My experience has been that the pan works pretty well so long as it is squeaky clean. If I don't hand wash it with hot, soapy water and gently scrub with a sponge using pressure to assure that all films and gunks are gone, stuff will stick to it like cat hair on a wool suit. Some foods cook easily and quickly and never seem to stick (eggs, pancakes, potatoes and most veggies) while others (lean meats, especially) will catch on a bit and leave a sticky residue behind. A spritz of Pam or similar pan release spray helps with these but sometimes they'll still stick. On a scale of zero (worthless) to ten (perfect) I'd give the thing a strong seven.
For comparison and contrast I have a Cuisinart non-stick skillet, too. Nothing sticks to it. Nothing.
