Mauviel M'Heritage M250C 6504.30 11.8 Inch Round Frying Pan, Cast Iron Handle Is copper worth it?

My favorite pan, I love this pan. It's incredibly versatile. I use it instead of a straight-sided saute pan (many cooks don't like to do this but it's my preference). The 12 inch copper pan weighs a ton and is not ballanced for tossing food ... so don't think of this as a larger version of your 10" fry pan. It's best sitting on the stove solidly, with you turning the food in it with tongs or a spatula.

There's plenty of room to make a pan sauce, and I like having sloped sides for this--easier to get into the corners with a whisk or spoon. It's also my all time favorite pancake making pan. It heats evenly from center to edge, which is a pretty good trick for a pan this large.

Being copper, it's every bit as responsive as you'd expect. The feeling of control is addictive. You'd have to be an arsonist to burn anything in this pan. But in spite of its quick heating and cooling nature, it does a nice job of browning meat--even big pieces. Not as aggressively as heavy cast iron, but I have no complaints. It's also a perfectly capable roasting pan. I've roasted everything from chickens to vegetables to pork tenderloins it, usually at 500 degrees. Cleanup can be a drag after this, but such is life when you roast with lots of fire. Only drawback is that handle is long, so it will take up much more than its fair share of the oven.

And then there's price. Copper is up ... these have gone from expensive to outrageous. I think you'd have to consider it a luxury unless you're loaded. The good news is that there's no reason to have a huge set of copper. For me I just have the ones that I saute or make sauces in--this, and a couple of sauce pans. My 10" fry pan is aluminum, and much better for tossing food than even the 10" copper pans.
Excellent, I have an electric stove and not being able to switch to gas in my building, I decided to test the pans from Mauviel to see if they can give you the balance and control of gas on an electric stove. They do. Simmers are now easy and you can actually control the increase and decrease of heat to the pans with quickness and precision. I can actually say that these pans make electric stoves function better than gas. The simmers as an example do not require constant adjustments. Do not be too concerned with food sticking to the pan because of the lack of non-stick on these pans. With the use of Pam spray and oil you have a non-stick surface, I have removed omelettes from the pan by just tilting the pan. Skip the Pam spray and use oil only and you can have perfectly created small bits of caramelized flavor called fond. My wife did not wanted to use them at first but they worked so well that even her is a believer. These pans will make you cook food as it was meant to be cooked, with absolute control of the entire process. Additionally they look superb on a wall rack and will last generations.
Is copper worth it?, (What's this?) I could hardly wait to get copper. The hype is so compelling, so I bought this from Amazon. First off, it is wicked heavy. No flipping omelets in this baby. That I cam live with. Anyways, the big test came when I had to make latkes for 12 hungry people. A latke is a pancake made from ground vegetables, eggs, and a little matzoh meal or flour. They are fried in hot oil, turned once when brown on one side & when brown on the other, drained and put in a warming oven to stay crisp. A good pan is essential for them as you want them evenly brown and crisp, but tender in the center. Not too thick, either. They should be thin, not as thin as a crepe, but not like those frozen or deli bought ones made with shredded potatoes that are over an inch thick. Yeckk.. Well. I put this copper pan on one burner, and my Calphalon tri ply stainless fry pan on the other big burner. Following directions for the copper pan, I put it on medium heat. The Calphalon was on hifh heat. Both pans heated in the same amount of time. I had a hand on the rim of each pan, and both were equally hot when I added the oil. The oil became swirly looking in the same amount of time in both pans. I put the same number of spoonsful of latke batter in each pan. The latkes browned equally evenly in both pans and were done at the same time. Bolth pans produced beautifully crisp, evenly browned latkrs. The only difference was that the heat was lower on the copper pan.

The triply stainless got a quick spritz off Dawn Power spray, and went into the dishwasher, coming out clean and shiny the next day. The copper pan had to be cleaned by hand, and the copper bottom had to be polished with expensive copper cleaner -- and it still looked streaky after at least 15 minutes of polishing. The stainless pan just had to be hunb on the pot rack, its bottom and interior both shiny and clean.
Much Better Than Aluminum, The copper conducts heat beautifully and the stainless interior really lasts. Things stick to the bottom which is then deglazed with wine or broth. Expensive but worth it.

Heuck 33000 Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 10-1/2-Inch Chicken Fryer great pan

Absolutely love it, (What's this?) I have ordered several different cast iron pans over the past few months. This one is by far the best. It comes very well seasoned and cooks excellent right from the start. Just make sure you take the time to re-season it and care for it correctly. I was a little disappointed to find out that the cover is only heat safe to 350 degrees while the pan is safe to 500 degrees but not a big deal.
great pan, (What's this?) We have used this for over a year and it is awesome. We mainly use it for deep frying anything that we need and it keeps an even heat and works great. If you are going to regularly do sauces in it then I would recommend going with an enamel or porcelain coated one as the acidic nature of tomatoe sauces takes the seasoning right out of the pan. It does not hurt the pan though. Heck it's cast Iron! It will survive about anything and still keep cooking great.
GREAT!, (What's this?) WE GAVE THIS TO A FREIND OF OURS WHO COOKED IN IT JUST HOURS AFTER SHE RESEIVED IT. SHE IS A VERY PARTICULAR COOK...SHE LOVED IT! BUY THE WAY CHRISTMAS DINNER WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SAME W/OUT IT.
horrible smelly covering on pan, horrible pan, (What's this?) this pan came"pre seasoned" the pre seasoning was so toxic smelling I would not use this pan until i had actually gotten got my drill with a sandpaper bit and ground the covering off the entire pan and lid. When i first placed pan on stove it smelled like gasoline. Lodge preseasons its pans with olive oil apparently Heuck preseasons its pans with a petroleum based product or paint. As I use cast iron because I don't want the toxcicity of teflon I found this appalling, i would rather use the teflon, at least that doesn't smell! The actual pan is nowhere near as smooth as the Lodge pan ( for approximately the same price). The lid is not one piece but has the little knob screwed on the top. I fear the screw will melt if subjected to the high temps the rest of the pan should handle. The pan itself does not appear to be even some areas are clearly thinner than others.
HEUCK chicken fryer, (What's this?) Item is great preseasoned. It takes a lot of the hassle out of purchasing anything cast iron.
Great size but quality?, (What's this?) The skillet is a great size and cooks like any piece of cast iron should. I enjoy cooking with cast iron! The only issue bottom of skillet was not flat when received. I had to grind down a ridge left on bottom of skillet. The ridge made the skillet wobble back and forth while on stove.
Very good for the money, The fryer works well depending on what you are doing. My wife has a hard time with things sticking to the pan, but she is new to the cast iron cookware. Make sure you season it well.

The surface may be better, but for the money I can live with the imperfection.... Overall, a good product for the money.

Don't just purchase a piece of cookware purchase cast iron cookware that will last for generations. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, casseroles, cakes and pies somehow taste better when cooked in heavy pre-seasoned cast-iron cookware. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Pre-seasoned out of the box saves you time and helps with easy cleanup.

Swiss Diamond Nonstick 8" Cast-Aluminum Fry Pan Little giant in quality

Love this fry pan!!!, (What's this?) I had been waiting on a local kitchen wear store to get this particular pan in -- but got tired of waiting. Found it on Amazon -- at less than store price and free shipping.
I like this pan, I've had this pan for at least 2 years, probably closer to 3, and I've used it easily hundreds of times in that period. I do not have any problems with a coating on the bottom and it still works great for me. I'm not sure what the other reviewers have done with their pans, but mine is holding up great, with no particularly careful use. I cook in it same as any other pan I own, and wash it same as any other (non cast iron) pan I own. In fact, I only saw the negative reviews because I am buying this pan as a gift for my mother. The absence of teflon is a highly favorable factor to me.
so far so good (owned for 2 wks), First of all I'd like to say that I've only used it for 2 weeks so I'm not sure if it'll be all scratched up after 1 year as some of the reviewer said. So far we like it. We use it to make taco meat and warm up taco as well, it's been great.
Great pan for omelets, (What's this?)
Great buy!, (What's this?) The pan is well made. Clean up is exceptionally easy.
Just started using mine yesterday ..., We got a gift certificate to a kitchen specialty store for our wedding, so we put it to use getting one of the 11" frying pans.

In the morning I made a 5-egg omelette with onion, peppers, tomato and spinach. The egg cooked through without browning too much, and I didn't have to do to much in the way of lifting the edge of the egg and running the uncooked egg underneath before it was mostly cooked.

In the evening, I used it to thicken my feijoada (Brazilian black bean stew), sauteeing bacon, garlic & onion, then adding 2 ladlefuls of beans cooked soft, mashing down and refrying the beans until they were nice and thick before adding it back to the stew.

As far as nonstick goes, this pan is no nonstick that even water doesn't want to get it wet.

The pan got up to heat fairly quickly. In fact I'll have to use lower heat than I did with the other nonstick skillets I've had in the past with the disk bonded to the bottoms. Cleanup was ridiculously easy: hold the pan under the water coming out of the faucet, and all the food particles wash away .. I used soap and a medium bristled brush just to get any remaining oil off the pan.

So far so good, works a treat. Time will tell if this pan gets coated like every other nonstick pan I've ever had, but I am heartened by hearing the saleslady at the kitchen store tell me she's had one of these pans for five years, and it still works as well as the day she got it.
Still a Great Pan!!, (What's this?) I had seen an infomercial for a similar type product. It appeared to be exactly what I was looking for, although I'm a little leary of infomercials. Then I started researching non-stick pans and this brand stood out in customer reviews.
Stay Away!, This pan scratches ans sticks. And the manufacturer does not stand behind its goods. To top it off, I was told not to use olive oil on high heat.
Little giant in quality, (What's this?) Wonderful skillet.
Excellent Cookware., We started out with the 28cm frypan and have added the 20cm frypan and a roasting dish to our collection. We only ever use high temperature oils such as grapeseed oil in these pans and they work as good as new. Need to be re-seasoned from time to time. We were told by the shopkeeper NEVER to use low temp oils such as olive oil in non-stick cookware and it will last for years. We've had our Swiss Diamond cookware for over 3 years now.

Farberware Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Deep Skillet Buyer Beware

Low Quality Farberware Skillet, (What's this?) The nonstick surface on this 12" nonstick aluminum Farberware skillet started peeling after 6 months of mild use and proper care. This peeling renders the skillet unusable.

Will try to return but the internet feedback indicates little consumer success with this Farberware issue.
Great while it lasts... which seems to be less & less., (What's this?) Great size, love the handle, must hand wash unfortunately, & last but not least: It will last about 6 months even with great care. My first one lasted 2006-2010, 2nd one 2010 to 2011, 3rd one purchased 2011 in the spring and by Fall is was useless. Losing finish & has not been non-stick for a few months now.
Love this non- stick skillet, (What's this?) It works very well. I have not any problems, and I have had it for over a year now.
Buyer Beware, (What's this?) Bought this pan about 10 months ago. Have been very careful with it. Never put it in the dishwasher and always used plastic utensils and the non stick coating is destroyed. Used it a couple of times per week, if that. It's not even worth the one star that I gave it. Buy something else.
good pan, just hope you don't need the lifetime warranty, good pan, just hope you don't need the lifetime warranty. this complaint is not pan specific. If you have read the tons of consumer complaints against Meyer corp you will see that they do NOT honor there lifetime warranty on the non stick surface. I had my pan for 2 years and the surface stopped working. we have never used the pan in the oven, nor put it in the dish washer and we don't even own anything but plastic pan utensils. all of which makes our pan a perfect candidate to be replaced. according to the website, you don't need an RMA or anything just UPS the pan. well i did. the UPS tracking shows them getting it some 4 months ago and no word from them. after checking around on line, this is typical of them. save your $10 in UPS shipping and buy a different brand. vote with your dollar and spend it else ware.
Well done, Farberware!, (What's this?) This is a great, sturdy product that has lasted 6 years of near-daily cooking. Its deep enough for making a variety of foods, and is also well-manufactured. I have paired with skillet (i call it my go-to wok) with the Farberware 12-inch glass lid, which I also purchased on Amazon. (The lid is a must with this pan) Its an excellent pan that you can use to make sauces, brown your meats, or even cook your eggs.
Not so great, Ive had the pan a month or 2 its never been in the oven or the washer, nonstick works well, holds lots, but its warped, and I rarely use max heat on my ceramic top, but this pan is headed for the trash can. Would be great on gas or coil type range.
Farberware Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Deep Skillet, Farberware Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Deep Skillet

This product was not what it appeared to be. It is very cheaply made. I also ordered the lid which didn't fit onto the pan. I had this shipped to my daughter in CT and they threw away all the packing receipts or I would have returned it.

Horrible.
Outstanding, (What's this?) Pan was in great condition, still using it would highly recommennd to my friends. Shipped very fast.
Farberware skillet, (What's this?) This is a great skillet. Do wash by hand. I put my first one in the dishwasher and ruined it. This one I just rinse with a bit of dish detergent and plain hot water and it is like new again.

Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 8-Inch Open French Skillet Love it

Love it, (What's this?) This replaced an old non-stick pan that had become very scratched up over the years and it's great to have a nice clean new one. The rubberized handle is a real help as it doesn't heat up. The non-stick works great and I wish I'd replaced the old one much sooner. Recommended.
Eggs stuck immediately, I bought this pan because Consumer Reports gave it such high marks. The very first time I used it, my egg whites stuck to it. I used a plastic spatula as recommended as well. I'll be getting my money back as it has a 60 day trial period.
Pans couldn't be better, (What's this?) I just bought a home with an electric stove. I hate those things, but it was less expensive to buy a new pan than a new stove (though its still on the list!). All I can say is wow. I got an 8" and a10" and they are both spectacular. They need very little oil and very little clean up. I am back to flipping eggs without a spatula, and I have to make sure to wash the pan right away because it looks clean as soon as the eggs are out! I can't recommend these pans enough. I am back to happy cooking again with the electric stove.
great pans, (What's this?) The Anolon Advanced pans cook evenly, look nice, and clean easily. My favorite pans ever! The larger ones, when full, may be a bit heavy for some people, but they work so well. The only downside at all to this little frying/saute pan is that Anolon doesn't seem to make a lid for it (they do make lids for the 10" and 12" skillets). But lids from some of my other pans fit it, so no problem.
Too early to tell - but looks good, (What's this?) This is a heavy duty non stick pan that works well so far. The surface has held up under fairly high heat without flaking or peeling. It is much too early to see if this thing will pass the time test. Most of these pans do not hold up well and break down quickly. This one appears to be high quality initially - durability is the key with these things.
Awesome little pan!, (What's this?) We use this pan every day for eggs and other small cooking chores. Build quality is fantastic, it's nice and heavy to it doesn't wobble on the stove, and the non-stick is still non-stick after eight months of daily use. I would definitely purchase again.
Cooking and cleaning, (What's this?) This Anolon skillet is a wonderful addition to my other smaller skillet. Most likely I will be buying a Anolon Wok in near future for my Indian vegeterian cooking. It is so easy to clean.
anolon skillet, (What's this?) I love the skillet, great quality. It has a great weight to it. Amazons service is very fast as usual.
Great for a while..., For the first few months this pan was excellent for our main usage: cooking eggs. Then slowly the non-stick faded and now we can't cook eggs in this pan without extensive sticking. So much for durability! Looks nice, but no better than cheaper non-sticks.
Great value!, (What's this?)
