Misen 5-Ply Stainless Steel 10" Frying Pan - Professional Cookware for Induction, Gas and Electric - Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe to 800°F - Durable, Versatile, Even Heating

This frying pan is actually unbelievably amazing. I have owned dozens of frying pans over my life and typically have gravitated to coated ones for ease of cleaning. Eventually they all scratch and peel and I have to replace them. This stainless steel pan actually lives up to what is advertised. It actually cooks evenly and even if there is a food residue on it after cooking I fill it with water and then the food comes off it very easily! I bought the 12' pan. It is heavy but I can handle it fine (69 yr old woman). I had a lid already and it fits nicely. I have only used it on a gas cook top. I like it so much that I am planning on giving my grandson one for Christmas as he is looking to get something and was considering a cast iron one. I think, having experience with cast iron and coated pans, that he will be happy with this because it actually heats evenly and more importantly it cleans easily!

First off, I am not what I consider a true cook. However, I wanted this stainless steel fry pan for cooking breakfast items like eggs. I watched a number of YouTube videos on SS pans. For eggs, I learned to cook at lower temperatures using butter to first coat the pan. For meat and other items , I use virgin grape seed oil to cook at high temperatures. I watch for drops of water to race around the pan first. This has worked well and I recommend this pan for its quality and easy cleanup.

These are phenomenal pans. Gave one to each of our 20 something grandsons who are establishing households. Will last a lifetime.

The 8" is our favorite, go-to pan for eggs and the 10" for braising chicken and finishing off in the oven.Everything cooks better in these pans! The weight and quality of the pans makes them a great value at this price point and I've bought multiple sets as gifts and everyone is thrilled.

Misen makes solid pans that perform well. This is a nice shape and depth for a 12" pan, and 5-ply stainless steel is great. Stainless steel is NOT nonstick, but with the right temperature and sufficient oil, you can avoid anything that's too difficult to clean. And really, this is a benefit. Nonstick coatings don't last and they eventually chip off into your food. One excellent feature of Misen's pans is that the rims are sealed. At the edge of most clad pans, including much more expensive brands, you can actually see the layers of steel and aluminum. This isn't a problem cosmetically, but aluminum can corrode pretty easily and is especially susceptible in the dishwasher. Technically, clad pans shouldn't be washed in the dishwasher unless the rims are sealed. All-Clad lost a lawsuit about this, because the aluminum wears down while the steel stays intact, leaving sharp layers of steel that are thin enough to cut skin. There aren't a lot of clad pans with sealed rims out there, and Misen is the lowest-cost option that I'm aware of. If you don't want to hand-wash your pans, this should be a huge factor for you when considering a large cookware investment. I ended up going with another brand, because I personally don't like Misen's handle. It's high quality and comfortable, but it has a polished finish that makes it slippery compared to brushed handles or handles with a less comfortable curved spoon shape (like All-Clad). To me, that was a bigger factor than being able to use the dishwasher, so I ended up with a Made In set that I wash by hand. If you like a round polished handle, Misen is a GREAT option. It's also one of the cheaper clad options out there and they've got a great reputation. I do still recommend this pan.

I know that non-stick is popular, and I get it. We always went that route, too (or cast iron, which I find to be sometimes "easy care" and other times "hard to care for" as they can rust on the bottom and leave stains). But, by gum, I have to say this is even easier to clean than regular non-stick, as I *can* use a scrubber, and as fiercely as I feel like without fear of damaging it. And, there's no coating to wear off and get into your food. There's no hard-earned "seasoned" patina to try and not remove and no "seasoning" to redo every so often. We can use this in the oven for certain dishes, as well. Something that you can't do with most non-stick pans (maybe you can with the ceramic types, if the manufacturer says it's ok). We have spent years cycling through non-stick pans. The cheaper and the more expensive ones out there. All last only so long. A year here, a couple of years there. But always needing to be replaced after what feels like a short time. During this, we have owned a set of stainless steel pots - for at least 25+ years, and never needing to replace them. So, when the most recent inevitable time to replace The Pan came, we bought this along with a carbon steel pan (the one my husband was most excited to get) and a ceramic coated pan (the one I was most excited to get). Out of the three, this is the one we both reach for, time and time again. And, as the person who does 85% of the dishwashing, I really appreciate the easy cleanup it provides (I swear, I will not try and wash that carbon steel one, as I don't want to accidentally remove the baked-on protective layer that my husband has so lovingly built up on it). Even though we do own stainless steel pots, I hadn't thought it would be just as easy to clean a pan (something you cook more aggressively in) as they are. Even after a burned disaster. It always looks like new after washing. Even with the worst mess, it doesn't take a whole lot to get it clean again. The thick bottom - and I do mean thiiiiick - really helps distribute the heat evenly. Hands down, our most favourite pan. When we finally decide to add in more pans for size variances, I will be looking at getting them from this line.

This is a nice fry pan. It is nicely polished and well finished. The straighter walls do give a larger pan bottom surface area. When used properly, meaning properly preheated and then oiled, the pan is pretty much non stick and easy to clean. Upon receiving the pan I washed it and used it for bacon and eggs the next morning. It worked well, the eggs did not stick and flipped for over easy. Once the pan cooled it was quick and easy to clean but be aware, the interior finish is easily scratched and a nylon pad will scratch it. That nicely finished interior is good until you use the pan and then it's just used and it looks it. I expect that this pan will work good for any use and next I'll be searing steaks in it. The only issue I have with this pan is it origin and price. No way this thing is a $100 pan. More like a $60 pan. I bought this thing to evaluate it as a gift and no, I will not be gifting one of these at the current prices. If I'm going to spend the money for quality level pans they will be All Clad's. Bottom line: Overpriced Chinese product. Edit to add after a month of use. This pan is a Chinese product and it shows that fact up real quick. As this pan got used more it got real sticky to the point of this pan is going into the metal recycle bin where I work. This thing just gets dirtier and sticker and almost impossible to clean the more you use it. Today I tried pancakes in it. Browned off some sausage and bacon in first, all of which stuck no matter the perfect preheat and oiling prior. Deglazed the pan with boiling tea kettle water and got it sort of clean, got it back up to heat, reoiled it, put the pancake batter in which STUCK LIKE GLUE to this awful pan. At the same time I was running a Lodge cast iron flat pan where the batter did not even try to stick. So anyway, took This Misen Chinese piece of junk off the burner, scraped out the stuck pancake then replaced the cook pan with another Lodge cast Iron skillet and proceeded to cook a dozen perfect pancakes. This Misen pan is grossly inferior to my 75 year old RevereWare stainless steel pans that will cook pancakes and eggs no problem. I don't care what materials you specify or what your design is, if the product is then made in China and you or your company are not running the factory yourselves you will only be producing and buying junk. And sure enough, as other reviews have stated, this pan does start to warp, no matter how much TLC you give it. This pan is so bad I wouldn't even consider donating it to goodwill and will instead just scrap it. A hundred dollars wasted at Amazon, AGAIN.

I have used this pan on several occasions and it has performed without fail and cleaned perfectly each time. The key people is you have to get oil with a higher then operating cooking temp. In this case I used homemade clarified butter. The other time I used safflower oil because of its high smoke point. You MUST get the pan to about 165 deg and having a temp gun is vital. I set my pork down and didn't touch it. Let it get the Maillard reaction and it will pull away perfectly. I have cooled honey garlic chicken as in the video. You can see honey isn’t sticking and the pan cleaned like new. Now the pork I made a wine reduction sauce so adding liquid to the pan will help clean the pan and also help make an incredible Pan sauce. With the pork I added a small amount of water and with a silicone spatula removed any stuck on pieces easily. Each time I add a little water unless I’m making a pan sauce which helps deglaze the pan. I use paper towels and wipe it clean. Once it cools I’ll use a little soapy water. If you toss in food before the oil is hot enough you will have sticking issues. 165 deg and food will stick but will release like it’s supposed to once the Millard reaction takes place. I only use the highest smoke point oil. Homemade clarified butter 485 deg. avacado oil and safflower oil. Both between 425-500 deg. For the price the pan performs as good as my higher end AllClad cookware. The key is getting the oil hot enough and using the right kind of oil.
