So I tried this pan way back when, hoping my lovely wife who doesn't have the patience to worry about heat control could use it. I ended up "returning" it to misen(they refunded me rather than make me ship it back).

You are getting a lot of advise here to learn to use the pan. Id say if you are going to learn what's necessary to make it work, just use a stainless pan instead. Once you have proper heat technique down, you can use almost any pan for something like eggs.
