T-fal Signature Nonstick Expert Interior Thermo-Spot Heat Indicator Dishwasher Safe 12.5-Inch Fry

1. This one has the handle riveted in 2 spots, rather than 1 spot as in the old model, which makes the handle sturdy, with no loose play at all.

2. Old model had a metal disc in the middle, to help diffuse the heat more evenly. Problem was that after a while, due to heat expansion/contraction, the center disc went up, and the botttom was looking like a little hill. All the oil was flowing out, downslope, towards the perimeter, so one needed to put a lot of oil to cover the bottom. The new model does not have this disc, and it does not have the problem either.

3. Old model was a bit bigger, and heavier, and this is noticeable, but not too bad.

4. The new model has a center red spot that is supposed to brighten up once the oil is hot enough. IT NEVER CHANGES COLOR, NOT EVEN AT THE END OF THE COOKING SESSION. FEATURE DOES NOT WORK. This is the only reason why I docked product 1 star, but it is not a biggie for me.

I was looking for a perfect saute pan and this one is excellent!! Note-follow the directions-only use with low and medium heat--high heat will damage finish quickly ( which is probably how I ruined other ones)

Why is it that all of your pans, no matter when you bought them, seem to all die at once?Leaving you, of course, only with the small size 8 and 10-inch pans in which to cook large meals for hungry boys?

That being the case, I set out to find a replacement for my much beloved set of Tfal frying pans.I have Kitchenaid as well but the sides of them are so fragile and easily dented, that it's akin to cooking with aluminum foil.This pan, however, is just outstanding.There's a disk in the center that tells you when the pan is perfectly heated for cooking.Pretty cool feature, particularly if you're attempting to teach those hungry boys how to cook something for themselves.I have no problem whatsoever fitting whatever dish I like into this pan, the sides are somewhat shallow, so I can't always fix one of those "all in the pan" meals, but that's what chicken fryers are for, right?

Anyway, this guy is just awesome for everyday use. The rubber handle makes gripping very easy and quite frankly, if it's not purple in my house, then it has to be red or navy blue.So, the color on this pan is just awesome!

Great, great pan, have been using TFal for 25 years.Highly, highly recommend!

I really love this fry pan. Everything is first class. The last one I had lasted about 5 years so I bought this one. No complaints. The old one is in with my camp gear and works just great. I'll buy another one in a couple years.
