The non-stick surface works great and cleans up easy. The handle is a good shape and is easy to grip. I don’t use metal utensils, so I can’t comment on that. Overall this is a great pan, especially for the price.”

Customer Review: “We’ve had these pans for nearly a year now. We were just about to spend a lot on HexClad pans but just couldn’t justify spending hundreds on them. We use these pans at least once if not twice a day. My wife and I both tend to cook things very well so the pans are often a mess. They have held up perfectly! Nothing sticks and they clean up easily. I rarely write reviews but have been meaning to do this for a while as they are a great value.”

Customer Review: “We all have some of these: chipped, scratched pots and pans that wobble on a range because of being WARPED. I’ve had enough with my pans and began research on cookeware sets. I will note here that my current cookware is the high end non-stick, with my fry pans being those bought after watching some fool on TV melt candy in a wrapper in the pan and then wiping it clean. (These pans by the way are only 8 months old and are already WARPED). For new cookware, my ONE main requirement was that they were or would be NON-WARPING. The second requirement was that they be non-stick. After some research I settled on the 14 piece of T-Fal non-stick / non-warp set. Item came well packaged and unpacking the items I was impressed with the feel of each piece: not too heavy or light even with a lid. I also noted the non-stick interior surface and the very nice looking anodized exterior. Very nice touch with the vented lids (an actual hole in the glass) and the FULL insulation of the handles.”

Customer Review: “Excellent quality, nonstick and very easy to clean.”

Customer Review: “Wow. We got a set of pans for Christmas about 5 years ago. Had the 12”, 10” and 8”. The warranty was a lifetime warranty. We have had the 12” replaced at least 3 times. And the coating in the very center of two of the replacements failed. All three pans warped. And, by the way, the pans weigh a ton. The last pan replaced came with a notice that the pans in the set are limited to a 10 year warranty now. So apparently the number of replacements people requested was putting a dent in their profits. I finally broke down and bought a new version of the 12” pan. What a delight, it looks exactly the same as the old pans but much lighter. The heat dissipates quickly cause less chance of warping. The cost less too. I was so pleased, I bought the 10” and the 8” to replace the old ones. The old lids fit the new pans too. Time will tell on the coating, but so far I am very pleased.”

Customer Review: “I’ve had other non-stick pans, but this one is so much better than those, they don’t even belong in the same category. I still use a little olive oil when I cook — habit — but I think that’s not really necessary. Even when the food starts to burn, it doesn’t stick. RE: food starts to burn — this pan cooks so much faster, and at lower heat, that it took some adjustments to my cooking. This pan cooks well with about 2/3rds the amount of heat as my other pans, in about 2/3rds the time. Now that I’ve figured all that out, I hardly ever burn the meat. Cleanup is a breeze. I wipe the pan with a damp paper towel as soon as I put the food on the plate, just to get rid of the leftover oil, sauce, whatever. (Probably not necessary, but I’d rather throw that stuff in the trash than run it down the drain.) When the pan is cool, I set it in the sink, add a few drops of dish liquid, fill it with water, and let it set for a while. I go back later and use a dishcloth or paper towel to rub the surface of the pan with the soapy water, rinse, and it’s done. There’s been no scrubbing necessary. (Maybe if I burned something to a crisp, but I haven’t done that.) I bought the 8-inch skillet for single-person meals (4 oz meat) and the 12-inch skillet for family-sized meals (1 lb. meat). I like them so much that I’ve just ordered the 11-inch flat griddle; I expect it’ll make reheating leftover pizza much easier. These pans are absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend them.”

Customer Review: “Excellent non-stick pan! Got this one for when my OXO 12” was just too big for the job, and this is now my easy-clean-up favorite.”

Customer Review: “This is a solid frying pan that heats evenly and has a great nonstick surface. The lid fits snugly, and I love the heat indicator. Cleanup is simple since I can put it in the dishwasher.”

Customer Review: “I’ve used this pan daily for months. It holds up well, and the nonstick coating is excellent. The heated indicator takes the guesswork out of preheating.”

Customer Review: “I was searching for a small pan for making omelets and eggs. This pan is perfect with its slippery no-stick finish. It’s super easy to clean too.”

Customer Review: “I’m an omelette person and love to cook eggs a lot…almost daily. And I thought I would be nice to add to my omelette pan collection. It works great for omelette and eggs of any type. I think you’ll like it too!”
