Product DescriptionAn aluminum core in the base of each piece offers fast, even heat distribution. Encapsulating this core with stainless steel means your cooktop, sink and counters are not as likely to get scratched. Soft Touch silicone provides the handles with greater comfort, as well as heat and slip resistance. This skillet has a non-stick interior, facilitating food release and clean up.
What Others Say
Excellent!
Two years ago for Christmas my husband purchased this pan for me after I gave him a few suggestions. We were so pleased with it's performance that for Christmas last year I bought him both the 12" and 10" skillet. We still use the pans nearly every day and I've not had any trouble with the non-stick. We even wash them in the dishwasher and use cooking spray in them with no problems. We treat them like any other dish and they have held up well. In fact, the ones we bought last year still look brand new.
Non-stick coating doesn't stay non-stick
Like others, I bought this pan based on early good reviews. The pan is big and heavy and heats very evenly. The rubber insert on the handle is nice, making it possible to pick up the hot pan without a pot holder.
The critical problem is in the failure of the non-stick coating to keep its properties. When I first bought the pan, it worked beautifully. However, after just six months, the coating was not performing as well as before. After a year, the pan is just like any other skillet, requiring a good coating of oil to prevent foods from sticking. The pan received only the recommended handling. No spray-on oils were used. The pan was always washed by hand, with only a sponge. Needless to say I'm disappointed that my "non-stick" pan ...

A MUST BUY
There are lots of nonstick skillets out there that go on an on about how great they are...etc, but you then find that they scratch easily...right? Well not with this one...this skillet is fantastic and IS nonstick. It cooks food beautifully and is a breeze to wash. It's a bit more expensive than your 'wal-mart' variety, but it's so worth the money. The nonstick finish is hard wearing and very durable. I've had this skillet for a few years and it's in the same condition as when I bought it. The matching lid is great and a perfect duo for any kitchen.
it's a STICK pan
I agree with a review by "Keith Bell" and a few others. I bought the pan two years ago, and don't have to wait that long before the pan started to lost its non-stick quality. I can't even cook an egg in it anymore. It stuck to the pan and looks like the surface of the moon. Even fish (with skin) stuck to the pan as well.
A Great Non-Stick Pan
We were led to this pan by Cook's Illustrated magazine, which reviewed them all (including All-Clad). This pan is a great, heavy weight. Perfect for even heat distribution and the surface is truly non-stick and durable. We use it every day. You may also want to order a glass lid for this pan
