I ended up buying it from shopko.com since Amazon did not have it in stock. The item that I ordered (and received) is the exact part number that was reviewed by Cook's Illustrated.
All I can say is that Cook's was right. This pan has amazing non-stick properties. I've been using the pan for several months now on a daily basis (I'm on a carb-restricted diet, so I eat fried eggs for breakfast every morning) and the non-stick properties of this pan are simply amazing. No sticking. Clean-up is a breeze. I'm VERY satisfied with this pan and will not hesitate to purchase another when this one wears out (hey, nothing lasts forever).
OK, I love this pan's non stick... the CI review and the amazon people were right... however the one I got has a definite "hump" in the middle.If you put a tbs of oil in it as per a recipe, it all runs to the sides, leaving the middle dry.if you put eggs in it to fry, same thing.I wish I would have returned it, as no one else has had this issue....so long story short, check it when you get it, and return it if you get a bum one like I did... I would order another and simply check it for this issue...After reading about this product on Cook's Illustrated, I decided to hunt for one.Lots of trouble finding it, but at some point, Amazon came through with the T-Fal Professional Nonstick (with thermo spot
and prometal pro interior).After buying Calphalon, Cuisinart and other nonsticks over the years, I have been very disappointed because they really aren't nonstick and don't hold up well.This pan is amazing! I use it for omelets, vegetable sautes, meat sautes and general stovetop uses.It is lighter weight than most cooktop pans, but it is wide with slightly sloped sides so I can get a lot in it.And things saute to a nice brown with minimal fata winner in my opinion!I sure hope Tfal makes this product available again!This is the second T-Fal professional fry pan that I've bought.I first bought the 12.5 inch one and loved it so muchI ordered this smaller one.It is simply the best non-stick skillet of any brand that I've ever come across!I can't praise it enough.Keep up the good work, T-Fal!
