• Premium stainless-steel cookware with solid stainless-steel riveted handle provides efficient and even heat distribution which makes sticking and burning less likely; premium steel blend resists pitting and scorching to maintain its lustre over time
  • Close-fitting lid holds in moisture which locks in flavors and nutrients as you cook
  • Season the skillet using any type of oil to make it non-stick; in order to avoid sticking and achieve the best results, heat the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes before adding oil to cook
  • Stainless steel cooking surface maintains its color, doesn't react with food or alters flavors
  • The skillet is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning

I love this skillet. It has a heavy bottom, heats very evenly, and retains the heat as well. I've cooked protein, heavy sauces, and even stews in it and it cooks beautifully and easy to clean. It is definitely much bigger than I thought but that's totally fine since it allows me to cook for 2-4 persons. Highly recommend it. One thing I would definitely keep an eye on is the glass lid. The seal between the glass and the metal has an opening and water can get trapped in there. Haven't experienced it yet but I can imagine that overtime the water will rust the lid if it's not clean and dried properly. However, with any serious kitchenware, it comes with the territory of basic maintenance i.e. clean and dry pans.

Very beautiful and useful stainless steel products. I have a skillet and sauce pan and they both work very great. Easy to cook vegetables in skillet and rice in sauce pan and easy to clean too. As they have thick bottom,food doesn’t get sticked or burnt easily. I tried the popular brand but they are not as easy as these pans. I wish they have small fry pan too and little deeper skillet.but over all i love this products so i bought another piece for gift. I am using them daily. Highly recommended!!

Best skillet I've had. I bought it to replace a smaller nonstick skillet and a ceramic coated one of the same size. This deals with heat much better. If food gets stuck you can just boil water and that takes care of it.

I've used this once but was pleased with how things didn't stick like I thought they would. I did put some olive oil in it and heated it for about 3 minutes before I put meat in it. I like it as well or better than my non-stick pans and that is because I don't have to worry about scratching the bottom or the sides of the pan. I can use stainless steel metal cooking tools for flipping and I can't in my coated pan. High sides are great. The handle is a little short compared to my other pans but it doesn't cause a problem.

I bought this as a present for my husband, who enjoys cooking as much as I do. He loves it and so do I! It makes cooking even more of a pleasure. I have always bought non-stick pans before and I'd never had a stainless steel pan. This required a different style of cooking than I'm used to. For the first week or two, my food stuck to the bottom and burned. Oooh, I would groan at the ruined food and the hard scrubbing I would have to do! But, wowza, does this thing clean easily!! It doesn't even need a scrub! You know those commercials where you just wipe it out under water? THIS is that in real life, even with burnt food. I love the clean-up! It's the easiest pan to clean that I've ever had. As for the burnt food, that's no fault of the pan. I'm just used to cooking with non-stick pans, which don't require preheating or anything like that. So I googled some tips about how to cook with this pan, and after a couple of trials and errors, it's second nature. I highly highly recommend this pan: -It cooks evenly. -The sides slope up nicely, with enough of a slant that there aren't tough grooves. -It's deep, which is a bit of a luxury. -The glass lid is pretty and clear and also easy to clean. -Surprisingly, the handle of the pan does not get hot. I thought I would have to use a potholder on it, but it's great! -It's a beauty. look at that thing! Only con: -It's heavier than I'm used to so for those who use one had to hold and pour, while the other is scooping things out with a spatula, it'll take a little bit of muscle. Is it REALLY a con though? After a couple of weeks, my arm adjusted to the weight. -If you're not used to cooking in a stainless steel pan, you'll have a bit of a trial & error period. Google how to do it and you'll adjust soon enough.

Well, I am very impressed with this 12 inch Stainless Stir FRY Pan! It is very heavy duty and plenty deep. It is deep enough for frying chicken, fish etc or even making graves or sauces. It is exactly what I was looking for. So I use it for making my healthy veggie Frittata, making spaghetti sauce, even stews! This is my go to 12 inch frypan! My favorite thing is that the bottom is plenty wide, I can easily fry 3 large eggs. Below I list the PROS and personal experiences with this pan: 1) Getting this pan to be NON stick: So I went to YouTube and found a video about how to get a Stainless Pan to be NON STICK. I found this instructional video by typing in the searchbox: How to Season a Stainless Steel Pan Advanced After watching that video, I followed the directions and now my pan is NON STICK much like my old Teflon pans were when they were new (and unscratched) ! *** Note: Seasoning this pan is essential to getting it to be NON stick. And preheating it before adding oil also keeps it NON stick. 2) Cooking: > I first preheat the pan on medium high for 45 seconds to 1 minute BEFORE I add my olive oil. Then I cook on medium, never high. I add a bit more oil if needed. I never cook on HIGH, instead, I use medium to medium high, but never high because the food never STICKS and it seals in the flavor. > I never take my eyes off this pan while food is cooking. > Also, I turn the heat off during the last minute of cooking, and food is just right and the food is very flavorful. I use it for frying, stews, spaghetti sauce, and I even used it for making a large omelette. Also, my fried eggs or Frittata never STICKS as they come right out of this pan. 3) Cleaning this pan: To keep the NON STICK after seasoning, I wipe the pan with paper towel and then I rinse the pan in hot water. Then I wipe it dry with soft dishcloth. The glass lid I wash with hot water, sometimes I wash in dishwasher. 4) Cover let's me see the progress of my dish. Also I love that it has a vent. Now about the seasoning...How often do I season it? I season it about every three to four weeks or if I notice foods begin to stick. Would I purchase this pan all over again? Yes, in a heartbeat because now I prefer it over my old Teflon or Ceramic pans. Well, I hope that my review has helped you in your decision about possible purchase of this pan. I highly recommend this pan.

We are more than pleased with this stainless skillet. It is deep enough to cook for a family. Heating it to cooking temp before using truly does make it non-stick. The handle does not heat up, which is a plus. Love the see-through lid. We have the expensive cookware too but this is way better and easier to clean. Amazing price for this wonderful product.

I've used this skillet most every day for a couple of years--it's my go-to. I have more expensive cookware--Calphalon, Cuisinart, Analon. This is every bit their equal--much to my surprise. I bought it just because I needed a skillet this size at a time when my budge was tight and thought it would "do." It's much more than that. I'm especially impressed with heat distribution, ease of cleaning, and lack of impurities in the steel. In my experience, these knock-offs from Chine often have impurities that turn black or other colors once you use them. That doesn't really hurt, but it's ugly. This pan--none of that. It cleans up very easily with a bit of Barkeep's Friend.

This is one of the best purchases in cookware I have ever made. Talk about a deal for the money, this is it. It's heavy but I wanted heavy, the lid is awesome and it takes licking. I have had this skillet for 2 weeks and so far I have cooked, pancakes, pork chops with sweet potatoes in it, made fried rice and roasted a chicken. I am new to stainless so I did a bit of research on how to use it properly and it has not disappointed. When some things got a little bit sticky I have used an SOS pad and it cleaned very easily. Most of the time I am simply using a sponge and hot water. That's it. Cleans up nicely. Still looks brand new and I have used it daily. Going from stove top to oven in a snap. I just love this thing and for the price it cannot be compared. I have looked around at the stores and other than spending over $100, this pan is in line with much more expensive counterparts. I just wish there was a stainless egg pan made by this manufacturer, if so, I would definitely purchase it. I am currently using a ceramic pan that is in need of being replaced soon and only the expensive ones seem to have good reviews. So my search for that on continues.

It is not fully stainless steel. It does not say anywhere that there is an aluminum disc at the base. The aluminum base is actually a good thing as it helps distribute the heat throughout the pan. Stainless steel is a poor thermal conductor, while aluminum is a good one, but it's strange that they did not advertise this. Giving 5 stars because, while they did not state that the base is aluminum, it is in no way a bad feature to have. The pan is pretty thick and has some weight to it. Feels very durable. The handle does not get too hot while cooking. I can hold it with bare hands no problem. The lid seems durable as well with a pretty thick glass. For the price, you can't get a better 12 inch SS skillet and lid.
