Frying Pan Stainless Steel, 10-Inch Multi-Ply Clad wok Stir Fry Pan Kitchen Skillet, Silver

First, I read most of the reviews concerning this and other products; comparing features ,pricing, and even complaints(most seem to have problems with food sticking/burning and cleanup). I will try to address most of these with a reasonable quick answers but with true thoughts.Lets look at features and pricing. This is an all clad design(meaning that it has a core sandwich between two layers that extends the full body of the item), which helps with even heating. The stay cool handles are comforable and securely attached to the body and the product is oven safe too(within recommended limits). The weight of the item is heavy but reasonable when compare with same/equal and lesser quality items. The appaearance/cosmetic/look is high polished and retains it's looks even after several events of cooking as long as you use common sense care in use. As for pricing, all you have to do is compare simailar products and you will find that most items with these features and quality is 2 to 4 times the price of this item(don't take my word, compare for yourself).Now, as to the problems(food sticking/burning and cleanup), these are user related. The first thing you need to do is follow instructions on use and care. When you recieve the item please wash and dry according to enclosed brochure. To stop and or reduce the chance of sticking, preheat the item around a mid setting; then add oil and reduce heat to a mid-low setting(too high of setting will result in the proability of sticking and or burning of food); then add desired food product(s). Never forget your process of cooking, the best is to not leave and finish your cooking. If you follow these steps your chance of sticking and burning of food is reduce highly. With the steps provided above, cleanup should be a breeze. Most of the time all is needed is warm soapy water and a cloth and rinse well; but if needed you may use a cleaner to remove stain or food particles. Use recommended cleaners and no metal pads or etc, that might scratch the surfaces.(also you can use a mixture of water with lemon juice and or vinager and let soak for 1/2 hour to 2 hours, then wash as stated). All this information is available on the web for you to research and use in caring for this or simalar products.Inclusion, this product is a quality item at a afforable price and will last for several years of use if properly care for. If you are looking for SS cookware, then this item should aquire your attention, thoughts, and your consideration.

Absolutely worth the cost, these pans are easy to scrub. You can use brillo pads if they get gross. Just a very good value in my opinion. I was so sick of buying junk cookware and having to replace it every year or two... That is way more expensive to buy a $10 pan every year, rather than spend $28 and get one that will last for many years. These are so well made. You can feel the weight. Came in perfect, gorgeous new condition.I am so HAPPY I FINALLY SPENT SOME MONEY ON THESE! I would not recommend any other pan. Those telfon pans are so bad, they flake and that stuff is toxic. I like to be able to scrub my pans when I get them messy, I can with this and it just comes sparkling clean again after! You can soak them overnight- unlike ceramic pans which will get rust spots if you do that. Stainless steel is the way to go and the handle--- Oh the handle really does NOT GET HOT Even when I have it on my power burner for 20 minutes on medium high heat. I have NEVER experienced that. That is why I got the 3 ply clad, not just the stainless steel- there really is a difference which is important when you have 3 small kids in the house, just in case... Because there are times when my mini chef son(7 years old) likes to remove his own pancakes from the pan after the burner is turned off... Its such a great feature. The handles also never get wiggly, idk about anyone else but my handles on my crappy cheapo pans always got loose quickly after buying and you would have to tighten them up with a screw driver- not these- these handles are riveted theres absolutely not way they can get loose. Nicest pans ever buy them. I have 3 now; 2 frying pans and 1 3quart pot. I love all 3 and am happy they sell individually because they are pricey but so worth it... I can just buy one when I have some extra cash and hope to replace all of my junk pots and pans with these in the near future!

This is a quality product, at a reasonable price. I am sorry that it was not made in USA. I have only had it for a month or so and can not attest to long term characteristics. But it heats evenly even though my burner is smaller than the skillet. The handle does stay cool to touch. If you place a good high temperature cooking oil in it and slowly heat it till it begins to smoke, then let it cool and wipe it down, it will gain a slippery surface that is close to that of a teflon skillet. I have fried eggs in it, which is probably one of the best tests to see if things will stick and it passed with flying colors the first time or two. Unfortunately this oil seasoning process may need to be repeated somewhat frequently. I have fried chicken in it and it holds 6-8 pieces with room to spare and the lid is great for holding in the heat and reducing the cook time. I always run some water in it right after cooking while it is still hot (wipe out any extra oil or grease first). You might need to run your spatula across the bottom too. But then after dinner, this is easily cleaned with only hot water and rinsing. I have used a Revere Ware stainless skillet and am not new to cooking on stainless. But I am pleasantly surprised at how well this cooks eggs after seasoning and cleans up. I have not had a huge reduction in where I turn my stove top setting, but a little. The instructions say not to cook on high heat and it did make a little vibration noise when I was seasoning it. But it can go directly into the oven at up to 500 degrees F. I also hope it works well with induction cooking but haven't purchased a new stove yet, so I can't comment on that.
