I don't deep fry in my pans. I add the oil and very quickly add the food. It browns but does not stick (I learned that here). If you put the oil in and then heat the pan and then add the food, major sticking to the pan. I haven't noticed the food being extra greasy.

The 7 ply demeyere skillets are very thick and heavy (similar to a cast iron pan) so they are good for searing meat because like cast iron, they hold the heat well.
