I have always wanted to try this cookware but truthfully have been too cheap! I finally got this particular pan and am in love with it! I will be expanding my collection soon I hope. For the first 2 weeks this pan was literally always on the stove. You can cook anything in it and clean up is awesome. The press helps cook meats faster than I've ever seen! Bacon goes from the fridge to crisp in literally 2 minutes! It makes awesome scambled eggs too. I cannot say enough good things about it. You have to try it to believe it!
I really like bacon but I've always had a hard time with getting it to cook evenly, that's why I purchased this pan.It really does a good job with heating evenly and the press keeps the bacon flat on the pan so the ends don't curl up and then not cook.I've also discovered that because of it's shape and non stick properties, it does a great job on french toast because you can put 4 slices in the pan at once and just like the bacon, it cooks evenly.My only complaint is that the handle on the press should have been made so that it doesn't conduct heat.After a while you have to use an oven mit to pick up the press.If the handle could be made to stay cool, I would have given it 5 stars.I am using this about four times as often as I anticipated, sometimes with the press, which works great, and sometimes without.Amazing the versatility that the shape of the skillet provides. Heavy, but not crippling.;)I don't think anyone would have regrets about this purchase.I ordered all of the Rachael Ray Pans and I have to say the quality is supurb.They clean up easily and do not stick.I bought the hard anodized or something like that.You have to cook on medium heat and no higher but the outcome of what you are preparing will make you proud. Try it I'm sure you will love it as much as I do.
After using this for a little over six months, I can honestly say there are both good things and not-so-good things.Love the size and shape that's the primary reason for purchasing.We used this skillet on average twice a week for cooking bacon and cook on a smooth cooktop surface.At this point, our primary dissatisfaction is that the center of the skillet has bowed inward a bit.Now the bacon in the center 4-5" of the skillet burns before the ends of each piece are completely cooked.Because we thoroughly allow cooking utensils to return to room temperature before washing them and always wash them by hand, this should not have happened.The bacon press is nice and heavy and does its job well.When using the bacon press, the bacon cooks much more evenly.I will probably try another brand of skillet to see if there's something out there that will hold up better.
