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

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.

All-Clad MC2 Nonstick Fry Pans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ongoing debate over cookware at my house is over:All-Clad is the best cookware overall and is worth the extra money.Our coppers tarnish and require retinning.Our encapsulated disk cookware (Reverere and Farberware) suffer from loose and broken plastic handles and too-small disks which limit the cooking area of the fry pans.The biggest debate was between Calphalon and All-Clad LTD nonstick models.My wife really liked the lighter weight of Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick line.After living for both for several years, All-Clad has shown its overall superiority in the following ways:
1) Durability.The non-stick finish All-Clad uses wears like iron.The Calphalon's finish shows many more scratches and blisters.
2) Denser anodized finish.The All-Clad LTD finish is much denser and more even that that on Calphalon.This makes it more attractive and easier to clean.On the MC2 stuff the finish is not anodized, but it is tightly frosted and well made.It's quite attractive too.I've started to accumulate MC2 stuff because it's cheaper and performs just as well.The LTD stuff does look better on a rack mixed with Calphalon.It's tough to beat black aesthetically.
3) Greater heat sensitivity.You actually cook with the stove set to a lower temperature with All-Clad.It appears to register changes more quickly.Both types of pan are good in this reguard - but the All-Clad is noticeably better.

As a fry pan, the All-Clad MC2 12" fry pan hits on all cylinders.It's big enough for a 4 egg omlette, or most of pound of bacon.It's battleship built, well balanced, even heating with great sensitivity.The handle stays cool and is angled so that you can lift the heavy contents without undue strain on your wrist.The nonstick finish is effective and tough as nails.The MC2 finish is durable and very attractive.Ultimately I'm more partial to the LTD finish because it matches well with other anodized aluminum cookware - and you can clean it very effectively with Ajax.The MC2 finish will yellow a bit over time.Real chefs just let it get brown. It looks like real cookware.In any case, exterior aesthetics don't relate to cooking performance.

Update on the MC2 finish:after using it for months and letting it get nice and brown I tried cleaning it with the 3M scrubby and Ajax/Comet cleanser I use with the LTD finish and it worked like a charm on the MC2.Just make a nice paste and power away the burnt on grease in moments leaving a nice buffy shine.Don't worry about scratches - the MC2 finish is a fine patina of minute scratches anyway!It looks great and is basically indestructible.

All-Clad MC2 Fry Pans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All-Clad pans are always well made, and this pan is no exception. A couple things to keep in mind with this particular pan:
1) Master Chef 2 finish - I love the brushed aluminum finish, which should age well, but for now, not everything is available in this finish, though the selection is pretty good.
2) This is an 8" pan, which I find a nice size for a lot of stuff, but it is "small" (of course, there is a 7", if you like tiny pans :^)
3) This is the stainless steel interior, not non-stick. While All-Clad guarantees their non-stick interiors, I love the stainless, no worries about scratching, you can get in there and scrape away when making sauces. But you will want to use a bit of olive oil or other fat whenever cooking; but then again, why wouldn't you.

All-Clad Stainless 7-1/2-Inch Nonstick French Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This skillet is not ready for prime time and not up to par with other All-Clad skillets. It is very lightweight which makes it feel like a cheap bargain-basement purchase, not something that costs $60.00. The handle on this skillet is the worst I have ever seen. It is extremely uncomfortable to hold unlike other All-Clad handles. The upper edges are so thin they feel as if they could cut into the hand. The customer service rep at All-Clad told me all of their French skillets have the same handle so that means I will not be buying more.

Product Description:
Definitely one of the most popular cookware items, the skillet offers a broad wide base and gently curved sides that make it easy to flip food or effortlessly slide an omelet or grilled cheese sandwich from the pan to a plate. Measuring approximately 13-1/2 by 7-4/5 by 5-4/5 inches, this useful 7-1/2-inch French skillet comes in handy for making anything from omelets or silver-dollar pancakes to sauteed vegetables or fried cubes of tofu to throw into an Asian-inspired dish.
Durably constructed, the cookware features an 18/10-stainless-steel exterior; an encapsulated aluminum core for fast, even heat distribution; and a nonstick interior to help ensure effortless food release (no need for excess butter or oil). The skillet comes equipped with a riveted, cast stainless-steel handle that stays cool to the touch on the stovetop (suitable for induction) and can withstand an oven's heat up to 500 degrees F (not safe for use under the broiler). The 7-1/2-inch nonstick skillet cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher (hand washing recommended) and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
