more of it. They still stuck. Fried rice, stuck. Pesto pasta, sticky mess. Pan fried vegetables, sticky burnt on crust. Basically anything we tried stuck. None of this was an issue with our older cheaper nonstick pans. So I tried using more oil, letting the oil get hotter before putting anything in the pan, everything still stuck. Basically the only way to get things not to stick was to use an excessive amount of oil, defeating the purpose of a nonstick pan. Within weeks the coating started to deteriorate making it impossible to clean without anything abrasive, which you are not supposed to do. Finally this morning, after less than 90 days, I threw the pan in the trash. $100 wasted. To be honest, I’ll never buy anything like this from Amazon again. At Costco I could have taken it back and gotten my money back. With Amazon there is little to no support after the return window is closed.
