KitchenAid Gourmet Non-Stick Aluminum Skillet, Red, 12.5"

My husband won't even let me put this in the dishwasher!!Kid you not, he loves this pan. He said there's nothing flimsy about it and he appreciates that :)I like that it's deeper than others we have. You can put more in one pan without worrying about spilling over the edge. Even-heating and the fact that it can...

Bodum Chambord 21 by 21 cm, 8.3 by 8.3-Inch Cast Iron Enamel Grill Pan, Black

()You can't always be traipsing outside to use the grill, unless you live in the right part of the world for it or else have a very sheltered area. I love the way this grill pan brings the grilling indoors. True, it's got a small cooking area (21 centimeters square, just over 8 inches) but that's big enough...

Mauviel M'steel Frying Pan, 8-Inch

I bought the Mauviel M'steel Frying Pan in the 8 inch and 9.5 inch this Christmas to replace some Calphalon Non Stick pans that were wearing out.Real Simple magazine had a review on this brand and indicated they were a great buy/great find.They arrived very well packed, and had a layer of wax on them to protect...

Cast Iron Fajita Pan w/Wood Base

The quality of this pan is poor at best.I bought two sets, they are both terrible.The edges are rough, jagged, and sharp.I will be returning these and purchasing the Lodge Logic.I'm sure it will be worth the extra mon...

Tramontina Pro 3004 Nonstick Aluminum Restaurant Fry Pan, 14"

the quality is everything i expected. I was very happy to find a 'made in USA' product i could cook in.Two cons for me, but neither is the products fault: it's really big I think the 14" diameter is the base, the top flairs out to several inches more. Think of where you'll store it before you buy it.The second...

Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric Griddle

I purchased this griddle intending to use it to cook pancakes, bacon, and to heat torillas.First of all, the aluminum surface of the griddle is not as thick as I was expecting.I haven't measured it, but I'd estimate it's between 1/8" and 3/16" thick across most of the surface.As such, it does warp under high...

Anolon Ultra Clad Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

I ordered this set using my frequent flyer miles. It is the nicest cookware set I've ever owned! My previous sets were non-stick, so it did take a little getting used to cooking with stainless steel (hot pan, cold oil; food won't stick). I've only been using it for about a month but they seem very durable. They...

Nordic Ware Pro Cast 12 Inch Saute Skillet

For sauteing, or really any other kind of stove-top cooking, this pan is a win.The non-stick surface is unsurpassed; rather than some cheap coating, you get non-stick graphite on durable pressure-cast aluminum.I don't know exactly why the textured surface works so well, but it does!I have a complete set of cookware...

Corning Vision Visions Amber 10 3/4" Skillet with Lid

I prefer a non-toxic pan for cooking which is why I purchased this glass cookware.For cooking vegetables and items that don't stick really badly, the Visionware has been great. I use this particular pan mainly to sautee or steam vegetables and to fry bacon.It cleans up nicely when you soak it and scrub it out...

Staub 12" American Square Grill Pan

I purchased the 10" Lodge Logic Grill Pan and the 10" Staub Grill Pan at the same time. The Staub pan is approximately three times the cost of the lodge logic pan. I find the Staub pan to be suburb in both look and feel, but both pans are entirely functional. Surprisingly, I found the lodge pan to have a smoother...

Browne Foodservice Heavy Duty Non Stick Fry Pans with Grip

I bought 2 of these and two Cuisinart non stick pans of the same size so I could make 4 Vietnamese Banh Xeo at a time. Which I did last Wednesday night. All the pans worked well, but these were less expensive and heavier, though somewhat less elegant than the Cuisinarts, which I think were $28 each. I will buy...

Revere Copperclad Bottom 1-Quart Covered Saucepan

The difference in quality and weight of newly manufactured (overseas) Revere saucepans and those made in America half a century ago is obvious when placed side by side. I am STILL using several 1960's pans, and they remain in BETTER shape after all these years of use than the "new" ones I bought that dent so...

Oster CKSTSKFM05 16-Inch Electric Skillet, Black and Stainless Steel

I bought this skillet a few months ago to replace my old worn out one. I like to cook quick meals for myself with a skillet because of my job. I'm always on the go and I need a easy, fast, cook and clean for one person and out the door way of life. I have gone thru many cheaper skillets thru the years and Oster...

Calphalon Tri-Ply 12-Inch Stainless Steel Everyday Pan with Cover

This pan is somewhat bigger than I expected. The side walls spread out from the base a little more than it seems to look in the picture, but it's a fantastic pan. It's heavy and the base fits perfectly on the largest element of my electric stove. Looks great and fits in with the rest of the Tri-Ply line. The...

Vollrath Z4010 Wear-Ever CeramiGuard II Interior Fry Pan with Cool Handle, 10-Inch

I bought my first Lincoln Wearever pan probably about 12 years ago.I have both a 10 inch and 7 inch pan, but only the 7 inch pan has the ceramigard coating.In using these pans nearly daily for all of that time, I haven't had to replace either of them until today.I suppose you'll want to know why I'm buying another...

Shabu Shabu Pan 24 cm./9 1/2" 2.1 Liter Made In Japan

True dimensions are more like:4.5" tall (height of the stack)9.5-10" diameter3" deep basin.It is probably good for 2-3 people but not much more as this is a smaller pot.Contact area on the bottom is a 1" wide ring and found this to cause troubles with induction stoves.As designed, gas and charcoal is probably...

Lodge 2HHMC2 Hot Handle Holders/Mitts, multi-color Peppers, Set of 2

We invested in cast-iron cookware recently and bought two packages of these.They are fantastic.They get warm from the heat, but never hot.I tried keeping them on the handles all the way while I cooked, but found that they can burn if they're too close to the flame (I guess that is pretty obvious!)However, if...

KitchenAid Aluminum Nonstick 11-Inch Deep Round Grill Pan, Red

Really pleased with this grill pan.It is attractive-----love the red color,-------truly non-stick and easy to clean.What I especially like is the fact that it is not too heavy!My daughter-in-law saw it and liked it---bought one for her for Christmas.Received in perfect condition.This was a Christmaspresent for...

Scanpan Classic 15-Inch Wok

I cook with the wok almost every day.I have thrown out so many circulon woks that I am glad to have found the scan pan wok.The size is perfect since I make a lot of chow fun, stir fry and chow mein.It's nice and deep for stir frying large amounts of food.The finish is the BEST non stick finish I have ever used!I...
