It is coated with ceramic. We like it a lot, but we do need to let it heat up before its full non-stick action can be observed. We have a 28-cm (11") and 24-cm (9.5").

I use a cast iron skillet to cook eggs, they never stick.

Will give it another shot once my current frying pans "expire".

My grandma and mom had one frying pan for as long as I can remember and it did not stick, and it was just a regular metal frying pan. The handle did not break off, food did not stick or burn - you bought one once and for life. I, on the other hand, yet to find a frying pan that last me more then two years...

Then crack egg (or other food) into pan.  Egg will not stick.  Really.  I'll post a Youtube video if you don't believe me.
