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).

Bought it for the kids to practice cooking with but ended up loving it

Having kids we're trying to teach to cook, I bought this mainly as a distraction piece so they wouldn't mess with our other cookware. It worked, but it also impressed me tremendously! I still prefer cast iron for much of what we do, but, for me, having this even just for omelettes has been well worth the price. It's just been 2 months, so time will tell, but the non-stick properties are really amazing. I've never had omelettes slide out like on commercials. With the base, it has a nice heft, it's neither heavy nor flimsy and so far it has helped it withstand kids washing the skillet before it's fully cooled down. I haven't tested that it's supposedly ok with metal utensils, and I don't plan to. I also do not use cooking sprays but a little avocado oil and wipe it around before cooking. With any luck, this will preserve the non-stick properties and avoid the eventual burned on build up from cooking sprays that has ruined pieces before for us. It has been mentioned that the center is raised a bit, which is true, but it's how it is designed to be. I've made very thin omelettes on this without issue. I use an infrared thermometer when cooking to see that heat is distributed and monitor the temp. I've found this to heat as expected as compared to my cast iron, which I take to be an indication of shortcomings of my glasstop's burners. I rotated the skillet and it verifies that. The red decal that changes color when ready to cook does work well. It seems to go solid, reliably, right at 300°. It's only been 2 months, so it will be interesting to see how this holds up, but it does get used at least 5-7 times a week between all of us. Unfortunately for me, I see this listed today at $28, whereas I paid $33. The good news is that even at a higher price this would've been worth it. If my kids kill it somehow after a year or so, I'll likely get another one. With my luck, it won't be made anymore. Highly recommended.

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...

Pretty damn good, best nonstick frying pan I've used so far

I bought this pan about 4 years ago, and surprisingly, it's still working very well. The finish still mostly nonstick, though not as good as brand new. We haven't been babying the pan either, and the quality seems evident compared to another faberware skillet we purchased around the same time. The faberware pan has a bit of flaking all over the rim of the pan, this t-fal does not. And while the central surface of the faberware isn't peeling, it's much more prone to bonding to foods than the tfal. Overall, it's not perfect, but it's not expensive and has performed better than all my previous pans at higher and lower price points.

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.

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.

Very happy

I first purchased one for my son. I kept going back to it in my decision process. Not as heavy as hard anodized. There was something about the combined; medium weight, durability and comfort grip handle, I just couldn’t resist. So, gave it as a gift and he’s been pleased. I was needing a larger skillet, this heats up well, washes up easily and holds up to cooking demands. There’s what I’ll call a heating element, on the bottom (outside) of pan, believe it’s aluminum that really sold me. If they have it in the images look closely at them, see for yourself. I made BBQ chicken, for sandwiches yesterday, the inside of pan was coated with cooked on BBQ sauce. I did soak the pan in water and a drop of liquid dish soap for a few hours. Was completely delighted when I washed it with my soapy sponge at how easily and quickly it was clean. Was expecting to give it some time, it really took less than 5 minutes. I’ve been very happy with this purchase.

Nice Little Pan - A Tad Shallow

Overall I am a T-Fal fan. I have tried a lot of non-stick cookware in my long life and for me the T-Fal brand seems to hold up the longest. They all fail at some point so to expect the coating to last a lifetime is just unrealistic. Of course it depends on how often you cook and if you use the right type of utensils when cooking - I prefer wooden ones, but you will be replacing non-stick cookware at some point. It is just the way it is. That said, this is a nice little pan. It ended up being a little more shallow than I expected, but it's not a huge deal and does not take away from the five star rating. The base metal is very thick as is the handle material which stays cool to the touch when in use. It cleans up super easy as it should. I expect it will last quite a long time getting used 2-3 times a week. I have no hesitation recommending this pan to anyone looking for a good non-stick 8 inch pan.

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.

Great product!

First time I've gotten the set of three -- previously only have seen the 12 inch in this "professional" line. If anything, the non-stick coating is better than before. These pans are beautifully balanced and a pleasure to work with. Yes, the cooking oil tends to go to the perimeter (especially on the 12") but that is sometimes an advantage and other times is easily managed by tilting the pan or moving food around with a spatula. (And sometimes you don't need any oil at all -- salmon filets cook perfectly, slightly golden on the outside, with no oil added. They slide out of the pan.) I've been cooking with T-Fal Professional pans for about five years and wouldn't consider purchasing anything else. (I was not paid for this review, I don't have any connection to the company, and I didn't get any special deal. I just really like this product!)
