Don’t wast time with the advertised brands

Let me start by being not so kind about another product. There’s this other brand that advertises being so slick you could slide into Kim Kardashian’s DMs successfully without Kanye noticing. However, after the first use, it was scratchier than my dad’s wool blanket from Yellowstone Park circa 1959. What I’m saying is: I had been burned in the past - which led to many burned pancakes (and subsequently letdown 4 and 7 year olds). Fast forward past 4 weekends of inconsolable rage. I took fate in my own hands. Or... Googled the best non-stick cookware. #1 was a $90 competitor to this one at #2 for a reasonable price. And it was worth it. When I say worth it - I mean VIP at Disney worth it... not splurge on the good seats on Spirit Airlines worth it. Best $25ish I’ve ever spent. Pancakes slide off this thing like a freshly polished Publix floor. Eggs are less likely to stick to this pan than I am to stick to watching reruns of “This is Us” with my wife. Cleaning is easier than passing third grade in a North Carolina public school. I will advise: go through the “seasoning” process of adding oil / wiping it clean after the first several uses. Sounds absurd and inappropriate, but it makes a difference. I would recommend this to everyone I know... and everyone I don’t - which is 99.999999999999% of Amazon memberships.

The Best Nonstick Frying Pan Ever For Everyday Cooking & Sautéeing

Excellent nonstick pan by T-fal company. This is my go-to frying pan for omelets, pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, browning potstickers, sautéed vegetable and fish filet. I have had the same pan for many years and I only need to replace one after 2 or 3 years of using almost everyday. I only use plastic or silicon turners & tongs to cook. I noticed overheating without any food on the pan is the most damaging the nonstick coating. If you take good care of the pan, then it will probably last longer. I never put this pan to our bosch dishwasher and it cleans so easily with warm soapy water and soft sponge. Hardly anything stick to the pan if you keep the surface not damaged by metal utensils. I highly recommend to this pan over any other brand for everyday use. I believe America Test Kitchen has tested this particular pan and reviewed a multiple times that it's the best one available for consumers.

Perfect Nonstick Fry Pan

Love this pan, have owned it for almost five months at the time of this review, and we use it almost every day. Be aware the 8" is not at the bottom of the pan, but at the top. More than two eggs will begin to get crowded, though I've done four on occasion (very crowded). But as that was what I was after, and knew it when I bought it, that wasn't a problem. A lot of food has passed across the pan over the past few months, mostly eggs, sausage, or omelettes, but also pork chops, hamburger patties, steak strips, boneless chicken breasts, grilled cheese sandwiches, onion/peppers (on many occasions), asparagus tips, and much more. Still 100% non-stick, still works great!

T-fal Professional 12” Fry Pan

So far, so good. I followed the manufacturer’s instructions for preparing the pan before its first use (washing and seasoning). I use the pan on low to medium heat, unless I’m boiling water or reducing liquids. In that case I use medium high to high heat. I only use a wooden spoon or nylon spatula with it. It’s a breeze to clean. Nothing sticks. The handle stays cool, which is nice. I think the reviewers having bad experiences with this awesome pan are probably ignoring the instructions in the little manual that comes with the pan. High heat, not seasoning it before its first use, using metal utensils, and not seasoning after every tenth or so use will cause the issues the naysayers are describing. This is a wonderful pan and a good value, IF you heed T-fal’s directions.

Great Pan

I'll admit that I purchased this based on the recommendation from America's Test Kitchen, and it hasn't disappointed me at all. The pan seems to distribute heat pretty evenly; although it has made me realize that my stove isn't level. Eggs and other items I've cooked in this have been easy to slide around with minimal sticking. It's also easy to clean with a sponge. So far it seems resistant to scratches; although I've been pretty careful and only using soft nylon or soft plastic spatulas with it.

I'm glad I tried it - this little pan is *perfect* ...

I have a larger version of this that worked well as a general go-to nonstick pan (I don't use nonstick all that often - mostly for eggs...). After a while, all nonstick pans need to be replaced - it's just the nature of the beast. I grabbed this without paying enough attention, not expecting it to be the small size it is. I opened the box and laughed at myself for my mistake, but figured I would try it rather than pay to send it back. Well, I'm glad I tried it - this little pan is *perfect* for whipping up breakfast. 2 eggs scrambled or 2 over easy fit perfectly inside; and its easy to whip out a perfect omelette with no effort. The size and sloped sides make this my new go-to nonstick pan (especially seeing as eggs are what the other 12" was used for most of the time!) - you can knock out a breakfast for 1 or 2 in a matter of minutes. And as with all of the pans in this collection, they really are a good nonstick surface - things will slide right off. I'm tempted to pick up a spare or two for when this inevitably needs to be replaced in the future...

The best non stick pan I've ever used.

This is the second T-Fal pan I've bought. The first one lasted about 7 years before the non-stick surface gave out. I have no reason to think this one will be any less durable. It also seems to be the most non stick of any of this type pan I've ever used but I'm going on memory so I can't promise that's correct. It has more heft to it than most aluminum pans this size and I think that's a good thing. I've had other pans that you have to get them half full before they make solid contact with the stove. If I were going to find any fault with it is that it's a bit on the shallow side but that's really a nitpicky complaint.

Still going strong after 5 years of daily use.

Purchased 12/2012 from Amazon Use it almost every day for sauteing or frying. Pop it into dishwasher daily. Showing signs of aging, but still very usable and still nonstick - see photos 5 stars for quality and durability. Will buy again, eventually.

The Legend of T-Fal contiues!!

When I say this is our 3rd T-fal pan that may not sound like a rave (why is it wearing out?) but we love this! As a couple expert reviews pointed out this will not be a forever pan. After 5 years of near-daily use our last one was ready for retirement. It was never chipping and was still mostly non-stick at 5 years old but it also had warped and was just not the star it used to be. But that was after 5 years of heavy use. How can I complain? The final straw for the last pan was when I forgot it was on the stove and a sauce burned until the pan was dry. This took a toll on the finish - but again, that is my missuse and comes after 5 years of heavy use!! There is the heat spot which tells when the pan is heated. Seems to work really well but by year 5 if won't be quite so sensitive. But who cares! My year 5 you know your pan really well. We just came off having one of the Green Pans. It was no competition. The T-fal is not the temperamental, high-maintenance product as Green Pans- food just slides right out and the pan is incredibly easy to use. Get one if you need one.

This is my favorite non-stick pan!

This is my favorite non-stick pan! I have a small one (8") that is perfect for crepes, but the 10.25" is perfect for our pancakes, eggs, and just about everything else! We have a gas stove, and I've found if I go much bigger than 10", items in the pan don't heat evenly. I love that the center changes when the pan reaches temperature, and it really is a true non-stick. This is my 3rd one (including the 8" that I still use), and I don't think I'll ever buy a different one. Thank you, T-fal! Disclaimer: I am not the best cook, so I have a tendency to throw pancake batter on a still-too-cold pan, and then leave food in the pan a bit longer than they probably should be left (i.e. I burn things occasionally).
