I've been using one of their saucepans and I'm disappointed, maybe this is one that got made on a bad day. Good nonstick should just rinse free of stuff, maybe some light wiping, but I found that oatmeal did stick albeit not too strongly, I didn't wipe it clean with a few strokes of a Dobie, but after a soak everything fell away. Based on my experience with good Teflon and Silverstone I expect better. I have a department store nonstick meatloaf pan that is many years old and is still better than the Tramontina.
