10" Springform Cake Pan with a Glass Base



cooking marvelous is NOT
The pan is less than good in quality. The supplier cooking marvelous.co.uk is less than poor in shipping skills. The first one arrived in a dented torn box. My first impression was that the box was not large enough to cushion a glass pan or strong enough to stand up to shipping with other packages. My impression proved right. When I opened the box I found a dented and creased rim on the pan. I contacted cooking marvelous and told them about the problem and explained that I thought the dent happened because the box was below adequate. A second pan was shipped. However, it was shipped in an identical too small and too weak box. I opened it to find a dented rim. However, since the pan is below standard material I pressed the dent out and will try using the pan. It leaks when filled with water. I am hoping that a cheesecake crust being somewhat slid will seal the pan and keep it from leaking. If I lookfor other suplies through Amazon, I will not order from cooking marvelous.

Winco Stainless steel Fry Pan Cover For 12 Pan



Size
Actually this item is good quality but, I measured the inside of my frypan which was 12 inches (inside diameter) and the lid does not fit.

12" fry pan lid
This review is for the stainless steel lid for the Winco 12" fry pan reviewed elsewhere. This lid fits both models of 12" fry pan that Winco produces. I bought this lid separately since Amazon wasn't stocking it at the time. The lid actually arrived before the fry pan, and at first I thought I had received the pan -- the lid is quite heavy. It's almost flat (slightly raised in the center) so that cooking juices will drip back into the pan. Exterior diameter is 13 1/8" so it fits the fry pan perfectly. The lip is raised nearly 1/2" and the internal diameter (the part that goes inside the pan) is 12 1/2", again fitting the fry pan perfectly. There's a solid stainless handle welded to the top, about 6" long and raised 2". No effort was made to prevent the handle from getting hot, and it gets very hot, so you'll need a hotpad or mitt to remove the lid. In my opinion this is as it should be -- the lid gets quite hot because it makes uniform contact with the pan, which allows the...

fit my need perfectly
I bought this size pan to use in a smoker. A full size pan was not large enough ans a half size was too small. Delivery and packaging was as expected.

BC Classics BC-98036 Heavy Duty Paella, 16-Inch Diameter



Good paellera
Item as described, fast shippment. I have been looking for a 16 inches heavy duty paellera and this item was a good match. This paellera does not have a lid, but it is a good quality for the price.

Paellera
I got my paellera in less than a week. It was protected as if LATIN TOUCH had send it to a family member. LATIN TOUCH also made sure by e-mail to let me know when they send it out and through what company they send it out by. They even included a track number. After I received it, they made sure I received it with no problems. I look forward to ordering more products from LATIN TOUCH.

Unusual Use
I needed to make a huge pie and couldn't find any huge pie pans. This has gentle sloping sides and metal handles that go into the oven... it actually worked great!!!

Berndes EcoFit Pearl Ceramic Coated Cast Aluminum 11-1/2-Inch Covered Saute Pan



Love this pan!
The ceramic is stronger and lasts much longer than other non stick coatings. Quality Berndes construction with a nice thick, heavy bottom. The lid is well constructed and fits well. A great addition to my kitchen.

pool quality
This item doesn't look like a new one, the box was opened. A poor quality coated with the ceramic, it's not worth it.

Woll Gordon's Choice Saute Pan with Lid and Detachable Handle 2.6 Quart 9.5 Inch



fantastic pan
This is a fantastic product. Usually I never trust pans endorsed by chefs. But Ramsey looks to me like a professional guy so decided to go for it after some research on the web.
I can tell you this is a pan absolutely should be in every kitchen. During the years I've built myself three separate kitchen sets: demeyere, staub and debuyer. I think a good non stick pan was necessary for some dishes (de buyere is a good alternative too also, very good for crepe and omelette, and fish also). So far my experience with it is amazing. This pan is the one that used to be called TitanPlus. One cm thickness. Superbe heat retention. It's non stick properties are unparalleled. Scratch resistant. No way you can scratch the coating of this pan.
I recommend this kind of pans to everyone. Trust me. You will absolutely agree with me.
After having tried it I decided to buy both a skillet and a saute

Bakers & Chefs 10" Nonstick Restaurant Fry Pan (2 Pack)



What a Wonderful Surprise
I had been researching 10" non-stick pans on Amazon. The next day I was in a big box store and came across the Bakers & Chefs 10" pan that I'd never heard of before. I am so pleased I took a chance with it as its performance is superb. After 6+ months of use the non-stick surface is like new and nothing sticks to it. From what I read you should not use aerisol spray oil on the pan as it can ruin the non-stick surface. I have used only olive oil or butter on ocassion, but usually don't use anything. Easy cleanup with a soapy sponge. Don't think you can go wrong with this purchase.

excellent product
wife says that it is an excellent nonstick fry pan; uses it every day and is happy, happy, happy with item.

Bakers & Chefs 10" Skillet
I've had one of these skillets for several months, now, got it from Amazon. Before buying, I did some research on the Eclipse non-stick coating. Standard industry Lab tests indicate that Eclipse is orders of magnitude better than previous non-stick coatings. I have to agree; this is the best skillet I've ever used; nothing sticks to it, it cooks evenly, eggs slide around as if they were on ice skates. It cleans up like new. I wipe it out with a paper towel, then rinse it out with hot water, and a dishrag (no soap, ever), even the raw aluminum outside surface. The pan is a good weight, good balance, it feels good in your hands, you can flip things easily, even things, like pancakes, that stick to some other pans.

I bought these two, one for each of my daughters; they tell me that they love the pans...and me. I give Bakers & Chefs an A+ for the design (sides are sloped, so you can easily flip the contents), construction (three burly rivets hold the cast Stainless Steel handle...

BergHOFF Geminis Frying Pan, 10"



BergHOFF Geminis Frying Pan
Not too shabby for the price. Pretty pleased with the quality overall. It is nice, sturdy and heavy. If you take care of it, use wooden utensils, hand wash it & follow all the care instructions it truly is a great pan. I decided to go with "It's okay" because of all the babying this pan does require. I would recommend this item stating the required care it will need & I did purchase another one.

Extremely uneven heating
The center of this pan gets much hotter than the outer portion. Things burn easily and stick. Not good for everyday things.

Baker's Secret Nonstick Christmas-Tree Holiday Pan



wonderful pan
last christmas I made fruit cakes in this pan . I decorate the x'mas tree cake nicely, It was lovely. Cake didn't stick,or overflow as the previous reviewer said, I think this is best for friut cake. other cake mixture may overflow.It can easily hold 1 kg friut cake mixture. being it was a frit cake,the stem of the cake got the real tree colour. very nice.I am satisfied.

glad I only paid a few dollars
cheap.....doesnt hold much cake mix at all.first time I used it it overflowed in my oven and made a huge mess.Very tiny.wont hold a box of cake mix.save your money...gave two stars because it did not stick to pan otherwise would have given it one.

All-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel Sauté Simmer, 4-Qt.



Most valuable pan in the kitchen!
If you could only have one cooking utensil in kitchen, this sauté simmer would be it. Big enough to make stew, oven safe and versatile enough to cook an omelette on a camping trip.

All-Clad LTD2 8-Inch Fry Pan



Amazing pan- for a few years (don't believe the warranty)
I loved this pan and used it frequently for many years. In the past two years I've noticed some flaking of the non-stick coating. I went to their website and read about many flaking issues actually just being hardened food particles so I dutifully scrubbed with baking soda to no avail. I finally decided i would send it back but received the following via email from All-Clad:
"Most instances when the non-stick coating has lost its' non-stick properties, it is due to overheating of the pan. Cookware with non-stick coatings should be used on low to medium heat settings. Due to the superior quality of All-Clad cookware the cookware will heat up quicker and retain the heat. One indication that your pan has been overheated is that your non-stick has turned a brown or rusty color. Overheating of the non-stick coating will cause the non-stick properties to break down. As a result you will find that foods are sticking to the cookware. Overheating voids the warranty. You may try...

Love the LTD2 line
I got this as a Warehouse deal from Amazon and didn't really notice any defects with it. The nonstick surface is great - it's a bit rougher texture than my old Calphalon pans. Not sure how that helps performance, but it's definitely effective. Love the long handle. This is a heavy duty pan.

UPDATE:
I've been using the pan for about a year now, and I've noticed the outer coating has worn away slightly in spots where it's prone to abrasion. Also, hardened grease doesn't seem to clean very easily from the outside surface, and I'm nervous to use my barkeeps friend cleaner on it. I will probably stick to the stainless varieties from now on.

It Warps
I'm a big fan of All-Clad cookware. I own several types (LTD, Stainless, copper core). None of them have given me any trouble except for this skillet. The outside warps after only a few uses so that the pan wobbles and won't sit flat. I've replace it several times but with each pan the same results occur. Very disappointing because otherwise it is an excellent pan. The handle is comfortable, the outside is very scratch resistant, the pan is thick and heavy and heats very evenly. I think that All-Clad has a problem with the LTD2 line. It they can fix it they will have a winner. Right now though, I'd avoid it.

Berndes Nonstick Specialty Series 9.5 Inch Skillet



Avoid this skillet
We owned a Berndes skillet that we loved and used daily for 15 years until it finally fell apart. We purchased a replacement that did not last 15 months until the coating blistered and peeled. When we contacted the US distributor we were told that we would have to ship them the pan (we pay for postage and packing materials), and pay them non-refundable $15, and then they would let us know if they would honor the warranty. Sadly, the poor quality and warranty administration adds up to a pass on Berndes' products.

Love It
Skillet - 9.5" - Non-stick
It's wonderful. I love it. I've been using Berndes pans for several years and think they are absolutely the best available. They are lightwieght, they heat evenly, and instantly react to a change in the gas flame.

Avoid the "Specialty" line
Berndes cookware is among the very best, but the Specialty line was cheap, shoddy, and mass-produced in China. I bought the 9.5 in. skillet and the handle literally fell off after only three months of use. Buy the Coquere or Signocast lines instead. Worth the extra $$!

All-clad D5 Stainless Steel 6 Quart Essential Pan with Lid



Amazing pan!
I was going to buy the 6 quart sauté pan but saw this pan in the Williams Sonoma store. This a huge pan and when placed side by side with the sauté pan-this one is the winner hands down. Last night I had my stock pot in use and needed to boil two pounds of potatoes for a potato salad. I filled this pan 2/3 full with water and added the potatoes and it worked beautifully. This pan is 6 1/2 inches deep and 13 1/2 inches round and 11 inches on the bottom. It is great to sauté, fry, or boiling. This pan is huge and if you want a large pan this is the one, but if you want a moderate size pan, i would recommend the same pan but the 4 quart version. If you want a pan that can do a lot, I highly recommend this pan.

Handy little size to have around, but was slightly disappointed that they were not very heavy. However, they were not overpriced, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Vollrath 68121 Domed 11" Aluminum Stir Fry Pan Cover



just okay..
It slips inside the rim of the wok ... it doesn't rest on top like a normal lid... so there will be stress on the nonstick in the first couple of mm on the top of the wok... I like the high dome..
handle is kind of goofy.. lack of two point tacking prevents it from being hung with an s hook
I do love the high dome..
but otherwise... not well thought out.
might buy again... might just use another lid that fits like I'd been doing

Universal Housewares Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Chicken Fryer



Universal Housewares Pre-seasoned Cast Iron Chicken Fryer
It's an OK product for frying but I have similar size Lodge Logic and Logic is thicker and more well made than this product. I will just use it for camping outdoors and keep my Lodge fryer in my kitchen. I suggest you buy Lodge Logic and you will be more happier trust me.

Somewhat better than a Lodge
I ruined my beloved Lodge Logic Chicken Fryer a few weeks back: I accidentally left it wet with the cover on, and it started to rust. As you may know, the Lodges are sand-cast resulting in a sort of pebbled surface all over. Attractive, but very hard to properly season into a flat mirror-like surface. But worse, if it rusts, it's very hard to get all the rust out of the little dimples without strong chemical help. To be honest, I just threw it out.

Enter the Universal Housewares Chicken Fryer. To start with, the surface is pretty much flat inside and out -- no pebbling. It's also slightly larger than the old Lodge, but it does seem to be made a little cruder than the Lodges (lid handle asymmetrical, a mere tab instead of a second handle).

It arrived, like many Cast Iron Skillets, with some sort of protective coating (probably wax-based). So I did have to wash it quickly with hot water and soap to get down to the actual factory seasoning. It sort of looked...
