I hadn't bought new cookware in ages. I visited my elderly parents and my mother of all people had these in her cabinet. After using them I found them really nice and decided to order some for myself. I'm very impressed with non-stick surface. We will have to see how well it fares long term, but so far I love it.
These are ok but nowhere near as good as the original T-Fal, it scratches easily, inside and out. Seems to be poor quality.
I got this pair of frying pans, or skillets. I've been trying to find lids for them. No luck. I've contacted T-Fal Customer Service and this is what I got back from them;
("Our saute pans were designed as open saute pans.As such, they do not come equipped with lids nor do we have the lids available for purchase seperately.
However, universal lids which may fit depending on the size of the pan are available from several retailers.
They lids may be available at Kmart, Kohl's, Bon-Ton Wal-Mart, Shopko, Target and Elderbeerman.")
I've found and tried the T-fal "Universal Lid" and it doesn't come close to fitting these. The handles are higher than the rim of the pan and that wont let the lid sit flat on the pan. I have 3 drawers full with over a dozen different sized lids and not a single one will fit either of these frying pans. Or as T-Fal insists on calling them "Saute pans" The only thing I can do to use them is us a piece of aluminum foil to cover it and that is barely more than nothing. So even though I've had these for about 6 months I still haven't been able to use them.
And I know it ain't proper to write a review on something until it has been used. But I feel that the point that these do not have lids available for them needs to be posted. They are odd sizes and unlikely to have any other pans lid fit them. Since not having a lid available for it is pretty significant I feel that these only rate a 2 star evaluation. If they want a better rating, they need to make a lid for them, then I'll change it.
