We needed a good deeper pan that was nonstick.
I'm a researcher when I buy. Everything.
After narrowing down to 3 pans - I pulled the trigger on these pans.
It was actually a Christmas present to ourselves ( wife and I).
First, it's packaged well.
It's definitely got a bit of weight to it. The lid fits well and it's nice when cooking sausage or bacon instead of using our grease gaurd.
A few important notes after using:
You'll need more heat than you're probably used to.
I cooked my kids pancakes in it. Typically, I set heat at 4-5. The first pancake took a long time to cook ( see the picture of light colored pancake).
The second pancake I cranked heat to 8.
Much better cooking time and better looking pancake ( I like crispy buttery edges on the pancakes).
Pan heats evenly and lays flat on out glass cook top.
My wife cooked eggs on it. First time...didn't turn out fluffy. Second time...upped the heat and much better eggs.
So note...higher heat needed. You almost have to heat it like a cast iron pan.
Cleaning is great! Rinse and soft sponge and it's clean.
I've asked my wife never put in dishwasher.
Many pans say they're dishwasher safe...I say it's the worse thing to do to pans.
The nonstick is great. Very little butter or oil is needed.
We have high grade stainless, expensive non- stick pans and griddles...this is definitely easy to cook with and much easier to clean.
Oh...the nontoxic coating is a huge plus!
(Blue looks great too!)
