Good But Not Perfect
The Non-Stick pan is above average, but not as good as the Emeril Stainless steel pan. I figured it would be the same pan with an Anodized/non-stick coating on it, but I was mistaken. It does not heat as evenly around the pan as the stainless steel Emeril pan, nor is it as heavy duty. The non-stick portion is pretty good, but it will scratch VERY easily (just like any non-stick I think). However, it is a decent pan and far better than any generic/disposable pan you would get at Walmarts or Sears. I would say it is about the same quality as a mid-range Calphalon pan. Which is surprising, because this pan is actually made by All-Clad. For he price you can't go wrong. I certainly wouldn't pay over $40 for the pan though. If you are looking to pay more than that, I would recommend a Higher end Calaphalon or All-Clad pan.
In short, you would be hard pressed to find a better non-stick pan for $40 or less. However, you can get better quality if your willing to fork out the bucks...
base too narrow, undersized for 12 inch
First one showed up with broken glass lid. Second one arrived a week later.
I have used this about a month, I use it about 3 or 4 times a week. Coating is already showing signs of wear. My old cheapy 12 inch was a full 12 inches at the top edge, the inside was 10 and a quarter inches. This unit immediately curves in to 11 and a half inches where the lid sits, and is only about 8 and a half inches where the food sits. That's a chinzy design for a $40 skillet. I would not buy this again.
excellent pan
I have been using this fry pan ever since it arrived, and I like it very much. It cleans beautifully and cooks evenly. The only negative is that the handle does heat up if you are cooking a long time, so you have to be careful. But I am very satisfied nonetheless.
