Culinary Institute of America Saut Pan Review

(More customer reviews)
I just recently replaced many of our Calphalon One aluminum anodized pans with All-Clad stainless line and copper core line since they all warpped badly and no longer stay flat to heat evenly on my flat top glass cooktop. We have been very happy about our new All-Clads, and were looking to replace our 9" Calphalon One chef's pan withh an All-Clad but couldn't find one in similar shape - their 8" are very shallow. It took me several days on-line research to come across CIA's Master line. Luckily we had a local store which carries CIA and had it reasonable priced. I bought the 8" pan and found it was as good as the All-Clad in all heating aspects and it was somewhat deeper all around in contrast to All-Clad's smaller fry pan. My wife is very happy about this purchase. We'd recommend CIA to whoever likes to give it a try.

Scanpan Classic Ceramic Titanium 12-1/2-Inch Fry Pan Review

I've owned several Scanpan products. This fry pan, an 8-inch fry pan and a sauce pan. All stick after being used for a while. After I had problems with the first one I talked to the store I bought it from and to Scanpan. They said to use lower heat and don't use cooking sprays. I followed those instructions with the next pan I bought and still had problems. I also tried the "restore" method mentioned in the manual using the steel wool that was included with the pan without any success.

When they were new they were great, but once they started sticking, they were worse than a regular pan without a non-stick coating. Plus the sellers won't back them up. I tried to return mine under their "Lifetime" warranty, none of the stores selling them would take them back without talking to the distributor first. The distributor never returned my phone calls. Also a major consumer testing magazine that originally gave these a high rating retracted that rating after getting bad feedback from owners. You can read back issues in your library.

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.

I've used my Scanpan for a bit over 2 years now - the only piece of Scanpan I own.I cook almost everything in Farberware Classic plain old stainless made in Da Bronx, Noo Yawk. But a cook's just gotta have ONE good nonstick pan. I tried all the cheap stuff, then a Circulon (ever try to keep one really clean?) Then a "Pots & Pans from Calphalon" teflon/silverstone piece of junk. Chipped and flaked and RUSTED where the teflon left.
Then SCANPAN came into my life.This thing is bulletproof - use steel utensils on it, burned he;; out of it one time - no problem. One nick on the top edge in two years caused by beating the bejasus out of a big serving spoon trying to dislodge some thing or other that was stuck to the spoon.
Want to give a REAL NONSTICK WEDDING GIFT???? Give the kids a set of this stuff - they'll love you for it. Neighbors daughter got married, wanted Calphalon, gave her Scanpan instead. She and hubby are believers. She got some odd pieces of Calphalon and commented on how hard it is to clean. No teflon "poisoning" hangups with Scanpan either.'Nuff said.

I have CIA's 12" and 8" copper core non stick frying pans and they are absolutely the best pans I've owned.However the 8" pan is a little too small for the weight of the handle, so it easily tips over.Just be careful.
These pans are well built, heat up quickly, the non stick coating seems to last, no muss and no fuss with these pans.A real joy to cook with, everything slides off.They are a little pricey but well worth the price.
Once you cook with these babies, you'll never want to use anything else.

I have an Emeril Lagasse 10" non stick and less than a year the coating has already worn off and it takes forever to heat up.Easily the worst pan I've owned.Bam!Da Worst and expensive.
I own a 12" stainless steel multi copper core All Clad, it's pretty and shiney and everything but hate the ritual of having to heat the pan and heavily priming it with oil before cooking.If you don't, everything sticks to it.And the clean up is the worst.

This is a fantastic pan. There is no hot spots, food browns evenly and beautifully. I find that it heats up faster than my other pans and I use lower heat than I need with other pans. I have bought many other non-stick cookware from Scanpan and I love them all. The food I cook on Scanpan always turns out better than when I use my other pans.

The ceramic titanium compound is super-heated then fired onto the pan's exterior for an extraordinarily hard surface.

Mario Batali 10-Inch Saute Pan, Chianti Review

Mario Batali 10 inch Saute Pan, Chianti
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Basically I love this pan. I long ago ditched the poisonous non-stick coatings, and am now replacing my Stainless steel and bare cast iron to avoid leeching metals.I love a heavy pan, it cooks much better than the tri-ply SS it is replacing and at a lower setting, and cleans up beautifully with a brief soak. I love the light interior -it is bright white, so I can see the food. The Chianti color is lovely, and fortunately not brown toned. I am careful to avoid temperature shock.
I'm glad the other reviewer suggested the Mario Batali silicone HANDLE GRIP that matches this, too.
The one caveat is that the interior is kind of uneven, rippled, almost lumpy, as if it was being cut by hand and they didn't quite finish before they applied the enamel.
The leaflet says "Your Mario Batali Cast Iron Cookware has been uniquely hand-cast from molten iron in individual sand molds and layered with three coats of high quality enamel. Each piece is then baked at extremely high temperatures to seal the enamel coating and create the high gloss finish."
I called COPCO, who makes these, and they reiterated that these are hand made and unique, but that if I thought there wasa problem I could return it for a replacement.
I'm really not sure whether this is a defective one or just the way the Mario Batali pans are. I didn't see anything about this in any other reviews. If anyone else has one and can comment I'd really appreciate it, especially before my 30 days are up!
It unfortunately gives the interior more of an amateurish look than a handcrafted one.A helper handle would also have been nice.

All-Clad MC2 Fry Pans Review

All-Clad MC2 Fry Pans
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.

Product Description:
What's a kitchen without a fry pan? This humble piece of cookware is probably used more often than any other. So if that's the case, it only makes sense to invest in one that will stand up to frequent use. Eggs and bacon in the morning, a grilled cheese or sauteed veggies for lunch, burgers or chicken breasts for dinner, day in and day out All-Clad offers superior performance. The new MC2 cookware combines the industrial style of a brushed aluminum exterior with gleaming stainless steel stay cool handles.

=really works
Reviewer: /Ken from Tracy, CA USA
I just got one. I tried cooking an egg with no oil in it on medium heat. It stuck a little, but I could clean it off with one wipe of a paper towel. I can't do this with any other pan I own. With just a slight amount of butter (a pat cut 1/16th inch thick), I repeated the test and was able to flip the egg with ease and there was NO stcking at all. It cleaned off with just dabbing a paper towel along the surface. The outside of the pan also has non stick sides, so if you get some slop on the sides on the outside of the pan, it wipes off as well. The heat distribution was superb as evidenced by the changing pattern from clear to white of the egg white and the uniformity of browning of the egg surface. I intend to use this pan for omlettes and crepes. It exceeds any other fry / saute pan I've used.
You can use metal utensils on this pan: amazing. The handle is suppossed to be good to 500 deg F. I finally found a non stick pan I can use!
I have Le Creuset, multiple stainless, plain cast iron and several (retired) non stick (including Corning and Analon). The eggs are cleaner than from cast iron. In the Le Cruset or stainless, a soaking is required for the same test.

Wearever Admiration Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Saute Pan Review

This is my second Wearever pan and I have been very pleased with both. The nonstick quality lasted far longer than other inexpensive fry pans I have bought and the first one didn't give out until my son put it in the dishwasher - which is plainly not recommended by the manufacturer. My only complaint about the first pan was the rounded metal handle: the new shaped plastic one in much better.
