Frying Pans Nonstick with Lid,Hybrid Non Stick 5 Quart Saute pan,PFOA Free Cookware,Stainless Steel skillet,12 inch Deep Saute Pan,Dishwasher&Oven Safe,Works on All Cooktops

Awesome pan. Had to clean it well before use. Gives off dark dust from manufacturing I think. I also seasoned it well by wiping with olive oil and heating in oven at 200 for 30 min. I do that often with all my no stick pans. Pan cooks even and no stick. Instructions say to never use above medium high heat. I usually cook at medium so fine for me. Pan cleaned up easily. Love that there are no rivets on inside to collect bits of food. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Because coated pans chip and scratch. You end up eating the coating.

I have only cooked with it twice but it seems to be working well. It's not quite as non-stick as Teflon, but it is noticeably better than ceramic pans that I have tried. It does also seem to clean up a little easier than ceramic pans, and it's nice that I don't have to worry about scratching it. The pan feels sturdy in the metal feels thick, and it comes with a quality lid. If I have any problems I will update the review but it seems really solid so far, especially for such a low price.

First of all, the pan came packed well and even had its own tool to attach the very sturdy handle to the pan. The second handle on the other side makes it much easier to lift than just using the long one. It has good balance. What I hoped for was a really nice pan that would brown evenly, could be used on the stove top and oven and not end up flaking off like so many pots and pans I purchased over the years. There are specific notes included to season and best use the pan. It would be wise to pay attention to them as they were informative and helps protect the cookware. I especially like the even distribution of heat. The specialized finish on the bottom of the pan and inside seems to be well manufactured and accomplishes the balance heating it advertises. The pork loin I braised in it was fantastic! It easily browned with a little olive oil and worked well on the induction stove. It made a wonderful au jus. We also tried a sausage gravy which could be a real challenge in some pans, as it sticks and requires scrubbing to clean. This pan cooked the sausage, and easily allowed addition of the flour to make the gravy. It captured the flavor and washed right out when I was done. My next plan is for cooking fish without having to fry it. So far this seems to be high quality cookware that does what it says it will. I plan to buy some additional pieces since this one has cooked well and cleaned up so easily. Try it, you will like it. Do take time to read the enclosed instructions on seasoning and using the cookware. It helps it perform as it said it would and hopefully make it last a long time. I'm impressed with this product!

First, I want to say I chose this based on the fact it was a stainless/aluminum combo and was PFAS-free. I have a ceramic top electric stove and ALL of my large aluminum skillets have bowed in the center, making them spin like a top. So far I have tried cooking an over-easy egg without using any butter. That’s a no-go. I had hoped this was similar to a non-stick granite-stone pan and I had even followed the directions to season the skillet first before using. While making the egg, I added just a few shaves of butter and the egg released pretty easily. So, don’t think you can cook without any oil or butter. Last night I made chicken pieces coated with flour in it before adding my creamy sauce ingredients. I had used two tablespoons of olive oil and the entire skillet was filled with chicken pieces. They browned nicely on low, leaving bits of delicious nuggets here and there. Once I removed the chicken and added my liquid ingredients, everything came loose and nothing stuck. I am finding it easier to cook at a lower temp to get the best results. Cleanup was a breeze. Nothing stuck at all. At this point, I’m quite happy with this pan, and I may actually order a few other sizes. It’s also quite lovely. However, I’m a bit disappointed in the rather large dent the lid came with, though packaging was great. It’s not worth me returning it, but since I’m careful with my cookware, it bugs me that it came pre-dented. You will need to install the long handle with the tool they provide. No biggie. The pan is quite heavy and sturdy. The opposite small handle does not get hot while cooking and I used it often since my hands are compromised at my age. The lid is really nicely made aside from the free dent it came with! I will give this four stars, and will change my rating if I discover pluses or minuses along the way. My rating is based upon the free dent and inability to totally go oil-free, though that may be the stainless versus non-stick aluminum compromise.

BEST NON STICK PAN I'VE EVER OWNED!When you get this pan, make sure to season the pan like it says and DO NOT USE HIGH HEAT! This pan gets really hot on medium heat, just have patience to get hot at medium heat. It cooks more evenly than any other pan I've had and for the price it was a bonus to come with a lid. Overall this is a GREAT PAN!

Delivery on time. This pan is very deep and the lid stores upside down in the pan. We cook on an induction cook top and this pan heats and cooks amazing. Cleans up easy and hold the temp perfectly. Great item. Will buy this brand again.

I’ve never owned a hex clad before so I can’t compare the two. But I’ve owned almost every other pan out there at one point in time. I have had this pan for two months and it’s been great. Honestly I think it’s the best pan I’ve ever owned. It’s a great all around pan. I’m not sure if it would last as long as my stainless steel pans would but it’s holding up better than any other non stick pans I’ve used. And it dam near just as good as Teflon without the chemicals. Cleans up nice too. Hard to beat for the money

It is big and heavy well made have a little problem getting it seasoned but I add a little olive oil before I cook in it. It holds a lot of food and use 2 hands to move it. It's a good frying pan and comes with a big lid.
