I find it ok. I've been using it daily for 3 years now. It is still in a fairly good shape. It is not non-stick so you'd have to soak it before wash if you cook with sticky stuff including eggs. What I like about it the most is its metal is really thick so it holds up heat really well. This makes my chinese dishes more delicious.... I bought it in an outlet mall near Chicago for $120-$130. I can't remember the price exactly.
