Rating: - As good as
This pan is as good as ATK says it is. I have sauteed chicken cutlets, created a pan sauce from the fond, carmelized onions, and made pizza sauce. It accommodated everything nicely and clean up was a breeze. Don't hesitate. Get this pan since it is almost impossible to find in the stores.
Rating: - excellent value
I saw saute pans reviewed on a morning news show and this one got high rating despite its price. We really like it! It heats evenly and its no stick surface works wonderfully.
Rating: - 12 inch non-stick pan
This is a very easy pan to use and clean up. Even making fried Chinese noodles with veggies doesn't stick. The pan has a nice weight and seems hardy. I highly recommend it!
Rating: - beats all skillet
Heats evenly,good capacity,lightweight,heat proof handle,cleans up like a dream and is a great buy at this price.
Rating: - lighter than other annodized pans and a cheap hollow handle
I bought this off teh cooks recommendation. I didn't like the handle that much. While it isn't flimsy, its not as strong as I would have liked-its hollowed out with rounded edges but not as nice as say the cooks line from JC Penneys (which I own a 8" annodized nonstick skillet with eclipse nonstick coating that I love!!)
The handle is two pieces riveted to the pan instead of one solid one. I'm not fond of that either...just seems cheaply designed but hey its not all clad!!!
Add to it that when it arrived the pan was out of round but the box didn't look damaged at all. I may look at Penny's or Sears for this as Sears has one for less with no shipping charges.
I'm a pretty avid Cooks fan and follow their recommedations but this one looks like they went for a real value oriented choice on this one.
