Nordic Ware Texas Skillets

Here are my early observations:

(1) Works on both induction and smooth-top ceramic burner

(2) Is properly balanced so stays flat with or without weight of food

(3) Holds 1.5 quarts with room to spare; 1 quart comfortably if stirring

(4) Cooks evenly without hot spots

(5) Pours without dripping

(6) Cooked over-easy eggs nicely with zero grease, not even spray

(7) Made of heavy gauge ferrous metal except handle which stays cool

(8) Non-stick interior, enamel exterior cleans up with ease

It came without a cover but I found a glass one that fits perfectly at Goodwill. The skillet's handle has a hole for hanging, which I like. One reviewer suggests that the quality of these changed somewhere along the line. If that is true, mine, which I bought in June 2011, is the older, better quality. Could be, actually, as it was hanging around in a small rural Kmart with a sale price on it. But more likely the quality never changed and they are just nice, heavyweight cookware. Will update as I gain experience with this skillet.

WHEN THIS PAN IS COLD IT LOOKS FLAT, BUT AS SOON AS IT IS HEATED, THE BOTTOM BECOMES WARPED AND ROUNDED, CAUSING THE PAN TO BECOME UNSTABLE ON THE STOVETOP. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN FRYING WITH HOT OIL. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PRODUCT.

I thought because of this pan's heavy weight & "Tri-ply metal construction" and claim that it "provides even heating and rugged durability," that I would like it. NOT so. It immediately warps over medium heat so that it cooks only in the middle. Plus, it seems to burn things over the same medium heat at which my other skillets cook just fine.

It might have "professional weight" but this semi-professional cook hates it.

Save yourself some grief & buy any other skillet but this (though I would suggest a T-Fal product).

I love this pan. I have had my pan for over 4 years. I have had none of the warping that some reviewers mentioned. Most modern pans use low to moderate heat. I usually go with a moderate heat setting. I love the clean up, since it does not splash grease all over my stove, the pan itself is easy to clean. I have many other pans, many different makes, but this is my favorite.It cost a lot less than my other pans and I have not had any problems with the nonstick coating.Admittedly, I am careful with my nonstick pans, I don't pile them unless I put a dishtowel between them to protect the pan.I wash by hand so I don't know the affects dishwashers have on pans.But for my money this is a great buy, and made in the U.S.A. I can't ask for anything more. I know the picture does not show it, but there is a steel handle opposite the handle.I usually use it to help lift the pan if I have to drain something off. This is a large pan, and if you are cooking a large amount it comes in handy.
