Nordic Ware Pro Cast 8 Inch Omelet Pan

Let me start by saying my wife and I can probably be described as pan snobs.With cabinets full of Anolon and Calphalon premium cast aluminum lines, our expectations for this affordable little fry/omelet pan weren't very high.Boy were we surprised!It not only performs, but it looks great doing it.It has the slickest textured non-stick surface of any pan in our arsenal, and after months of use it is showing absolutely no signs of wear.Considering the stellar performance of this little pan, I have no doubt we will add additional Nordic Ware Pro cookware to our collection when our more expensive pans have fulfilled their useful lives.Oh, yeah . . . and it's made in America, too!

Let me start by saying that I have had many omelet skillets in my life that did not last very long. I am an avid breakfast eater; it is my favorite meal of the day. My omelets are legendary at my house and my skillets take a beating. I love this little Nordic War Pro Cast 8 inch Omelet Pan for many reasons...first, I don't need as much butter...second, the eggs and anything else I cook on it slide out and cook evenly...and third, clean up is a breeze. Great product!!!!!

While Nordic Ware calls this a "texture-infused nonstick surface," this is not a nonstick pan like a Teflon coated one is. This should be classified as a "low stick" pan. For many things, you can cook without added oil and they will slide out just fine, but for tenacious stickers, like eggs, you do need a small amount of oil. Then you'll end up chasing your food around the inside of the pan with spatula, it's that stick free. As with all nonstick cookware, no metallic utensils or cleaning objects (like a stainless steel scrubby), please.

This pan heats up evenly and cooks well. There are no rivets on the inside to collect gunk. Cleaning up the inside of the breeze with just a sweep with a soapy sponge. It is oven safe up to 400°F.

The outside is a different matter. Cleaning the sides is easy, but the bottom of the pan is covered with little nubs (Nordic Ware calls this an "air cushioned bottom") that I guess are supposed to help distribute heat evenly. The pan does heat evenly so I guess they work, but cleaning the bottom is a real pain. If you get any kind of gunk baked on between the nubs it's darn near impossible to clean. If you're anal about this kind of stuff, this will drive you nuts! If you're one of those who likes to hang your spotlessly clean cookware on a rack for all to admire, this pan is not for you. Another effect of the nubs if you have a gas stove: when you shake the pan it doesn't slide over the grates, but "clunk" as the nubs catch the burner grate bars.

Overall though, this is a great pan. It's nicely balanced, heats evenly, and cleans up easily. Highly recommended, but just remember this is a "low stick" pan not a "nonstick" pan. Made in America is a bonus.
