A great little pan
The angle of the sides makes the cooking surface smaller than most other pans so size up on this pan. I got the 8" skillet which is enough for a couple eggs or a salmon filet.
Once I received it, I scrubbed the pan to remove the coating sprayed on for storage. It took some elbow grease but after I scrubbed off the coating, I began seasoning with potato skins, salt, and canola oil. Adding a few coatings on the stove didn't yield a slick surface at all. Eggs stuck really bad.
I stripped off the seasoning and used flaxseed oil and threw it in the oven instead of on the stove top. The flaxseed oil gave a thinner more even coating than any other oil. And the results were fantastic. The patina went from a dark brown to deep black.
Scrambled eggs slid off without any issue. A ribeye barely fit but seared nicely. My salmon filet had a couple bits stuck to the pan but cleanup was very quick and easy.
Great pan with some prep work if you're up for it. If not, get a Teflon pan and replace it every few years.
