Daily Chef 12" Restaurant Fry Pan

The pan was exactly as expected and what we wanted. It cooks evenly and nothing has stuck to it yet. The metal is reasonably thick and heavy, but that is what enables the pan to cook evenly! I am 76 and my wife is 71, and we have no trouble handling this pan.

I normally would rate these pans as a 5 but the last pan I purchased was slightly misformed, there was a 3 inch section of the rim that was flat, like a dent. The performance of the pan is still great but you don't get a seal with a lid. I'm tough on these pans using high heat to sear meat a lot and these pans hold up well. They also heat up evenly and clean up easily.

Cooks evenly, no stick. Easy clean up, like reeeally easy clean up usually only needing a dry paper towel easy. Only thing I would consider changing is the handle length. Its really long, I suppose so that you can keep a safe distance from flame.

Great Product. I own 6 of them. they truly are chef quality. they work great on my gas stove. you can pull off the silicone handle cover and finish cooking the food in the oven. Absolutely nothing sticks to them. They last for many years. Heavy and durable. They will not warp like most that you buy at department stores.

Lot of reviews of other pans... "everything sticks", "flakes off", "chips", "handle too hot"...like wading through a sea of bad manufacturing. I finally stumbled on this from a 3rd party review site and its been fantastic and much less inexpensive than other options. Just remember... safe scour sponges only, no dishwasher, and don't crank up the heat. This applies to ALL non-stick pans. Remember the 3 cardinal rules and this baby will last you forever.

Nice, heavy pan. I've used it several times in the last week and it's handled various sautes and stir fry dishes well. Have to take a little extra care to clean around the bolts but the non-stick cleans really easily. I was worried the silicone sleeve on the handle would be difficult to remove so the pan could be oven safe but it's surprisingly easy - doesn't slip off though.I am not a person who tends to handwash her dishes but this one's been so easy to clean I haven't bothered putting it in the dishwasher.

This is the best non-stick that I've ever bought and the price can't be beat. Works for everything. Can't wait to get the larger (14") size.

We bought the reaally, really expensive scanpans that didn't even last a year before all the coating started peeling. We then bought this pan in all the sizes. Works great and no problems or peeling yet. We use the normal precautions (as we did with the previous super expensive pans) - no metal utensils, etc.
