I love these beautiful pans. Cooking is more fun now. My friends are ordering them also. Be sure to follow directions and heat the pan slowly at first.

Seem to be as good as hexclad after using them for a month

I love this fryer. I bought the 12 inch and it's huge and deep. Solid build. I wouldn't recommend metal utensils but it would be capable of withstanding light usage. Heats up very fast and evenly. Non stick is excellent though I would use some oil to cook eggs. Cleaning is effortless. Excellent value and easy to use

I treated it as recommended and used only low heat. Put a drop of water in the pan, low heat and when water bubbled and evaporated added the oil as it was now the right temp for cooking. Added egg for a sunny side egg. Flipped when ready and it did NOT stick at all. Finished cooking the other side and then it slid out beautifully. It said it even gets better after using it a few times. I gently used a sponge to wash off the oil after it cooled down. Love, love it My one concern is that the bottom layer is 18/0 not 18/10 like the top. 18/0 is the cheapest s.s. and doesn’t do well when heated.At Crystalia site there is achart on different grades of Ss. !*/10 is the best. 18/0 has no nickle in it and is least durable. Avoid heating (how) or applying force. It is the most vulnerable. YOu must dry it as it is prone to rusting. I hope that because it is bonded to aluminum it will be o.k. It is a heavy pan, nicely made, with a great lid that fits well. Just wished handle which does stay cool, was welded on to make it easy to clean. I hope it lasts a long time.

Edit, update in March 2024 since purchase and regular use in 2021. I cannot recommend these pans, which is unfortunate. Shortly after the water expired, some of the coating wore off around one of the handle rivets. I reached out to customer service at NutriChef and they were unable to assist me because it was past the one year warranty. I continued to carefully use the pan, thinking that food was unlikely to get up to that rivet anyway. Now there’s enamel, or whatever it is, wearing away on the cooking surface as well. No metal tools have been used on the pan, despite that being a selling point. I have always hand washed these pans. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend these pans anymore and will not purchase any more myself. I have concerns over the materials used and suspect the faulty one is not safe to use as the materials fleck into our food. Which is too bad, it was great while it lasted….(approximately 1 year). Also, this is now the third time I’ve tried to update this review; let’s see if Amazon/NutriChef allows this one to stick. Original review, 2021. These pans are wonderful! We bought a set of three pans to replace our 10-year-old Calphalon non-stick pans. The Calphalon was looking a little scratched and worn, even with silicone utensils. We are hopeful that with proper care, the NutriChef pans will last a long time. They are non-stick, but we are most excited about the inability to scratch or damage them (with proper use!) If we decide to replace the pots we have, we will consider NutriChef. The pans are heavy, sit flat on our electric stovetop. The handles on both the pans and the lids don’t get hot, which is great! The Calphalon set DID get hot, so I’m glad not to have to worry about using a hot mitt when cooking on the stovetop.

I think folks see nonstick and just assume you can cook on the pan as is no "seasoning the pan" or oil at all needed. Thats not the case even with pans that cost $300 a pan each you cant just heat up a pan and plop a raw egg on it and it not stick AT ALL. You want to season these pans before first use aka get your favorite cooking oil on a napkin wipe it on the interior of the pan and let it cook into the pan not burn into it. than let the pan cool down all the way than go ahead and cook with it and it will be nonstick. Than all you need to do moving forward is use a small dollop of oil alot less than youd normally use and re season the pan every 2-3 months. its a pure stainless steel pan there is no teflon or ceramic coating its just etched for looks (and holds oil well in the hexes instead of it slopping to one side) Also these pans give a nice even crisping under neath my foods no issues cleaning them or cooking with them eggs meats etc all slide around like theyre on ice cleans off easily aswell since nothing sticks and burns into them.

I love these pans. If you're looking for an option that is not a PFAS/PFOS nonstick, but easier to work with than traditional stainless steel, this is your bet! The pan is easy to clean and heats evenly. A few things might stick to the bottom when cooking (like cheeses) but it comes right off with washing. It's a solid, heavy weight pan and the lid fits well.

I love this pan! I followed the instructions to season it and nothing sticks to it. It heats beautifully, looks great, can use metal utensils and the handle stays cool. Would definitely buy again.
