Cooks Standard Frying Omelet Pan, Classic Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch/30cm Saute Skillet Egg Pan, Black

Since receipt of this pan, It's been used several times per week, every week, and I can and do report that it has not disappointed. Over the years, I've used dozens of non-stick pans and all with the same result, eventually. Typically, and commonly, within a year or so of first use, the non-stick finish had either lost, or was noticeably losing, its effectiveness. More often than not, that loss began after the first few months of regular use. Not so this pan, certainly not yet. The pan is well-made, properly weighted, heats evenly, has a flat bottom, pour-over lip, coating both inside and outside, heat-dispersing handle, very easy clean-up, and is overall a satisfying tool in my kitchen. As time goes on, I'll report again should performance begin to deteriorate. For now, though, I can and do recommend this pan that I bought, by the way, instead of the Oxo Pro I first considered. I admit, the description, and the lower price, were persuasive in my decision to purchase this one. More later.Rapidly closing in on a year for this pan in my kitchen and to my most pleasant surprise, it's held up exceedingly well, far better than any other non-stick pan I've used over many years. I take good care of my tools, and this pan, after all, is a tool; hand-washing, no metal utensils, no searing hot temperatures, (SS or cast iron are appropriate for them), and while there are signs of age, cosmetically, on the outside, the inner surfaces are, I'd say, 99.5% as they were when new. Most non-stick pans, regardless of price, don't typically survive a year of frequent use, but this one is still going strong. A very worthwhile investment. By the way, some have reported uncomfortable heat conductance through the handle. I have not experienced that at all, unless said handle is exposed to a heat source, unlikely in this size. Smaller sizes on large burners, well, that's likely. Small pans, though, ought to be heated on small burners. "More later..."Nearly two years since original purchase and, alas, the non-stick surface, well, isn't. It's gradually degraded, as they all do, but lasted months longer than others I've used. Hand washing, never high heat, and seasoning after about six months, delays the degradation, but can't prevent it. I was going to purchase a new one, although the pan itself is in very good condition, (not non-stick anymore), but the price has increased by more than thirty-three per cent. As far as I know, the price of all the constituent elements has gone down, so the increase is unjustified and disappointing. I'll look for an alternative at what I regard as a more fair price.

High quality. Easy clean. Good heat distribution.

The media could not be loaded. I love Cooks Standard cookware. I don’t use non stick except for eggs so I got the 8 in frying pan. What a great pan, the eggs don’t stick at all even cheese omlets. The size is perfect for three over easy, they com3 out perfectly round and flip so easy. Food just slides right out of this pan and I find I’ve been using it for food other then eggs. So easy to clean. I love the handles on this brand, way nicer and more comfortable then my allclad set. Look at my video, those eggs just slide around the pan, even my husband can’t screw them up! 19.99 was a great price for an 8 in non stick pan. I highly recommend it.

What a beautiful and well made pan! This is perfect for open grid stove tops, unlike most pans that tip over, the heavy weight keeps it stable.I babied this pan from the day it arrived, hand washed it, never let it over-heat. made sure it remained spotless. But despite perfect care, the non-stick disappeared after a few months, just like all the other cheaper non-stick pans. Now I wash it in the dishwasher, use oil when I cook, and yet it is still my favorite small frying pan.

I really like my new frying pan. I previously purchased a smaller one from the same company to try it out and liked it. Now I decided to buy the bigger one 10". It is non stick and very easy to clean. So far, it has been working really well. I only use a soft sponge to clean it and everything comes off very easy. Highly recommend it.

After one year of almost daily home use, the 8” omelette pan is holding up better than any pan I’ve owned. No chips, no scratches (I only use a rubber spatula) - cleans easy in the sink or toss it in the dishwasher. Edges are perfect slope for flipping omelets or eggs over easy with a quick flick of the wrist. Heats very evenly. Feels sturdy, great feeling metal handle that doesn’t get hot at all. I wouldn’t say it’s “light weight” as Amazon has asked me to rate (certainly not light like cheap pans, that would be a negative), but definitely not heavy like a stainless steel pan. Weight is just right. Love it so much, I’m going to buy another just so I have another egg pan for family breakfasts.

These are really nice, high quality frying pans. Better than most of what you see at Target or Walmart. I've been using them for about 6 months. They don't deform or bend toward the center over time like other frying pans I've had. However, they are VERY heavy - almost like handling a cast iron skillet. So if you don't have strong arms, this might not be the right choice for you.

The most non-stick pan I've ever used! Can't speak to durability yet, but it is a great little pan for eggs and other sticky stuff - thinking of getting a 10" for omelets. Highly recommended.
