T-fal Performa Stainless Steel Fry Pan 12 Inch Induction Oven Broiler Safe 500F Cookware, Pots and Pans, Dishwasher Safe Silver

We bought the pan almost six years ago. Still going strong. We would have replaced a non-stick pan at least once, maybe twice by now. Food does stick a little bit, but not as bad as a flat bottom pan. It is very easy to clean. The handle remains cool on our stove. Since this pan works so well for us, I went ahead and bought more pots and pans in the series. I love them all. They are durable and easy to take care of. I would like my kids to buy the same when they move out. These pots and pans may outlast them, with no coating or plastic handles to deal with. It’s funny that I praise mass-produced products this much, but these have been a life-saver for us.

I bought these to replace "non stick" pans. these really are great pans. They heat fast and cook well. My experience with non stick is that inevitably they get overheated and then all food sticks or within 2 years or less you have to buy new ones because the coating is peeling off. I got tired of throwing away pans that don't do what they are supposed to. My experience is that these do clean up easy (much easier than the Green Pans I had) and if food does stick it is the same as any "non stick" pan that I have used. So glad to find these and stop throwing out worn out pans. It will be a savings and less chemical exposure from coatings.

Gorgeous pan and if you know how to cook on stainless it releases like a dream come true. I see lots of reviews where cooks are complaining that everything sticks. As long as you watch the hi heat you won't have a problem. ALL stainless sticks on high heat. This pan is all I'll ever need. Easy to clean a long as you don't abuse it, great medium weight and value par excellence! Recommended!

Good and useful

My husband trained and worked as a chef. He said this pan reminds him of the pans he used in the restaurant and in school. He is sick of Teflon and worries about the safety of Teflon. He said Teflon is good for cooking eggs and shredded hashbrowns, that's it. When he first cooked with this pan, the smell of the meat was incredible. I don't think we get that with Teflon. It's weird. That's what I noticed. What he noticed is this pan cooks like a professional pan and has a nice heavy weight to it. It will sear meat, if you want, it cooks evenly and quickly. You don't need to use a high temperature. It cleaned up faster than Teflon, according to him. I noticed some scratches inside the pan from my husband using a metal spatula, and showed him the instructions that say not to use metal in it. He was upset by that, as he was looking forward to finally being able to use metal utensils in a pan. I read that you can do that, that the scratches will not affect the performance of the pan, just the looks. So we are debating if we will care about scratching the inside. It's just that it's so beautiful and shiny. I found that there can be a little residue sometimes after you clean them and using a little Ceramabrite takes it right off. I will update my review down the road to say how the pan holds up to my husband's abuse (hehe). Also, note that so far, the handle stays cool to the touch when cooking. We also have a set of these in pots and pans, the handles seem to stay cool to the touch with them too. It does not look like we needed the silicone handles, so I am glad we went without and chose the pans that can take the higher heat in the oven.

Nice weight, heats up evenly. Use caution when lifting off stove as the handle does get hot. Handle cools relatively quickly after pan is removed from heat. Have used it several times ans still cleans up like new. Cleaned after soaking overnight with soap and water and once for burnt on food with ZEP oven and grill cleaner.

I regret purchasing. Had for 2 months. The rivets on the bottom of the pan are not worth it for me. I have tried foods on high, medium and low heat. The rivets trap the fonds in the bottom of the pan below the rivets, aka burnt food that make a yummy sauce when broth is added. Wooden spoons, whisks, spatulas, almost none of them work to get it off the pan into the liquid. It takes a bit of work to clean with a copper covered steel wool or Bon Ami cleaner. I have tried low oil to a lot of oil cooking the food. Coconut oil, olive oil, butter, and heavy cream, everything still sticks to the pan. Turkey meat balls stick to the pan. I end up ripping of pieces of my chicken breast on the rivets. I have tried using, silicone spatulas, wooden, metal, and food stubbornly sticks. I got their T-Fal stainless 11 piece set and cooking in the 10.5 inch pan is a lot easier to use than this pan. I needed a 12 inch skillet. It didn't come in the set. The review saying it is restaurant quality won me over. And I thought it was user error for me, so kept trying and trying. I think the only reason to keep it, is for self defense. Very sturdy pan. Handle feels great and has a good weight to it. I love my heavy ceramic coated Dutch oven and my cast iron skillet better than this pan.

I thought I would not like it after reading some of the negative reviews. In fact, I carefully unpackaged it fully expecting to return it after one use - but boy I love this pan, especially for the price. Other top rated stainless pans are near $200 or more so I figured I'd give this a shot. At first I made bacon, and the cleanup was easy. Then I tried the dreaded eggs. I was sure the eggs were going to get stuck in the raised surfaces, but not at all. I did notice a little patina on the bottom of the pan after several uses, but I don't mind. In fact it does clean up if I hit it with my scrubby pad. If I soak the pan with soapy water after use, the cleanup is a snap. I have only had it less than a week but used it a bunch, and will keep it. Oh, it is larger than I would have liked so I will have to go to a thrift store and buy a lid as all of my other lids don't fit, but whatever. Its light so I don't mind the large size, plus I can cook a lot of bacon eggs veggies in there at once. I highly recommend it.

Good quality. Mostly we have been using nonstick pans but the Teflon coating is easily ruined by my family. I find this pan to be indestructible so far. Make sure it is hot before you put anything in it. It’s been great to cook with and easy to clean.

I really like this pot however sometimes the food does stick to it. I found it useful to ensure that the pot is oiled well before frying and not making the oil too hot. There are also nonstick sprays you could use so that the food doesn’t stick or you can cook on the lower heat. To clean the pot it’s easy for me because I use silicone Scrubber to reduce the likelihood of scratching it. However my husband uses an iron scrubber and there are no scratches inside. Pre-soaking it also helps before you wash it.

Es una maravilla no pesa mucho, excelente tamaño, muy recomendable para comenzar a usar acero inoxidable, que es lo mejor para cocinar pues no suelta quimicos o parecidos, hay que aprender a calentarla para que no se le pegue la comida pero para eso hay muchos tutoriales en YT, me hubiera gustado un mango un poco mas largo pero cumple muy bien su función, FUNCIONA con INDUCCION, el unico punto negativo que le veo es que en las escamas que trae con el tiempo se le forma un tipo Hollin en la circunferencia de las escamas que yo personalmente cada cierto tiempo retiro con una aguja nueva o similar, pero si vale la pena el producto, recomendado.

I’m loving this pan

El sarten es de muy buena calidad, es grueso, lo malo es ese relieve que le pusieron del lado del interior, la verdad es que no le veo ningun sentido, mucha gente se queja de que las cosas se pegan, y el problema es que como todo utensilio para cocinar debe estar muy caliente al momento de colocar los alimentos de lo contrario tendras problemas, lo que si es malo y ese relieve extraño no ayuda es que si sew te llega a pegar algo demasiado, si sera complicado limpiarlo bien, pero si se usa adecuadamente no tendras problemas de comida que se pegue. Si vas a por este tipo de utensilios por salud por lo menos usa aceites de coco, aguacate o manteca que son los saludables, ya que si usas aceites comunes baratos no te servira de nada, al menos hay que ser congruente.
