I originally bought this skillet as a gift for someone. They raved on and on about it so I felt I needed one too! I put it on my wishlist and received it as a gift from my family. It is so easy to love this pan!
Since the reviews do not contain photos of cooked food in the pan (when I wrote this review) I thought I'd add a little color! The first photo is the first flip of the sausage. This was cooked on my electric stove that is so not very level. As you can see on the lighter first flip photo, the cooking is perfectly even on all of the sausage patties. The second photo is at the second and final flip, completely cooked, absolutely evenly browned. This was cooked on Medium-High. Excellent nonstick surface as claimed. Game Changer for sure!
On my electric stovetop it took as long to heat up as my iron skillet does, I'm sure induction will be much faster. It has a heavy thickness on the bottom (stainless steel) that I believe will not warp. Though I haven't used it on my induction plate, I feel it will work so well too in fact, on all cooking surfaces as claimed. I've never seen an induction plate cook so evenly on my glass top! My other induction pans are awful on my electric glass cooktop. This one performs!!
It has a thick granite nonstick surface and there was absolutely perfect application of this surface at the factory. It works so well. Eggs slide around in the pan easily too! Hello sunny side up!
Cleaning is so easy, pour out any liquids or fats, use a sponge with a little soap and water, rinse and you are done. I don't plan on putting mine in the dishwasher because it is so easy to hand wash, however, you could do that easily. Even if the dishwasher is full, you can remove the handle for better positioning in the dishwasher if you like. Also the handle can be removed for storage space. The handle has a button release mechanism which is not hard to push. What a beautiful feature and designed well with the cook and space in mind! The handle attaches firmly and does not wobble or move. It is not slick in the hand and has a slight grip with the bakelite finish. It is very safe.
There is an added pour spout which I appreciate and will use often for grease and other hot liquids to prevent spills.
The 3 inch walls help with grease splatter and also allow this skillet to hold 4.3 Quarts! This is a perfect size for any food recipe or even cooking application like boiling, frying or sauteeing large amounts of veggies!
The lid has a vent hole and is made of tempered explosion-proof glass, which has good thermal stability. The pour spout also has a small vented area. The handle of the lid has a pretty asthetic and also made of the same material as the handle, cool to touch. It is large enough to fit perfectly in the palm of the hand. The lid fits tight (but still turns) on the skillet.
It is recommended to use silicone, nylon or wooden utensils so the life of the pan is extended. I also do not recommend to cook at high temperatures for the same reason. The recommended high temp is 302F. The surface is PFOA-Free.
The outside walls of the pan are an interesting pattern placed on top of the granite surface. It almost seems like an aligator type print. It is not really a strong pattern.
I love the pan, I may buy another just in case!!
