Scanpan Professional 12.5-Inch Fry Pan
Best Item From Scanpan
A great pan
I've been looking for a really good set of pans literally for years. I tried a number of brands and styles and ultimately was dissatisfied in some way - even the expensive ones had something I didn't like. Then when I was checking out a recipe on a cooks site, I saw that the site was sponsored by Scanpan. So as an experiment (and because my old omelet pan was shot), I decided to buy the 9 1/2" Scanpan fry pan. What a great pan! The heft is perfect, the handle well set and easy to hold, the non-stick is truly non-stick (even water just beads up on it), and it looks good on top of it all. I've already ordered the 12 1/4" fry pan and have made a list. I'll be replacing all my pots and pans with Scanpan professional over the coming months. Below are what I see as the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Great non-stick - when I make omelets, I don't need any butter at all. Burgers, chicken, steak, etc. don't stick at all.
- Cleanup - the surface is so non-stick that a simple wipe...
Scanpan Professional features clean, elegant lines for a most unique cookware design. The stainless steel covers and handles are polished in a two-tone matt-and-mirror finish, setting an exciting visual contrast to the all black pan body. Scanpan Professional is made from a core of solid squeeze-cast aluminum, forged into shape with 200 tons of pressure. The optimum thickness of the pan base prevents warping and keeps the pan base perfectly flat, especially important when used with glass top or ceramic ranges. The patented nonstick surface is created by firing a ceramic-titanium particles into the pan and a specially formulated nonstick compound is embedded in the ceramic-titanium surface. Scanpan Professional is safe to use with metal...
- Heavy-duty pressure cast Aluminum base for perfect heat distribution
- Patented ceramic-titanium nonstick surface for use with metal utensils (depth-5 ¾-inch)
- Cast 18/10 stainless handles stay cool longer. Heavy-duty stainless steel rivets permanently secure handles to pan body
- Perfect food release, easy to clean. Dishwasher safe.
- Suitable for all stove tops, excluding induction
Loved the pan.
After reading all of the good reviews I decided to get this pan. If I really liked it I was also going to purchase the chef's set of other pans. When it arrived I was so excited. I had been using a cheap omelet pan that all of the teflon had worn off and I was ready to invest in some good pans. Two things I found out. If you put veggies in your omelet and they touch the pan it will stick, but it cleaned up easily. I had to put a teaspoon of butter in. Second the rivets stick out and food collects around them so I have to take a toothpick to them occasionally. One of the rivets started moving, which I don't believe it is supposed to do. I called Scanpan 3 times so far and keep getting an answering machine. I leave a message but no one calls me back. I will try again today. I am deliberating if I should get the classic in the other pans but I hate the glass lids and this problem with Customer service is leaving me leery of making another purchase with this company...
The last fry pan you'll ever need.
With a lot of non-stick pans on the market right now, I wasn't sure how ScanPan would be much different than the rest. After using this almost daily for the last few months, I can say that this pan has far exceeded any expectations I've ever had for a piece of cookware.
The surface is so tough, you can use it worry free with metal utensils, and they even suggest giving your pan a cold water blast right after use to steam clean. No other non-stick pan would ever tell you to do this. Most of the time, a simple wipe with a paper towel is all the cleaning you need.
I'm able to use so much less oil in my cooking, and yet still produce flawless golden brown color on meat and fish. Eggs are a piece of cake, too!
These pans look quite impressive as well, and would be at home in any well appointed kitchen. All of this being said, they throw in a lifetime warranty on top of it. I'm sold!
