DELARLO 12" Stainless Steel Three Layer Frying Pan - Fits All Hobs up to 600°F (360°C) Induction Frying Pan Oven Safe Non Toxic Cooking Surface 12.5" Heat

I am glad I bought this pan. The quality is just too good and I enjoy cooking with it. The pan heats up quickly and evenly. I had to learn how to cook with it as this was my first stainless steel pan and I used to use non-stick Teflon pans. This pan came with a how-to pamphlet which was very helpful. I got the 12 inch one which is very big but I'm quite happy with it. I didn't buy the pan with the lid as it was too expensive for me. I had to look for a 12 inch lid separately on Amazon. There weren't many options to look for unlike the readily available 10 inch pan lids. Maybe someday I'll get the 9 or 10 inch pan from this brand. I've become a fan! Don't hesitate to buy this pan. If you're looking for a stainless steel pan then this is the one you want!

Edit Feb 2024: Got a gas stove, and I have to give credit where it's due, this pan is NICE! I tested the heat uniformity and it does pretty well edge to edge, making cooking protein + sauce a dream. Throw 10 chicken thighs in, or throws 2 steaks in, let it do it's thing and have the confidence of knowing that it will cook evenly. I love that you can also just take it straight from pan to oven if you're looking to finish dishes off slow. Original review early 2023: Pan looks and feels great to use. Upon inspection, it appears to be somewhere around 2 - 2.5mm thick. The problem? My pan has warped slightly due to it's incompatibality with typical glass/ceramic-top stoves. I can probably hammer it straight since it's very minor, but I now know that a 12 inch clad pan belongs on a gas stove. In all fairness, I think that I did not research my purchase well enough. This pan cannot distribute the heat from a 6 inch electric stove plate effectively, causing the centre to become signficantly hotter than the edges (about 20% when measured). As a result, it risks warping at medium-high temperatures (searing chicken/steak). non-clad pans with thicker sandwich bottoms (say 5-10mm) are less likely to warp on an electric stove. So, AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART, if you would like a clad pan for your 6-8 inch electric stove, stick to an 8-10 inch pan or buy a gas hob. If you need a bigger pan for your electric stove, purchase a good quality encapsulated bottom pan (for reference, my 30cm Tramontina Solar casserole heats quite evenly on my 6 inch plate).

I've been in search of a good quality stainless steel pan that's tri-ply and with a superior food-grade type of stainless steel, plus a price that's not crazy high. This is that pan that I've been looking for. Yes it's not All Clad or Made In brand but the quality it this is undeniable. You still have to learn how to use it well and maintain it just like all other high quality pans. This made our cooking more enjoyable and much safer than Teflon type of pans/skillet. Get yours now and you won't regret it.

Good quality Pan. If you are looking for a first stainless pan, I recommend this one

Looks great but sticks terribly! Eggs glued to the surface even with oil, making cleanup a pain. Discolors after a few uses—disappointing for a stainless steel pan at this price.

I’ve been wanting to switch from non-stick to stainless steel for a while now, but I didn't want to drop $200 on a single pan. This DELARLO skillet has been a total game-changer in my kitchen. The tri-ply construction is legit—it has a nice, heavy weight to it and heats up incredibly evenly on my glass stovetop. No more "hot spots" where the middle burns while the edges stay cold. The 12.5-inch size is perfect for a family of four. I can easily sear four large chicken breasts at once without overcrowding the pan. Speaking of searing, the crust you get on steaks with this thing is restaurant-quality. Because it's oven-safe up to 600°F, I love that I can start a dish on the stove and finish it under the broiler without worrying about ruining the handle. A quick tip for anyone new to stainless: make sure you use the "water drop test" to ensure it’s hot enough before adding oil, and your food won't stick! It cleans up surprisingly easily with a little Bar Keepers Friend, and it still looks brand new after a month of heavy use. If you want a durable, nontoxic pan that feels like it’ll last a lifetime, this is a fantastic investment.

Really good 👍

(+): This is non-stick. Don't believe the others who say it isn't, they're most likely new (like I was) to this type of cooking and are just not heating up the pan correctly. The handle doesn't get hot. It's light weight, especially for a 12" pan. Goes easily into the oven. Easy to clean. Big and deep enough for soups. It's a smoothe surface all around; it doesn't have that seam at the bottom like with other pans; that's were they stick a steal/aluminum disk of thin/non-induction pans. (-): It's warped, so it doesn't lay flat. It doesn't feel like it's durable enough to last years from wear and tear. The bad heat distribution; I measured ~10F difference from the middle to the outside of the pan (this most likely has to do with the warping). I unfortunately noticed this when the first thing i tested was pancakes (the inside was done, but the outside was still practically batter. Luckily, it was easy to clean. Even though, the warping and therefore heat distribution is really the only thing (i guess it can count as two) negative, it's a big deal to me when it comes to cooking. Guess, i'll have to give in and go with the All Clad; I was hoping to avoid that, but if you want something that will last even in famous 5-star kitchens and is considered the industry standard (like Vitamix and KitchenAid), you go with what they recommend. I do recommend this pan for those who are new to this type of cookware and want a cheaper option.
