Another nice thing is you can really crank the heat if you need to. Not advisable with non-stick.

I'm guessing the addition of copper/aluminum is for more even heat distribution/conduction.

Thats what I have heard I guess..........

When I cook ground burger, do I still need to use some oil even after I let my pan preheat?

I'm just tired of our flimsey chipped teflon crap.
