Cookware - 12-Inch Stainless Steel Frying Pan - Stainless Clad 5 Ply Constructions - Professional Cookware Italy

Don't listen to all those people who can't cook who claim this pan burnt their food, that's not the reason this is a bad product. This pan is over-priced, heats unevenly, I sent it back as it warped even when heating slowly as advised. I'm cooking on induction, maybe it's not adapted but that's not my problem. I've never had a stainless steel pan that stains with strange white marks. Incredible amount of buzz about Made In products, don't believe any of it.

Despite the overwhelming positive reviews, I'm not sure what to believe. This was my first ever stainless steel pan, so I also got a laser thermometer to make sure I use it correctly. First time use, I preheated it dry, on almost the lowest setting. The goal was to get it to around 105-110°c before adding oil. Took about 10 minutes to reach 95°c (I know people say preheat for 2-3 min, but I didn't want to shock it, so I used very low heating), and around that temp it started wobbling on my glass stove top on its own. As per the extensive research I've done before getting one, I made sure the size of my burner matched the bottom of the pan perfectly, I constantly took the temp with the thermometer, and did everything correctly. The sides are considerably higher than the middle now and it's virtually unusable. Didn't even get to cook anything in it as the oil just pools weirdly due to the warping. I'm thinking it's possible I got a defective unit as my friend has an identical one and allegedly never had an issue with it (to be fair he's using gas stove so his might also be warped but would not be noticeable on that stove). I wanted to go full clad due to all the advertisement and accolades, but now I'm not so sure. I'll maybe try to give these guys the benefit of the doubt, and order a new one to see if the same happens. If that needs returning too, I'll try a different brand altogether. I'm so thankful to Amazon customer service for sorting everything out for me, otherwise I would've been out a lot of money on a mediocre pan.

Best pan I have ever used - food just doesn’t stick to it if used properly!

Excellent pan. Light for 5 clad. Bought as i cook a lot and have a new induction stove. Therefore i wanted a fancy frying pan. Bit big, I would like a 10 inch next. Only big for my burner on the stove. However everyone needs a 12inch frying pan in their collection

These pans are truly a game-changer. I had a set of cheaper stainless skillets and never got good results. Food often stuck to the pan, I never got the sear I was after, and I thought I just couldn't get the hang of cooking on stainless steel. Then I decided to buy the Made In 12 inch and 10 inch pans. Wow! The equipment you use definitely makes a big difference. These pans give me great results each and every time. As long as you heat them properly, put a bit of a high smoke point oil and or butter, you can't go wrong. And my family really enjoys the great sauces I'm able to make with all that nice fond thats left in the pan after cooking. And cleanup is no problem, you can de-glaze with water and scrape up any mess while the pan is still warm, wash with some soap, and if necessary a little Bar Keepers Friend Stainless Cleaner will make them look new. Its a night and day difference between these and the inexpensive pans I used to use. I was lucky enough to catch these on sale, so I saved a few bucks, but in my opinion, they're worth every penny, even at full price. These pans will last a lifetime, not like the non-stick cookware you have to replace every year. And they're much healthier too. If you enjoy cooking like I do, don't hesitate to get these pans.
