Scanpan Classic 8-Inch Fry Pan

Best pan I've ever used..., (What's this?) Not exactly sure how/why it's so different from others but it just works so great! So easy to clean and nothing ever sticks even after 2 years of abuse.
Easy to clean and non-stick if you do this...., I was tired of non-stick coatings breaking down over time, flaking into the food, and eventually having to throw away a still-good stainless steel frypan. I investigated Scanpan at a gourmet food cooking utensils store. They demonstrated that you cannot cut or scar the surface with anything as it is titanium. But it is necessary to either use a little oil/oleo/butter when cooking or put a few drops in and wipe it over the surface with a paper towel.

I cook a lot with a wok and am used to "seasoning" after cooking with a little oil so that has worked for me. Food never sticks. I've used my pan for 8 years and it is blackened. But it is my favorite for small portions. I don't see how I will ever wear it out. And the handle is thick and comfortable.
poor warranty / customer service, Scanpan Classic 12-1/2-Inch Fry Pan I have used scanpans for several years, after awhile the handles come loose, it bubbles, wont release etc. The first time I returned the pan to the factory, they did send me new one. When that handle became loose, the factory sent me an obvious second. The pan was so far out of round it was almost egg shaped. Not good. I havent purchased any scanpan products since. I've had the best luck with swiss diamond. By the way, I do take very good care of my cookware, including copper and all-clad. I would caution against spending the money on scanpan, particularely if you expect them to honor their warranty.
Not worth buying, I own two 8" fry pans and one 10" fry pan. The first 8" was returned to the company almost immediately because everything stuck to it. They sent me another one and it is just as bad. I have used these two fry pans perhaps 5 times each.
They are undoubtedly the worse pans I have owned and I own thousands of dollars of fry pans. Don't waste your money on these items. There ads are all hype and no delivery.
Consistently Reliable, (What's this?) Possibly the best non-stick pan on the market relying on different technology than Dupont's Teflon coating...it is remarkable and very serviceable...
Best pan I've ever owed, Scanpans are amazing. They do not scratch and nothing sticks. I won't buy any other kind of nonstick skillet. Love this pan.
Best all-purpose pan ever made, (What's this?) I can't tell you how many different things I've used this pan for. From pancakes to pork to omelettes, this pan never lets me down. Most importantly, it is one of the easiest things to clean that I've ever owned.

Pros:
-Easy to clean
-Good size for the almost all dishes
-Can put it in the oven (or at least in for 20min at 450)
-dishwasher safe
-non-stick that isn't teflon based
-can use metal utensils on it

Cons:
-doesn't come with a lid
-a bit pricey

Overall, this pan is a bit pricey but totally worth it. I bought the 10.25 inch version, which I think was around $60 or $70 at the time. It's held up pretty well over the last year or so with me and my roommates using it at least twice a day. Sometimes we get lazy and cut meat in the pan, so it as a few scuff marks in the bottom.
after 5+ years here's what you'd want to know...., I bought my 14 inch Scanpan at a chef supply store more than five years ago. The first year or so I used this pan constantly for everything from fried eggs to fried rice. The non stick surface was excellent, and I was extremely happy with the performance. At first, since it was rated to do so I did use metal utensils on it; I did manage to create two small scratches though so at some point I switched to using wood or nylon utensils in this pan. BTW, since they say metal utensils are okay to use I felt the scratches were a warranty issue and long story short the warranty claim was denied.
Awesome!, I love being able to use my metal utensils... this pan is CRAZY durable. As a restaurant manager the only thing keeping me from having nothing but Scanpan in my home is the price (we restaurant managers tend to be poor.
Eliminates using extra pans, (What's this?) I wanted a 14 inch frying pan to make cooking for additional guests easier. I have 2 older Scanpans that guaranteed the finish whether metal or non-metal utensils were used. I did have to return one of the older Scanpans that had pitted, but have been happy with this brand overall. My older pans are not truly non-stick and do require some soaking depending upon what has been cooked in them. The new pan does recommend using non-metal utensils to protect the non-stick finish. It cleans beautifully, so you don't need any non-stick spray. Non-stick spray can actually make cleaning non-stick pans much more difficult. Afterall, that's the point of getting a non-stick finish to begin with. I don't use the pan often, but have been very happy with it's performance. It is about 14.5 inches across and 23.5 inches from handle to handle(outside measurements). I also purchased the glass lid and have used it every time I've used the pan. It is somewhat heavy, so having the small extension handle on the pan has been very helpful. The extension handle does get hot so make sure to use a good hot pad when lifting. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend purchasing both the pan and glass lid if you cook for larger groups. It's a good investment.

Before first use, remove all packing materials, labels and tags and wash pan in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Assemble the glass cover handle, if applicable, following the instructions on the poly bag that holds all handle parts. Tighten by hand, only, do not use tools. Make sure the small washer that goes on the underside of the glass cover is flush with the glass surface. If not, turn the washer around and re-assemble the handle. 2.

Since each stove top has its own settings, find the best heat setting for your stove by starting at a lower setting, then gradually increase until water splashed on the pan surface evaporates immediately with a sizzle. High heat can be used for other applications, like boiling water, stir frying, oven roasting etc. Scanpan Classic Cookware is oven safe to 500 degrees F. 3. Scanpan Classic can be used without oil, butter, or other seasonings, making it especially suitable for low fat diets. 4. After use, remove food and clean Scanpan Classic with warm, soapy water. Scanpan Classic wipes clean with a sponge. Scanpan Classic is dishwasher safe, however, Scanpan recommends using extra care if you decide to clean the pans in the dishwasher to prevent damage to plates, glassware, etc. 5.

Lodge Logic 5-Quart Double Dutch Oven and Casserole with Skillet Cover

Love My New Double Dutch Oven w/Skillet Cover!, (What's this?) This thing is awesome and beautiful. Mine came with some slight imperfections on the handles from casting, but I'm OK with that. It's a perfect size for me and looks great.

My first time use was to deep fry some chicken to help season it further. It performed beautifully. I love it. <3

Treat yourself (or the cook in your life) this holiday season and get the Lodge Logic 5 Quart Double Dutch oven with Skillet Cover. Seriously.
Great deep fryer, (What's this?) I purchased this oven solely to use as a deep fryer instead of using the Le Creuset French ovens I already own. It's a little taller and flares more than a comparable LC vessel meaning that I have a deeper reservoir of oil and still a comfortable margin of safety. Cast iron is perfect for deep frying foods such as rumaki, onion rings, tempura, deep fried shrimp, calamari, fish filets for fish tacos, etc. Once your optimum temperature is achieved you can reduce the burner to a lower flame as the heat holding qualities of cast iron ensure a lesser temperature drop off than stainless or aluminum vessels. Unlike the other Lodge Dutch ovens, this model doesn't have a lip extension for the lid which means a clip on thermo will fit the side without a problem.
I'm in love!, (What's this?) I've used this twice in the short period that I've had it.
First, yes it is heavy. But I'm no weight trainer and managed just fine when it had a nice sized roast in it. I figure using this will help keep my muscles tone as I age :)
I never did buy a brush to clean it with, so I've been using coarse salt. That works just fine. I paper towel dry it, then let the pilot light in my oven make sure it's completely dry before coating with a bit of olive oil.
I'm curious, are we supposed to treat the outside of it with oil too?
So far, It's been on the stove top (gas) to brown the meat, in the oven to cook, and on the grill to cook. I love the fact that this thing is at home anywhere. I bought it to replace a slow cooker.
If however, you want to do a turkey, you need a bigger size. This can easily handle dinner for 4 however, and I love the one pot meal concept......yet everything cooks like it had it's own pot. The barley, despite being at the bottom of the pot for 5 hours, was not mushy. The meat and sweet potatoes were tender.
Cast Iron Two-fer from Lodge, (What's this?) I bought this as a gift and it was very well received. The reviews helped secure my decision to purchase this. The idea that both the top and bottom can be used independently really sealed the deal. Nothing holds the heat as well as cast iron and I trust Lodge's quality. This should last a lifetime. Great combination.
Use the lid almost daily, (What's this?) A few years ago, I was tired of cooking on Made in China "non stick" cookware and looked for something Made in the USA. Lodge Logic cast iron pans fits the bill. All of their original cast iron line is still made here. IF you are looking for Made in the USA, avoid their Enameled Cast Iron line ("Made to our exact specifications in China").
Product was very good - Amazon was not so good., (What's this?) The Lodge Dutch Oven was very good as I knew it would be.
My experience with Amazon was very disappointing. There was an error during the ordering process and I had to submit the order again. I ended up with two Dutch Ovens ordered.
Within five minutes of placing the order I tried to cancel one of the orders and Amazon said it was too late. I ended up with two Lodge Dutch Ovens. The error was not my fault but a problem on the Amazon site.
Lodge Logic, (What's this?) We have enjoyed the Lodge Logic cast iron cookware. We have had no problems with them & in fact, have only had good experiences with them. We use them on a regular basis.

In another review, there was concern about sticking. We do not normally have a problem, and if we do, it is usually because we have washed it with soap. It is best not to wash it with soap, and to ALWAYS put a light coating of oil on it after use, and separate them with a paper towel.

The Lodge Logic website www.lodgemfg.com has a "Use & Care" section that gives very good information about care of cast iron cookware. We highly recommend reading it prior to using the cast iron cookware. It gives instructions well beyond the little booklets that come with the product.

The other thing we enjoy about two particular items is that you get two items for one. The top is a cast iron lid that can also be used as a skillet, and we do.

Lodge 5qt. dutch oven, (What's this?) I bought this dutch oven for camp fire cooking. I wanted a lid for it. Lodge lid also doubles as skillet. The chili is always better and the popcorn is the "goodist" according to my grand daughter.
Awesome Product Line, (What's this?) We recently had to return a gift of the Martha Stewart pots because apparently the ceramic explodes and chips. Yikes!! So we looked for a replacement and we just love this entire product line.
versatile!, (What's this?) love this pot and lid! the lid is great for cooking small dishes for two or three, scrambles eggs nicely and good for a grilled cheese or small quesadillas or omelets. and, not having a traditional long handle makes it easier to store. the pot is a great size - large enough for stews and boiling potatoes and pasta, but not gigantic and still easy to store (and lift to the sink). invert the lid onto the pot and it's a small double boiler. takes a while to heat the pot for searing on an induction cooktop. eggs stick if it's not hot enough but cook perfectly if it's the right temperature.

Lodge Color 11" Skillet, Emerald Green

wish I had bought Le Creuset, (What's this?) I purchased this pan in Feb. for my daughter hoping it would be almost as good a Le Creuset, which is a lot more expensive. I'm sorry to say it was a very poor substitute. After only a few months the enamel is chipped and the pan looks years older than it is. I must stress that my daughter takes care of her things. So now I am buying her a quality pan that will last.
As good as a Le Creuset., (What's this?) After using this skillet I can state that it has all the features of the French Le Creuset line at a quarter the price. No need to say more than that.

If you like using cast iron cookware you will be well served with this line of Lodge Enamel which however, unlike the original made in USA products, are now made in China. Though I prefer to buy American, I am so satisfied that I went ahead and ordered the Lodge Enamel 10 inch Grill Pan as well. These products have an enamel coating on both the outside and the inside surfaces and, unlike the original Lodge products, require no seasoning.

Cast iron cookware works extremely well on induction plates as the temperature can be adjusted in very fine increments and the entire pan heats evenly through magnetic induction without any hot spots. The combination of cast iron and induction yields great results.

Four stars instead of five as the inside enameling should be applied in a thicker coat to better hide the casting grain.
Super Cool, Awesome pan, BUT... the color in person is more like a olive green (not as dark though). I still love it and it will go pefect with my other enameled cast iron pots.
Big, heavy pan cooks evenly, (What's this?) My wife needed a larger cast-iron skillet to cook with, so we agreed to get this one.
So good I bought the whole Lodge family, (What's this?) This is an outstanding product as is all the other Lodge cast iron enamel coated products I have purchased. I have the 3 qt enameled coated casserole and 7 qt enameled coated dutch overn as well as 2 frying pans (one coated and one not coated). I have some Le Creuset and these are as good if not better. Easy to clean and retains wonderful heat. Works GREAT on induction cooktops or portable induction too!! I am amazed at the price compared to others of the same quality! I bought the handle mitt and a glass lid for the uncoated cast iron skillet too which I love.
Lodge enamel skillet, (What's this?) Skillet arrived in good condition and cooks wonderfully. Clean up is a breeze with the enamel coating.
skillet, (What's this?) I gave this as a gift to my Mom. She really likes it. The company I purchased it from was great! They were out of the emerald and called to see if I wanted to wait or get another color.
Close to perfect, Just received this skillet as a gift. It works great on my glass top stove, providing fantastically even heating.
I've used it in the oven as well with great results. The enamel surface on the inside of the pan is a little rough, but
so far nothing has stuck to it and feel better about enamel than a modern non-stick coating. It's a little on the heavy side,
but it's cast iron after all. Overall quality is very good, especially considering the price.

I'll update the review if I find this skillet to be anything but excellent after more extended use.
Great Skillet, (What's this?) All the benefits of Cast Iron, none of the draw backs.

Open skillet made of enameled cast iron

Hand wash; oven-safe to 400 degrees F; wood or silicone utensils recommended

Chip-resistant porcelain enamel surface eliminates the need to season

Measures 11 inches in diameter; limited lifetime warranty

Ideal for sautéing vegetables, meats, and seafood

Open skillet made of enameled cast iron.Hand wash; oven-safe to 400 degrees F; wood or silicone utensils recommended.Chip-resistant porcelain enamel surface eliminates the need to season.Measures 11 inches in diameter; limited lifetime warranty.Ideal for sautéing vegetables, meats, and seafood. This Lodge Color skillet is a classic piece of cookware that offers a time-tested alternative to Teflon-style nonstick coating. Great for sautéing meats, vegetables, and seafood, the piece releases food well while browning beautifully. It is also safe in the oven, so a frittata can go from stovetop to oven to table without switching pans. Measuring 11 inches in diameter, the skillet comes in attractive colors and can hang from a pot rack. It also includes a helper handle, which is critical, as the piece is hefty. As with its other enameled cast iron cookware, Lodge recommends washing this skillet by hand and includes a limited lifetime warranty. --Emily Bedard With its lively palette and durable construction, the Color line from Lodge is great for everything from main dishes to desserts. Handcast from molten iron in individual sand molds, the line features a sturdy construction that conducts evenly and retains heat well. A double layer of chip-resistant, non-reactive porcelain enamel coats both rims and interiors, while glossy, colorful enameling covers the exteriors. Handsome as well as functional, the enamel simplifies use by eliminating the need for seasoning the cast iron while creating an ideal browning surface.

Le Creuset Forged Hard-Anodized 8-Inch Nonstick Shallow Fry Pan

Great Cookware!, (What's this?) I love this cookware. I am in the process of trading in my old cookware for something new and decided to try Le Creuset because the reviews had been extremely favorable. This skillet is heavy, but not overwhelming. The handle stays cools while cooking. I use silicone utensils so as not to scratch the surface, although it is my understanding that metal utensils can be used as well. Cooking is a pleasure with this pan. It's great for frying eggs or making stir fries. There is a glass lid that fits this pan, but it must be ordered separately.
excellent pan, (What's this?) 2009 was the year we bought a bunch of new cookware, including two different brands of hard anodized pan. One was a store brand, and has begun to show its wear and tear. The Le Creuset pan is in the same condition as when we bought it, cleans up easier, and is a pleasure to cook with, as with all Le Creuset cookware it is simply above average in quality and well worth the price.
Is it worth the jacque?, Well, I need a deep sided frying pan to cook those Voila and Bertoli meals and I've always used Le crueset for my Dutch ovens and sauce/fry pans. So I ordered the Le Crueset Quadrumvate of toughened non-stick 12"deep frying, 12" low skillet, 9" skillet and 12" lid. When they arrived they shrank an inch and are now 11" deep fryer, 11" low skillet 9" skillet and 11" lid. called the seller(not amazon) and was told the description and stock had changed? Ok...well the next thing I saw was Made in China, strike two. Here's an example of paying too much for outsourced manufacturing. I expected Made in france, sacre bleu! then I noticed the induction plate and went back to my QVC set of old. Here's the good, I always liked the QVC set with the induction plate and they cost the same. The heating was even and nice. Le Crueset did include in their directions that you need to gradually heat the skillets which is paramount.
no surprises, (What's this?) This fry pan performs as advertised. Even, quick heating on an induction cook top. Quick clean-up. 'nuf said.
Favorite and most used pan in the kitchen., The title says it all. I love this pan and find it worth every dime. The size is ideal for simple sauteeing, it's light enough to flip your food with ease, it's durable enough for any task and it provides perfectly even cooking because of its solid base. This pan has helped me achieve my absolute best omelettes and flawless scallops, among many others. Take care of it and it will last you a lifetime, honestly.
Blows away my All Clad LTD.., (What's this?) I can't believe this pan only cost me $40. After spending the last two years complaining about my All Clad pans loosing their non-stick quality, I couldn't take it anymore.

I found this pan on Amazon and ordered it. It came yesterday and I just used it for the first time this morning. I cooked two eggs in the pan and couldn't believe it. Not only did they NOT stick, they almost flew out of the pan when I picked it up and made a swirling motion. I flipped the eggs like a pancake!!

I own a few Le Creuset pots and have been very pleased. This is my first hard anodized pan from them. I have owned a full set of All Clad LTD for many years. As soon as I finish this review I will be ordering a 12" pan.
Best pan so far, (What's this?) I have been using the 8in. pan for a month. It is really non-stick. Mostly I cook eggs with it, they are so fluffy and never burnt. Of course it is too expensive, so only four stars. I am saving up for the 11in. pan. If money wasn't an issue I would purchase one of each size and height, and a set for my mom.
Even cooking, (What's this?) This is the most wonderful pan I have ever used! I made the same omlet in my Wearever and in this one and this one made it completely light and golden where my other cheap pan always makes them dark brown. It cleans up easily with soap and water and has a great weighted feel to it. I am very happy.
Great pan!!, We use it on a electric stove since about 1 1/2 years now and this is by far now my favorite pan. Nothing sticks, it heats evenly and it easily can be cleaned, no scrubbing, etc.
a great pan, (What's this?) After reading reviews of all 8-inch pans, I chose this and am VERY happy I did.

Vinaroz Die Cast Aluminum with Ceramic Coating 28-Cm Fry Pan with Lid and Vent, Blue

Diecast Aluminum Ceramic Coated Frying Pan, I absolutely love this pan!! It heats up quickly with lower heat than a normal frying pan. Nothing sticks to it and it cleans up easily with a paper towel. There is no more mess to go down the drain and clog your sink - just throw the paper towel away and wash it. I have even cooked bacon in the pan and it came out very crispy. Even cheese doesn't stick to it. It is amazing and I have been cooking for over 35 years.
VINAROZ SKILLET / FRYING PAN WITH COVER, (What's this?) I purchased this pan because it was large, heavy, and had a ceramic coating. The glass cover is well made and has an easy to grip knob. The fit and finish are excellent. The skillet handle is large and sturdy. In addition; it is deeper than the average skillet which in my case is definite plus. Clean up is easy and this skillet heats evenly. It is not quite as "stick free" as a teflon pan but the difference is minor. The ceramic coating should last indefinitely. After using this pan, I would never purchase another teflon pan.
So much better than teflon, (What's this?) This pan is amazing. Nothing sticks to this. NOTHING. Not even the oil. And it doesn't scratch as easily as teflon either. In fact, it's so non-stick that I am having a hard time flipping things when I cook. They just keep slipping away.
Happy Wife, (What's this?) My wife loves this. Now I must buy 2 more for her. She likes this better than our $2500 cookware set. Non stick is amazing, much better than teflon. It says not to use metal utensils so you must treat it carefully like the other non stick coatings.
Great Buy, (What's this?)
Excellent, (What's this?) I bought this for my aunt for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She asked for the best non-stick pan I could find. I had never heard of this brand, but took a chance. She said nothing sticks to it. Food that is supposed to be crispy, like bacon, is crispy. Eggs slide right out. I may buy one for myself.

Universal Housewares Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 15 Inch Skillet

LOVE IT!, (What's this?) I have always wanted a cast iron skillet, and I am so glad I chose this one. It is perfect, large enough to fry for the family. I am looking forward to passing this down to my children and their children, as cast iron skillets only get better with age.
BIG? Yes. Beautiful? Yes., This is our first cast iron skillet. The wife and I had been lurking around, watching some cooking shows and the ol' cast iron skillet came up over and over again. Time to get one. I bought it for a Christmas present for her last year.

I don't do anything half a$$ed. I bought the biggest and baddest one out there. At first, my wife was like "Oh %$#@, that thing is a monster!" However the more we've used it, the more we decided that the size is fantastic even just for 2 people. Try blackening 4 salmon filet's on a 10 or 12 inch skillet. Not gonna happen. How about a whole bunch of breakfast potatoes for the overnight visitors? Pour the hole bag into this baby. Heck we just cooked some scallops and an almond encrusted trout in it side by side tonight, both turned out spectacular.

Just figure that this pan is not one you want to put away in a cupboard, and take back out again every night. This is a pan that will live on top of your stove and will often get raised eye comments about its size. Never once have we heard anyone say, "That thing is too big!" Most of the time the comments made are, "Wow, nice skillet!"

Of course it's a bit big for camping and we'll probably pick up a smaller one for travel, but for the home this has become our defacto skillet when things need to get hot to cook. Don't be offset by the fact that it IS a big honkin' piece of metal when you first handle it, and that the box it comes in (as was ours) will probably be trashed. If you like to cook in a cast iron skillet, and you often have the occasion to cook for more than 2 people, this is your pan.

Just make SURE that you have two GOOD silicon 'grabbers' for it. We have a silicon handle slip on cover and a 'glove' holder for grasping the tab on the front (both from Bed Bath & Beyond) so you can get a good grip on it while moving it to the sink. I don't care if you are a WWF wrestler, you will need two hands to big this thing up. That is the only task that needs careful attention. She gets hot and she is heavy, but with the right tools and using both hands, even my 5 foot, 100 pound wife can wield it with confidence towards the sink.

And don't ever wash it! Rinse it with hot water, and if any burnt stuffs don't come off with a gentle scrubbing, put it back on the stove and boil some water in it then gently scrub away the residue, rinse again and dry it with the heat from the burners and she's good to go.
WOW!, (What's this?) We've had this skillet since last Christmas and it's great! True, it's a small labor hand-washing and seasoning it after every use, but it's great quality and we use it for a lot of our meals (although we use the 12" Cast Iron Skillet 80% of the time.
HUGE AND HEAVY, (What's this?) This cast iron skillet works wonderfully. It is gigantic and can cook enough for the whole family. Watch out though because it is very heavy.
Super sized, (What's this?) This pan was less expensive than smaller ones in stores and it's preseasoned!!! There's so much room in this pan for more than one type of food, we use it at home and camping and have great results everytime.
Great! And less expensive than Lodge, (What's this?) I read the reviews for the Lodge brand skillets and they were mixed. It sounded as if the newer ones cracked under the heat.

So I found this one. It's great, and cheaper than the Lodge one.

I was looking for something better than a wok. Woks are useless on normal American kitchen stovetops. They are made for deep fire pits that they use in China. We need to use a flat-bottomed, cast-iron pan to get high heat for stir frying. I made some awesome Thai stir fry with this pan.

It's heavy, but that's what you need. Use a pot holder for the handle. You can get those silicone sleeves that stay on the handle.

It's pre-seasoned, so things don't stick too much.
Great skillet but make sure it'll fit!!!, (What's this?) I have absolutely no problems with the quality of this skillet. It was pre-seasoned perfectly, the thickness of the iron is fine. Even the weight is manageable for such a large skillet. But I would suggest before purchasing it, makes sure it'll fit on your stove and heat evenly. Our stove is a little too small for it. We've tried using two burners, but that leaves the middle section cold. And we've tried centering it on one burner, but that leaves the outer rim cold. So just ensure you have the space for it on your stove.
Cooking surface does not heat evenly, (What's this?) This was purchased for my adult son. The only problem is that it is a little too big for his burner so the entire cooking surface does not get hot. I'm sure it would be great on a larger burner.
heavy, pre-seasoned, but has a flaw, (What's this?) I was so excited to get this pan. It's very heavy and huge! It's well seasoned, and exactly what I needed. One major flaw for me, though. The pan is not flat on the inside, and all the oil will go and puddle on the sides. it's higher in the middle, and the food or oil on the sides will cook well, but the middle will burn. I'm not able to fry anything, which is what I bought this for, because unless I'm using a whole bottle of oil, the oil will pool only on the sides.
Welcome addition to any kitchen and a good gift for a cook, (What's this?)
