Heritage Steel Hammer Stahl Stainless 8.5 Inch Fry Pan

It's my first experience with stainless steel pan and I got this wonderful pan. Surprisingly, all foods cooked in this pan make amazing flavor and taste. When I tried to cook some of steak, it's absolutely different and greater than normal coated pan. I am very happy and strongly recommend this

Excelente producto! La sartén de siente de excelente calidad, es de acero inoxidable de grado quirúrgico, de ahí que especifica 316Ti, lo que la convierte en un producto con material inerte y que no contaminara los alimentos. Este producto por sus 5 capas es durable y se puede heredar entre generaciones. Ya voy por mi segunda compra.

Counterfeit, avoid

I was looking for a pan with gently sloping sides in which to flip eggs without a spatula - too steep and things tend to roll over prematurely. That feature is surprisingly hard to find. This pan looked promising and now that I have used it, it fits that bill perfectly. This pan is thicker and heavier than almost every other stainless pan I have owned. I seriously doubt I will ever need another. I use it on induction and find it slow to heat, but boy is the heat EVEN. I think part of that is the entire exterior layer is magnetic instead of just an add-on plate stuck to the bottom. The two downsides I read about are the handle being hard to hold, especially with soapy hands and the price. Yeah, if I put liquid soap or cooking oil directly on my hand it is a bit challenging but not too much; I don't normally cook that way anyway. That said, it is a very comfortable handle. For whatever drawback that me be, it is well worth the longevity of 316 stainless as opposed to 304 (I used to work in the steel industry). As for the price, it does seem a bit steep. However, after using it for 2 days, all I can say is I think it is worth every single penny.

I've been using this pan for a couple of months now, having switched from non-stick pans. I finally got tired of having to replace my non-stick pans after a few months. This pan should last longer than I will, and I have no concerns about teflon getting into my food. Though this pan seems expensive at first, considering it will last decades it becomes a bargain in the long run. Like many reviewers have already said, you have to learn how to season the pan and preheat it before each use. It is certainly more work to own than a non-stick pan, and it has taken some time for me to get used to it. By seasoning and preheating the pan, I've been able to cook eggs without them sticking, which I think is a good test. However some other foods have been sticking a bit, though cleanup is easy. If you are prepared for that, I think this is as good as a stainless steel pan gets, though I admit I have never used All Clad. Preheating this pan takes 5 minutes at medium heat on my stove, and I would not want a heavier pan or it would probably take even longer. I'm not sure how 7 layers is better than 3, but the heat does travel well up the sides of the pan. I'm not sure if the 316Ti is a true benefit or good marketing, but being a bit of a science geek, I dug into it a little and it seems like this is the highest quality, most corrosion resistant stainless steel available, the kind they use for medical implants. The weight is good, and the handle is comfortable and stays cool except for the inch or so next to the pan rim, which is not where your hand goes. There has been no warping whatsoever. Given the price difference, for my money I would opt for these over All Clad. I wish they sold an 8 inch pan with the 316Ti as an individual item (you can get it in a set).
