Decent quality, at a price only a few coffee's dearer than the Tefal one below.
Friendly tip, do NOT use any coated pans at full heat, it's in the instructions for a reason :)
Couldn't find it listed on Victoria's Basement's eBay page though, yet if you do, it will be cheaper there than in store.
Thanks OP. I've been looking for a dimpled pan to replace an old Masterchef one that's warped a bit.
The description is very evasive on what type of pan this is. Lots of hand waving and mumbling.
What are they hiding?
I'm guessing it is a Teflon finish, but they want you to think it is something magical and unique.
Scanpan are one of the crappiest ones I've tried… Very overrated.
Its Teflon but different process used so it avoids using PFOA in its bonding process.
"different" to whom? Tefal says the same thing.
Teflon uses it, but has never been a source of PFOA for humans. Sounds like dishonest scaremongering for profit.

This like the autism-vaccine "link".
For $79 you can get BOTH 20cm and 26cm pans at Peter's of Kensington

Different range, not comparing apples to apples.
I've tried all the expensive ones and they barely last 2 years. Have been using a $20 IKEA one the last few months and it's still like new…
We have used quite a few, including a scanpan from a about five years ago which were acknowledged as a bad batch, which all eventually flake and crumble. It's easy to say in the instructions not to use a high heat, but the gas flame is hot and if the pan is on the heat for a while the sides will get hot. It's all very nice that you can take them back and get a new one, but is it worth the possible health problems associated with eating those flakes that end up in your food and stomach. We have a good quality stainless steel frypan that we can soak overnight and basically wipes clean with a single wipe. Never ever getting another non-stick anything again. Not worth the risk.
Buy a cast-iron frypan.
When seasoned they are effectively non-stick. We do all our regular frying in a cast-iron frypan. Most superior to a stainless steel frypan and clean up is a breeze. I make it a habit to just wash straight after use and it is then only a qick wipe or brush clean and most times with water only and no-detergent.
Ours is in the bin already. A frying pan which cannot handle heat is useless.
If it can't handle the heat, it should stay out of the kitchen.
Almost all non-stick pans cant handle high heat.
The only one that I know of which can are Woll, but you will need to make sure you use a oil which has a high burning temperature, or else you will bake the oil in and it will be no longer non-stick.
There is nothing magical about any brand. If is is high-temp, it is a ceramic coating.
Ceramic is never as "non stick" as teflon. Teflon (PTFE) is never stable at very high temperatures.
Amazingly, Scanpan seems to be neither.
@Make it so:
You think? What makes you say that? Sounds like a PTFE finish to me. Just off-brand, rather than DuPoint Teflon(tm).
@manic: What I mean is that they are neither non-stick, nor do they handle high heat. I bought a few Scanpan products, mostly because of the hype several years ago. But they all disappointed.
Which tefal?
dearer than the Tefal one below.
