I love this pan! I have had this now for a year and it still looks great and works great. I bought this to replace 2 pans I had: a large Calphalon non-stick hard-anodized fry pan with cover and an Emile Henri brassier. I had both several years. But the brassier was expensive and it had developed a hair line fracture when I switched to an electric stove top. The Calphalon non-stick surface started to lift up, as with every other Calphalon non-stick I had tried. They never seem to last very long. My Scanpan is going strong a year later and still looks great. When frying, it browns nicely. I usually use a little oil, but just a bit. I love frittatas and they come out great in this pan. I used my brassier to bake fish and make stews. Again, this Scanpan works beautifully for both. It can go from the stove top to the oven. And cleaning is pretty easy, with a few caveats. Generally, the non-stick surface works well and even burnt sticky stuff comes off pretty easily. I love the outside which does not stain, unlike the Calphalon anodized surface. Only 2 things that take effort. The bottom of the pan is stainless and can get discolored over time. But an occasional scrub with a Bon Ami or Bar Keeper’s Friend brightens it right back up. What drives me crazy is getting the top clean and streak free. It always looks like it’s greasy. I found a wipe with white vinegar after washing let’s me polish it up shiny. Now you can put Scanpan in the dishwasher, but mine is really large so I just wash it. Considering what I paid for this pot compared to the 2 it replaced plus how well it has performed, I would give it 10 stars if I could. Read more
Quality. Didn’t like I had to put the lid together. Read more
Scan Pan is worth the money. I have only several of their products lines and they all out perform! You get what you pay for with these. Very rarely a sale but the stand the test of time! My cast iron is great but heavy. These cook evenly and last forever before layers come apart. Not stick for years. Read more
Yes, this line of cookware is expensive. And yes, it is worth it. I have a gas stove, so I do not have a "must be level" issue. This pan just replaced 3 older pieces of cookware (I did keep my Revereware pan - sentimental). It heats and cooks evenly, uses less heat to cook completely, and cleans up like a dream. The manufacturer says this can go in the dishwasher, but I do not do that with my good pans. I have decided to replace all of my old cookware with Scanpan items. Read more
Another excellent Scanpan addition. This one is significantly deeper than the regular fry pan series, so it is perfect when you are dealing with multiple ingredients and need room to stir without flinging everything out into the kitchen. Quick to heat up, even cooking, and fast clean up. Handles are nice too. Read more
There is NOTHING I like the least about this Scanpan. Just prior to purchasing it, I purchased a complete set if AllClad Copper Core. I just wish I would have found this treasure first. It is well worth the money. NOTHING sticks in it. It simply wipes out with a paper towel, then a quick wash and it's ready to dry and put away. Water even rolls up on it for easy drying. Read more
This is fantastic and so versatile! Have you cooked large portions of meals in this. Sincerely, so glad I bought this large 12".5 SCANPAN. Excellent quality PAN! This SAYS IT ALL! Read more
Love everything about this pan. I love that it does not have a large handle but two small ones. I live in a small space, RV. I use this pan almost on a daily basis. Very versatile. Read more
