Customer Review: “I absolutely love this pan! It is so nice so versatile I’ve cooked everyday with it and everything is perfect! Just remember every time you use it afterwards clean it up dishwashing liquid and warm water and don’t shock it with hot or cold water.”

Customer Review: “Love these set! Color and all.The best set of skillets I ever bought 💕”

Customer Review: “I really like the quality pan this is. It cooks up very nicely. The non-stick is the best. it’s easy to use and easy to clean too. I’ve not seen any warping or chipping. These pans look great and so far cooks wonderfully! Keep up the excellent quality work, Caraway.”

Customer Review: “I have long needed to replace my last everyday egg pan, and after much research, I settled on the Caraway 8″ ceramic mini fry pan. It was pricey, but upon receiving it, I was impressed by the weight and quality of the pan. I have cooked in it several times, and unlike my previous Great Jones Small Fry, it is so non-stick that it barely needs to be cleaned after use. The pan is beautifully designed, weighted well for handling on a stove, and an absolute joy to cook with. I have since also purchased the accompanying lid and am very pleased with it, as well.”

Customer Review: “This Sensarte pan by far the best large skillet I have owned. I am not the best cook… but this pan makes it hard to ruin food. It is truly non-stick, and I have not needed much oil to keep the burning at a bare minimum. I have found that my dishes come out WAY better, and I haven’t gotten any more experienced at cooking, so I credit the product 100%. The pan comes with a glass lid so you can watch the magic happen, and the set is a nice heavy weight. It has been great with heat distribution… I’m a crazy person who checks every part of my meat with a digital thermometer, and can confirm things cook evenly haha. I try very hard to only use silicone cookware to prevent scratches, scrapes and damage. So far, I have had no issues whatsoever. Because of the non-stick quality, clean up is so quick and easy. I have yet to stand at the sink, scrubbing and cursing at stuck on food. I do recommend hand-washing only instead of using the dishwasher to avoid an early demise of your new pan. I’ve had mine for about 2 months now, and even after daily use it cooks just as nicely today as it did on day one. I would 10 out of 10 recommend, and plan to purchase again.”

Customer Review: “I love this Sensarte Nonstick Frying Pan with Lid. It’s so well made and the design is so much better than using a big stock pot for my chili. Both my stock pot and this pan are 5 quarts, both have heavy bottoms, are great designs, and work for making soups and stews in… but I wanted a pot that was wider and lower profile with even heat distribution, and this pan fit the bill. I preferred the nonstick cooking surface over the stockpot. The nonstick surface allowed me to brown my ground beef with my chopped onions at the same time then add my other ingredients to the same pot without having to dirty up several pots and pans. The lid made everything so much easier and saved on cook time. The pan cleaned up easily with mild soap and a dish cloth. The chili came superb with no worries of it sticking or burning, which can happen more easily in the stock pot. I only use silicone and wooden utensils, so I don’t worry about scratching the surface of my nonstick or ceramic coated pans.”

Customer Review: “This 8-inch hybrid stainless steel pan is perfect for quick meals like eggs or small portions. It heats evenly and the nonstick surface makes cooking and cleanup really easy. The pan feels solid and works well on different stovetops. Great value for a compact everyday skillet.”

Customer Review: “An excellent frying pan in terms of both quality and performance. The 8-inch COOKER KING heats evenly, and the non-stick coating works perfectly, preventing food from sticking. It is durable, easy to clean, and highly practical, as it is safe for use in both the oven and the dishwasher. Ideal for everyday use.”

Customer Review: “I gave this pan a double season in the oven over 2 days with plain old Crisco in a can. My first fry was a homemade sausage patty and two over easy eggs. Came out perfect. Don’t rush for perfection. Work for it and you won’t be disappointed. I’ll use this pan more than my mother’s Griswolds. Much lighter and, so far, has given me great results.I always clean with dish soap but season immediately with the fat in the can and medium heat. A quick wipe with a cotton bandana and I’m good to go. Love this pan.”

Customer Review: “Using carbon steel does take more work to keep pans seasoned but it’s a labor of love if you enjoy cooking. The Made-in carbon steel pans are beautiful, well made and provide quick even cooking. I especially like the sturdy handles. Im happy”

Customer Review: “I didn’t pay attention to the actual parts used to put handles together both on lids and pot handles. The process was easy, and hopefully they will stay tight. Overall, product seems strong and made great. Haven’t actually use anything yet.”

Customer Review: “Packaged came arrive on time! The quality, the weight of each stainless steel frying pan felt great. I’m so excited and can’t wait to cook on these bad boys! Definitely worth the price. Only down side there wasn’t no instructions on how to screw the handles and lids, but I figured it out by the picture lol”

Customer Review: “I recently added the DELARLO 6QT non-stick, stainless steel sauté pan to my kitchen arsenal, and it has completely transformed my cooking experience. This sauté pan is an absolute game-changer!First and foremost, the quality of this pan is exceptional. The stainless steel construction feels solid and durable, and it’s clear that this pan is built to last. The non-stick coating is top-notch – I’ve used it for everything from stir-fries to sautés, and nothing sticks to the surface. Cleaning up after cooking has become a breeze, and I appreciate the time I save on scrubbing.The 6-quart size is perfect for cooking larger meals or for when I have guests over. It can comfortably handle a family-sized stir-fry, and the high sides prevent any splattering. The heat distribution is excellent; my food cooks evenly, and I no longer have to worry about hot spots.The ergonomic handle is a small detail, but it makes a big difference in comfort and control while cooking. It stays cool on the stovetop, so there’s no need for oven mitts or pot holders.What truly sets the DELARLO sauté pan apart, though, is its versatility. I can use it on the stovetop, in the oven, or even under the broiler. It’s become my go-to pan for one-pan dishes, and it performs beautifully every time.Overall, the DELARLO 6QT sauté pan has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a reliable workhorse in my kitchen, and I can’t imagine cooking without it. If you’re looking for a high-quality, non-stick sauté pan that delivers exceptional performance, look no further. I highly recommend the DELARLO 6QT sauté pan to anyone who loves to cook – you won’t be disappointed!”

Customer Review: “So far, this chef’s pan has worked very well for me. It is coated in the new non-stick coating that has some small texture that supposedly improves browning and non-stick performance. I can’t tell if that’s true but it seems to be as non-stick as straight teflon which is good with me, and much better than the variety of “non-stick” non-PTFE coatings that definitely stick in any but the most optimal conditions (like using lots of oil). The pan is well made and everything is solid and works properly. It is large enough (I’d guess 5+ quarts) to handle cooking in batches. The handle is good and avoids getting hot. It has a “helper” handle that I really like to lift the pan when filled with heavy or wet contents to make sure it does not tip. The lid is great — allows steam to escape in limited amounts and is clear so you can see what’s going on in the pan with it on. Overall I like this pan a lot and would definitely buy it again. It’s my “go to” pan for just about anything other than boiling water and it has carried the weight well didn’t cost a fortune.”

Customer Review: “After I learned to season it quick like 7 times, and started using a bush and cup with a dap of oil on the side I kept around to wipe with oil when done, and learned to due to size I needed to have rag on edge of sink when dumping out water, and then I often but not always heat up water in electric kettle to pour in when done cooking in order to not shock it. I find after all this that I actually do basically no scrubbing, just a bit of scraping with the metal spatula while the hot water is in it. And then I use a silicone handle on one side I had gotten and I want to get the other side for the silicone side to hold but I just use a pot holder for the other side, thicker one. But I find now that this is an ideal pan to cook everything and anything and many things. I just leave it on top of my stove for daily use. And the weight, for the same reason a mechanics arms are big while not lifting, their muscles are big purely due to making the same motion every day repetitively with the wrench. It’s called a hermetic stressor, the same way weight session (more stressful obviously) and a hot sauna, cold plunge, run, etc, are all good forms of stress that cause adaptation, So to does this just cause you to lift a heavier pot a few times a day as you cook. For vast majority of us it’s nothing. But I told my mom for instance that she should use it and she complained how heavy it was, and my brutal honest response was “that’s exactly why you need to be using it because it’s not like you are working out”. It won’t make you buff, just a bit heavier than a similiar size pan, but for the older crowd who find it important to get their exercises in at the pool and such, this is no different. Plus, once I learned to clean efficiently and season a couple times, it’s a god send of a pan. I love it. I just want to put that “it’s too heavy” criticisism that comes with cast iron in a new light. Your body adapts, allow it too gradually. I will at some point be adding a top to this, I just haven’t decided if I need to get the lodge glass one which would be nice or a silicone one for this, or just a cast iron one to keep the theme and look and durability forever. (Glass and silicone could both break in different ways). I do love this pan as I will admit, one of the reason I got this pan, being some one who can be hard on things by temperment, after knowing roughly how to care for this pan, I also have a lisence to absolutely abuse it and can’t scratch it or anything. Because once you have researched a couple of ways to take rust off and to totally reseason and recondition an old used on for instance, you have the confidence to own this the rest of your life and not ever feel like your going to rune it. I’m also strategically lazy, I call efficient, my mom thinks different, lol, but anyway, the fastest way to clean any pan is with hot water right when done cooking as it burns and melts stuff right off, I can do that with this without worrying how it affects coatings or anything and I can do that to kingdom come. There is a certain security that’s nice to feel with knowing that. The fact that it has a great non stick coating that develops after some use and is durable Af, I’m in love.Plus ever seen those videos on YouTube about how baking/pizza steel beats baking/pizza stones every time because of how the metal works vs the ceramic of the stone. It just hit me that this pan is also big enough to make a 15 inch pizza, and when making one for one to a few people depending how thick it is, that’s a good size to use as a pizza steel in the oven. I do even ti ally want a baking steel as I even learned you can leave those in your oven as it helps regulate the temperature in oven by functioning as a ballast in your oven. Don’t even have to clean those. Just let the oven burn stuff off. Till then this will work as a great pizza steel surface too.++. I don’t have much sense of smell, a bit impulsive so I tottally would put it on “HIGH” on the stove every time. Might turn it down at times but it always creates smoke which didn’t matter to me, but got my mom has the higher disgust sensitivity (these two traits in the house do not get along well) anyway, I out of impatience realized I had a habit of heating it up quickly on high, Then I realized I tested how long it takes to smoke with the oil I was using to season it after each cook. I timed how long on high, waited till room temp, tested how long on medium, etc. Did this for any cast iron and carbon steel pans I have too. And in this one I can get away on our gas burner stove on high:High Canola 400°-450° 4m 34sMedium Canola 400°-450° 6m 43s400°-450°=smoke point at which smoke appears as the oil is actually starting to burn (note health wise causing this isn’t healthy so avoid normally by following these instructions). You can do the same test on your stove with your seasoning pans. And now I just run it for 3mins on high but then turn to medium or lower. Could probably get away with 3:30 duration on high. But this way you can cook at medium or a tad lower after.”

Customer Review: “I picked this up back in October, and it’s quickly become one of my most-used pans. I can see why it’s such a top seller.What I love:· Built to last – this thing is solid. No worries about non-stick coatings wearing off or chemicals leaching. It’s pure, simple, durable iron.· Great heat retention – once it’s hot, it stays hot. Perfect for getting a good sear on steak, crispy skin on chicken, or even baking cornbread. I’ve used it on the stovetop, in the oven, and on the grill—it handles it all.· Natural non-stick with use – the factory seasoning is a good start, but it truly becomes non-stick the more you cook with it. Fry an egg after a few months of use, and it slides right off.· Versatile – oven-safe, stovetop-safe (including induction), campfire-safe. It really does it all.A few things to know:· It’s heavy. Not a big deal for everyday cooking, but if you have wrist issues or prefer lightweight pans, it’s worth noting.· Care is different – no soap in the dishwasher (hand wash only), and you need to dry it thoroughly and rub a thin layer of oil after each use to maintain the seasoning. It sounds like a lot, but it becomes second nature quickly.· The surface isn’t glass-smooth like vintage cast iron or some higher-end brands, but it still performs great and smooths out over time.Overall, this is a fantastic workhorse pan that will last a lifetime if cared for. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys cooking—whether you’re new to cast iron or a seasoned pro.”
