I purchased both the 10-inch and 12-inch CAROTE non-stick frying pans, and they’ve been very practical for everyday cooking. The non-stick granite coating works extremely well. Eggs, omelets, and other foods release easily with very little oil, which makes cooking and cleanup simple. I’ve used the smaller pan mostly for eggs and quick meals, while the 12-inch pan is perfect for larger portions or family-style cooking. Both pans heat evenly and quickly, and they work well on my induction cooktop. I haven’t noticed any hot spots, and the food cooks consistently across the surface. Cleanup is easy — usually just a quick wipe or rinse is enough. The handle stays comfortable to hold, even when the pan is hot, which makes cooking more comfortable. Overall, these pans feel well-made and reliable, and having two sizes gives a lot of flexibility in the kitchen. A solid choice for anyone looking for non-stick cookware that’s easy to use and clean.

I am going to add my accolades to everyone else raving about this pan. Really happy with my purchase. First of all, the price paid was great. When it arrived, I was a little put out that the handle was not attached. But, after a quick look at the parts in the bag and the pan, installation was a no brainer, especially since the manufacturer included a screwdriver. I would happily do a 15 second install to pay less because the package is not so expensive to make and ship to the distributor. Secondly, the pan is lightweight, the handle stays cool during cooking and the non-stick worked like a dream. I did not baby this pan. I hand washed it thoroughly right after I put on the handle, and then used it immediately to cook up an extra large batch of Chicken Marsala which turned out great. The pan is a little deeper than my other 12", so it works well with one pan type dishes where you sauté and make a sauce all in one pan, but, it still fits in my skillet stack rack. Right after dinner, I put in into the bottom rack of my dishwasher and washed it. I pulled it out this morning, and it was perfect. I can't speak to how long the non-stick will last, but I have regretted buying more expensive pans that had to be thrown into recycling pretty quickly. So, for this price, I am happy so far!

I picked up the Carote 8" Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan for quick breakfast meals and small portions, and overall, it’s an awesome skillet that has been a great addition to my kitchen. 👍 The Good • Exceptional Non-Stick: The granite/ceramic non-stick coating is truly fantastic. Eggs slide right off with little to no oil, and cleanup is an absolute breeze—usually just a quick wipe with a paper towel is enough. • Even Heating: The pan heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly across the base, which is crucial for things like eggs and omelets. • Durable Build: The wood handle and granite make it feel like it's going to last a lifetime. • Great Value: For the price of the individual pan, you get a lot of quality and performance. 💰 Crucial Buyer's Tip: Pay for the Combo Set! Here is my one piece of advice for prospective buyers: You should just pay a little extra for the 5-Piece detachable handle combo set! Features the same thing, a great skillet for making eggs / quick breakfast. Read more
Pan is nice size and surfaces are great for cooking. The pans depth, for me, is a little too deep but not a deterrent. Cooks evenly on my Gas stovetop. I often flip foods and have not had any issues with sticking or difficulty flipping. A little heavier that I expected but not too heavy to be cumbersome. Time will tell how the surfaces will hold up to multiple cooking's and washings. So far a nice addition to replace some of my older weathered CALPHALON pans. Read more
Bought this pan to replace my aging Tefal that had started to develop scratches and dark spots. I did some research before settling into this type of pan and I must say I am so pleased with the purchase. The granite finish makes it a non stick and very durable pan so far. The pan is a bit bulkier than my Tefal but this is because it is of higher quality and being taller prevents splashing. It is my new go to pan and it is easy to use. It seems scratch resistant but I am not going to abuse it by using metal utensils and take a chance of damaging it. The handle is just right for the size of the pan. I have seen larger size handles on smaller pans but I prefer this one or it would make it too bulky to store. Cleaning it is a breeze! I always use water and some mild soap so food does not spoil the next meal I cook on it. It comes right off! All and all it is a perfect product and I highly recommend it. Thank you very much!

I am completely in love with this non stick skillet. The non stick coating is solid and so well done that I often wonder it's not a really a coating but the pan is made of this material in entirety. The wooden handle is ergonomic and very comfortable to hold. I love that there is no screw or rivet head inside the pan because they tend to accumulate food (and germs) over time. I have tried many different non-stick coatings in the past and most of them failed my 'egg test'. If an omelette or fried egg sticks to the pan if you don't use a lot of oil then it fails my test. On this pan, I can make an omelette with just a few drops of oil. Cleaning is very easy because no food sticks to it. That, in turn needs almost no hard scrubbing that will help with the longevity of the pan. Overall, amazing product and checks all the boxes for me. Read more
Awesome pan. Looking for something to replace my older non stick pans that is safer. This one seems to work well. Non stick with a minimal butter for flavor. Cleans with just a wipe. I hope it will last longer than ceramic! The 1-3 year life span of ceramic makes them a bit too expensive for me. This seems durable, flat with a descent weight to it. Overall happy Read more
