A friend gave us one for Christmas last year. I hate the stupid thing. I find eggs cooked in them to be quite 'rubbery' for lack of a better term. I prefer my T-fal teflon pan even though it's supposed to be no good for you. Oh well. In both I generally cook w/butter - a small amount but butter nonetheless. Rarely do I use oil of any sort. Otherwise I use our steel or aluminum pans. DH likes the red copper but he has strict orders not to cook any food I'm eating in them.
