Infinity Collection / Frying Pan

I've been using it for a year and still love it. Thinking about getting a second one to replace my secondary pan that's a different brand and not as nice, now that I know this stands the test of time. This heats evenly and keeps my food from sticking. Doesn't scratch easily either.UPDATE:Purchased this in 2016 and left the above review a year later in 2017. I purchased a second one of the same thing in 2019. It is currently 2022.I loved my first pan and after a year it was still in great condition, as I reviewed above, but in early 2019 (2.5 years after purchase) it suddenly started losing its nonstick abilities and the cooking surface gradually turned black-ish. I cooked with and hand-washed that pan once or twice daily as it was my primary pan and we cook all meals at home.I was disappointed that it had worn out, but it had lasted me a good 2.5 years of daily use, which I considered worth the cost I had paid. I had liked it so much that instead of replacing it with something else, I purchased another one of the same thing (2019). I have been using that second pan once or twice daily since (three years) and it's still in great condition. Very recently I've noticed the bottom of the pan has a slight brown tint to it, but it's still plenty nonstick and seems to be lasting longer than my first pan.I attribute the second's longevity to two changes I made in my use of them. About the time I needed to replace my first pan I learned that nonstick frying pans are damaged by high heat and by immersing the pan in cold water while it's still hot. So with this second pan I no longer use a temperature above medium-high (this is not the pan to use for searing meat, for example). Medium-high or lower temperatures are fine for most home cooking, so this doesn't bother me.I also no longer fill the hot pan with tap water immediately after removing from heat (which I was doing to soak any gunk left behind to make it easier to clean later). Most things don't leave gunk behind anyway because it's nonstick, but if I cook multiple rounds of meat in one pan, for example, sometimes the juices left behind by the first batch become stubborn as they continue to cook throughout the following batches. I've learned that if I wait for the pan to cool naturally, anything that has been left behind wipes out easily with a paper towel, or washes off with a dish sponge. No soaking required now that I'm caring for the nonstick pan properly!I suspect that those who complained about this pan being ruined after a year either used too high of a heat or doused the hot pan with cold water. Please don't do this to your nonstick pans! Any failure then is not a result of the product but of these poor practices.Nearly six years after my first purchase I am still very pleased with this product. I like the size of it and its thick, heavy bottom for even heating. If my current pan wears out eventually, I'm confident I'll get another one of the same thing. I'm a very happy customer!
