Farberware Restaurant Pro Aluminum Nonstick 12-Inch Commercial Skillet

This pan looks and feels like a restaurant quality pan. It's very solidly built. The nonstick coating works well and seems to be of similar quality to my smaller All-Clad pan. The outside is brushed aluminum so you don't have to worry about scratches. The pan is a bit thinner than some of the high-end pans, but I prefer it since it heats up quickly, it's easier to moderate the temperature, and it's easier to maneuver. As far as I can tell it heats pretty evenly. My previous pan was a higher end Calphalon whose coating wore out within 2 years. In my opinion, it's not worth the investment to buy an expensive non-stick. I think you get more than what you pay for here.

We have a flat glass top electric stove and have had problems with skillets which warp or do not cook evenly or both. After buying a Farberware 14-inch nonstick coating skillet (this one's larger version) and finding that it doesn't warp even at the highest heat setting, cooks evenly, and has high sides to prevent items from falling out onto the stovetop, I got this 12-inch version from Amazon for my wife for Christmas. A great bonus given the metal-only handles on many of today's skillets is that these Farberware units have long handles with no-hand burn insulation. As usual Amazon's processing and shipping were fast and the skillet was well packed. My wife is very pleased with this. So far, like the 14-inch version, this one hasn't warped either even at the highest heat setting and it also fries and cooks evenly. The nonstick coating has not deteriorated.

My negative comment is about a conflict in Farberware's printed instructions. On the visible face it states that the handle is good for oven use to 400 degrees F, but on the inside, not viewable until the pasteboard instructions are removed from the pan, the stated limit is 350 degrees F.

This pan is a wonderful pan for the price. I first received this pan as a Christmas gift. I used and abused this pan for 3 years before I finally had to replace it. I replaced it with the exact same pan I loved it so much. This pan heats evenly and is high quality. I love to cook and this pan is one of my favorite tools in my kitchen.

Non-stick coating works, holds up well after several dishwasher runs. Relatively small pan bottom for 12" skillet with deep sides. Takes a while to come up to temperature relative to its adequate weight. A decent cheap alternative to anodized aluminum.

Given the weight of this excellent pan, and it's seriously heavy so if you have trouble lifting things, this is not for you, it should be a good half inch deeper. Notice how it tapers out wider at the top. That's not really needed either. I'd prefer less taper and use that metal to give it more height. But overall this is a great pan and a solid deal.
