Love it just as it say and very no stick

Great 8” non-stick pan. The plus factor for me was the lid. So hard to find small fry pans that are not connected to a whole set of pans, that come with a lid. Cleanup is great! I put the lid in dishwasher but hand wash the pan. Think it’s better in the long run for the non-stick feature of the pan.

It's a great pan. Real value for the money. Easy to clean.

I am so tired of buying non-stick pans every year! I do not use, nor do I even own, metal cooking utensils. Everything is silicon or temp-resistant “plastic.” I hand wash with a sponge. Yet, every year, any non-stick pan I have ever owned, even ceramic, begins to stick. WHY!? I have purchased this pan with the hope that it will not lose its non-sick properties, but only time will tell. I will tell you that right after I received it, and after I washed it prior to use, I cooked an egg in the 8” skillet, without any pan spray. Right off the bat, the egg stuck. I spray the pan now before each use. Sometimes caramelized vegetables will still stick. I gave this a reluctant 4, fighting the urge to give it a 3 star rating. IMO, a non-stick pan should be exactly that, AND, still be safe for use without “forever” chemicals leaching into bodies and the environment. Also, the glass lid is vented (YAY), but it emits crackling noises as it heats up and cools down, sounding exactly like glass cracking. And, yes, I let it cool to room temperature before putting it into water.

I love this pan. It is awesome to cook with.

Finally a nonstick skillet that's really nonstick. I've fried meat, eggs and potatoes and other vegetables and have had no issues with anything sticking. Now for the issue(s): if what's being fried takes any length of time the metal handle gets hot as does the one on the lid, burned my fingers removing the lid to stir the vegetables the first time it took a few extra minutes to cook. Not really a major issue as using an oven mitt solves the problem and the fact that the skillet is nonstick more than compensates for any shortcomings.

So, it’s been less than a year that I’ve been using these two pans, I bought both 8” and 11” in May 2020, it’s April 2021 now and I’m throwing them away. I used the smaller 8” pan almost every day for eggs in the morning and the large 11” maybe every other day for sautéing and frying some other food.At first everything was fine, I use oil for cooking so the coating was nonstick as advertised. But after a month of everyday use the little pan became yellow and the coating started peeling off with the tiny flakes that are like melted plastic bags, I tried to take a close view of that. Totally unpleasant experience, since I don’t know how much of that plastic (advertised as stone) I’ve eaten so far. The large one held up a little longer since it hasn’t been used daily, but it’s the same - peeling off with plastic flakes on the inside, and the little pan is now bare aluminum as you can see in the pics, so everything sticks to it completely.They both seem even on the inside when not in use, but as soon as you turn the burner on, the bottom becomes uneven in the middle, it rises a little and the oil is distributed at the edges only. As for the heat distribution, the middle is also the hottest part, and if the 8” pan is mostly heated evenly, the large 11” pan is heated unevenly, and if you are doing pancakes or patties they are always over cooked in the middle and undercooked closer to the edge.But the worst part is the handle. It might seem safe to use since it doesn’t heat as much, but that’s only before the first wash in the dishwasher. It took me a while to figure out why the handle was easy to hold without anything at first and why I then burnt my hand a few times on it. That’s because it is hollow inside and flattened at the ends. If you place it with the handle up in the dishwasher, the water comes into the handle through the slit at the end and doesn’t come out until you don’t place it handle down. Then, if you had bad luck to collect some water inside the handle and start using the pan without letting it to drain for a while or without shaking it out (yes, I tried everything), the water starts boiling at some point and the handle - ba-dum-tss! - heats up to the temperature of boiling water. And there is also hot steam coming out of the slit at this moment. So be extremely careful when washing these pieces of cr... aluminium, as the handles are poorly designed what makes them dangerous to use. Not being mentioned they are advertised as non-heating handles, if I’m correct.So, these pans are not worth the money they cost.

I like this little pan a lot. I use it almost daily. I'm single so it's a great size for grilled cheese, morning eggs, pork chops and hamburgers. I even use it to steam broccoli. It's super easy to clean and the non-stick surface so far is perfect. It's heavy enough to distribute heat well. I like also that the handle and knob on the lid are metal and can take heat so can be used in the oven. The knob gets hot but that's what hot pads are for. Will have to wait and see how the non-stick coating holds up over time.Update 5/2025: The coating didn't hold up as well as expected so had to discard pan. It started de-laminating and flaking and I don't want to ingest this stuff. Also, the bottom of the pan is not flat so oil and in particular eggs immediately head toward the outside of the bottom of the pan. Not a deal killer for an inexpensive pan, but I've now found other similarly priced pans with flat bottoms. No, I wouldn't buy this pan again.
