"No oil, no butter, and look at that, they’re coming out pretty good. I mean, it’s pretty clean," ABC News' Becky Worley said while scooping out eggs.

"Oh, yeah, check this out. It slides right off," ABC News' Gio Benitez agreed, sliding fried cheese off the pan.

Company representative Jack Guindi joked it's "the iPhone 7 of pans."
