Cooks Standard Frying Pan Stainless Steel, 8-Inch Multi-Ply Clad wok Stir Fry Pan Kitchen Skillet, Silver

First, I read most of the reviews concerning this and other products; comparing features ,pricing, and even complaints(most seem to have problems with food sticking/burning and cleanup). I will try to address most of these with a reasonable quick answers but with true thoughts. Lets look at features and pricing. This is an all clad design(meaning that it has a core sandwich between two layers that extends the full body of the item), which helps with even heating. The stay cool handles are comforable and securely attached to the body and the product is oven safe too(within recommended limits). The weight of the item is heavy but reasonable when compare with same/equal and lesser quality items. The appaearance/cosmetic/look is high polished and retains it's looks even after several events of cooking as long as you use common sense care in use. As for pricing, all you have to do is compare simailar products and you will find that most items with these features and quality is 2 to 4 times the price of this item(don't take my word, compare for yourself). Now, as to the problems(food sticking/burning and cleanup), these are user related. The first thing you need to do is follow instructions on use and care. When you recieve the item please wash and dry according to enclosed brochure. To stop and or reduce the chance of sticking, preheat the item around a mid setting; then add oil and reduce heat to a mid-low setting(too high of setting will result in the proability of sticking and or burning of food); then add desired food product(s). Never forget your process of cooking, the best is to not leave and finish your cooking. If you follow these steps your chance of sticking and burning of food is reduce highly. With the steps provided above, cleanup should be a breeze. Most of the time all is needed is warm soapy water and a cloth and rinse well; but if needed you may use a cleaner to remove stain or food particles. Use recommended cleaners and no metal pads or etc, that might scratch the surfaces.(also you can use a mixture of water with lemon juice and or vinager and let soak for 1/2 hour to 2 hours, then wash as stated). All this information is available on the web for you to research and use in caring for this or simalar products. Inclusion, this product is a quality item at a afforable price and will last for several years of use if properly care for. If you are looking for SS cookware, then this item should aquire your attention, thoughts, and your consideration.

I've been using this pan for nearly a year now and it's become my favorite piece of cookware. I also bought two sauce pans from the Cooks Standard line and they perform amazingly well. I own or have owned other SS pans from some of the top rated and most expensive brands and this pan does everything they can do and hasn't warped a bit which is more then I can say for some of the others. It's stainless, not nonstick, so you need to learn how to effectively cook with it utilizing oil, temperature control, and time. It takes time, but once you master it, you'll never go back to nonstick.

My wife loves this pan! It has been amazing, and the quality is top notch! The glass lid is also so beautiful and easy to clean! (We bought the 12” frying pan and glass lid option).

I hated this pan when it first got to my place. Everything sticks and it was a nightmare to clean. Then I did a lot of research online to learn how to use stainless steel pans. Now the pan doesn't stick and is easy to clean with the new techniques. The pan does scratch up over time, even with bamboo or wood spatulas. You must be committed to learning how to cook with stainless steel pans if you get this one. The price is pretty good, and the pan feels sturdy. No warping after 1 month of use. You must learn how to cook with stainless steel, which is very different from cast iron/carbon steel/nonstick pans. Disclaimer: this is not written in the pan's instruction set. So use at your own risk. How to cook so it doesn't stick: 1. Heat the pan on high or medium high. 2. Add cooking oil (doesn't really matter which). 3. Wait for oil to produce smoke. 4. Turn the heat immediately to low when you see smoke. 5. Wait 15 seconds (count to 20 in your head) 6. Add the food to the pan. How to Clean tough stains: 1. Heat the pan up on high or medium high heat. 2. Add small squirts of water to the pan's dirty spots. 3. Use spatula to dislodge stains in the areas water was squirted. 4. Pour out dirty water. How to Clean REALLY TOUGH STAINS: 1. Add 3 spoons of baking soda. 2. Add water, and bring to boil. 3. Let the water boil for 1 minute and the stain should be coming off 4. Let the water cool to room temperature. Add soap to the water + baking soda mix. 5. Use sponge to spread the baking soda/water/soap mix and scrub off the dirty stains. 6. Use Bar Keeper's Friend to clean the bottom of the pan and any spots that you can't reasonably get the baking soda/soap water to.

The secret to making this non-stick is to get it hot. You’ll know you’re there when you splash a little bit of water and the water beads slide along the pan. Just don’t heat it too hot though which is the maximum temp listed on the packaging. Then pour your oil.

Because the material is not good after the cooking the steel is not pure

El producto tiene una excelente calidad y visualmente es agradable. Las dimensiones son correctas, el peso es considerable por lo que debes tener cierta fuerza para utilizarlo. Recomiendo ampliamente su adquisición.

Don't skimp and get a clad base. The full clad design is well worth the little extra spend. Nice even and stable heat.

Forse per la leggerezza e la mancata antiaderenza dovrei dare una stella in meno. L'idea è che più l'acciaio è pesante e più il fondo è spesso, e se antiaderente si cucina meglio. In realtà così è più maneggevole, scalda SUBITO, si lava comunque bene anche la leggera incrostatura da proteine, è immensamente capiente e il coperchio risulta utilissimo ed elegante. Non ho la possibilità di controllare se davvero consta di tre strati, ma voglio fidarmi. Acquisto approvato, peccato per i 40 giorni d'attesa...
