Scanpan Classic Ceramic Titanium 11-Inch Nonstick Fry/Omelet Pan Review

Scanpan Classic Ceramic Titanium 11 inch Nonstick Fry/Omelet Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We got a large sauce pan, 1 small and 1 medium size fry pans.

I was very excited the first time we got our Scanpans. I read about the new technology surrounding this product that supposedly to be non-stick for many years. Now, we only have the big sauce pan left. We have to throw away the 2 frying pans.

To give it some credit, they lasted a couple of years before it started to peel off (actually not peeling off like a teflon. It starts to have some tiny holes on the surface which grows in size as you use it. Then finally when we see the metal base, we got worried that pieces of those non-stick surface gets to our food that we decided it's time to get rid of it). The non-stick properties starts to wear off before it lasted a year.

Pros:
-heavy and thick to distribute heat evenly
-Handles are oven resistant so you can actually use it to cook in the oven
-Well made, great construction. Durable.

Cons:
-Not as non-stick as teflon. And non-stick properties continue to deteriorates as you use it. Approximately a year.
-Not a good value. For the price, it should last much longer.
-Not for induction cooking.

Scanpan Professional 9-1/2-Inch Fry/Omelet Pan Review

I have had a set of Scan Pans for many years now, and bought this one because I needed a small egg frying pan that was as great of quality as my Scan Pans. I was delighted! For the first time in 20yrs, I can flip my egg without breaking the yoke! And it is just the perfect size to fry up bacon and eggs for 2!

Also, the handle on this type of pan is what you will want if you have any wrist problems like I do.Spend a little extra for this professional version because it does make a difference.

Just a note about this company, one of the other pans from my set purchased years ago when the product first came up had a few very small dings of some sort on the inside. None of the other pans had this and I was not sure how they got there. Well, after I bought this pan, I decided to contact Scan Pan and ask about my other one. They said to just send it back in to the warranty dept and they would be happy look at it. ( I did not even have a receipt because I had them so long )

Within a short amount of time, I had a new pan of that type (but updated since the other was older model) on my doorstep.

This is a company of their word! And these pans are worth every single penny of the purchase price!!!

All-Clad Stainless-Steel Fry Pan Review

After getting the 10-inch version of this pan, I found a great deal on the 8-inch pan and picked it up for smaller jobs in the kitchen.This was a great decision.

8 inches *is* small for a lot of cooking and this shouldn't be your primary fry pan but it is great for doing smaller jobs on the side or for cooking up things for one or two people.I use this guy for eggs, meat and more.The pan heats really evenly and feels great in my hand.The handle does a great job of dispersing heat and staying cool, too.And, though it doesn't come with a lid, the medium lid from the All Clad pots fit it well.

When things do stick, I don't worry about attacking it and scratching off the surface.I can use a scraper, sponge, or scouring pad without any problems.Metal can be used but it is more likely to scratch.And it is safe in the dishwasher although I recommend handwashing as much as possible.

Some cooking tips I learned with this type of pan:Use a lower heat, not because you have to (like with non-stick), but because it heats so evenly, you often don't need that higher temperature.Also when you throw something in, whether you are using butter, oil, a spray, or nothing, let it sit and cook a bit before you try to move it around.Hamburger, for example, will adhere to the pan at first and if you try stirring it up right away, small pieces will be stuck and are more likely to burn.Rather, wait until it has a minute or two to cook on that side.The parts that adhere will cook, separate and lift away from the pan so you can stir it easier.And when you are done, if there is any food stuck to the pan, put some water in it and let it boil for a few minutes.This will help lift it off and make cleaning easier.

Again, a great pan, a great brand, and definitely worth the money since it will last you a lifetime with the warranty they give you.

Lodge Logic Skillet Spoon Rest Review

I love cast iron, and this looks great with my black-and-stainless appliances. It's true it's a bit small for some of the spoons I'd want to rest in it, but I use large spoons.

I was worried about a friend of mine coming for a visit this weekend and not having an ashtray for her (to smoke outside, of course). I certainly didn't want her to have to use my dishes for that purpose. Then this came. It's perfect, and I know it'll clean up just fine when she's done with it.

There's nothing like seasoned cast iron in the kitchen. Those who have never owned much cast iron might think you can wash it in soapy water or in the dishwasher, but that ruins the seasoning. If yours has gotten rusty, scour it good with one of those green scouring pads with just water. Next time you bake something in the oven, sit your cast iron in there, too, and let it just bake for a while. Then take it out and, when cool enough to the touch, oil it with vegetable oil, working the oil into it with your fingers, then wipe off any excess. Stick it back into the still-hot oven and leave it there; it will come out black and beautiful, non-stick, and resistant to rusting as long as you dry it well if it gets wet and wipe (or scour) out any food using only water. (Trust me: This will not kill you.) Keep handling it this way, and the more you use it, the more beautiful and easy-care it will be.

I bought this pan in March, and now that I have had it for almost a year I feel I can honestly say, 'It does everything as advertised'!
It can get REALLY HOT, or simply keep the meal warm.
No more 'hot spots' is one of my favorites!The pans heat evenly.
I love having two pans. I have used it for everything from soup to stir fry.
It has earned the title of 'Super Pan' in our house!

In addition, the adjustable-height steaming plate can be used with the deep pan for steaming foods.
