An Awesome Piece of Cookware!
By The Happy Clown With A Frown on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2014
This is a wonderful piece of cookware! I needed a larger pan so I could cook enough at the same time and my meats would finish cooking at the same time so I was thrilled when I found out I would get to review this 12 inch frying pan.That the nonstick coating is made without using PFOA was important to me and so was the fact that it contains no cadmium or lead.This is an easy to handle pan. It does have some weight to it, but that is partly due to the fact that is is several inches bigger than the pans I have been used to using. This pan cooks fabulously! I quit using vegetable oil in my pans quite some time ago. It left a sticky residue that was very hard to remove after it had been heated so I only use real butter. This is how I have cooked in this pan and it cooks great! It cooks very evenly and the large size means everything cooks at the same time and gets done at the same time.After cooking and letting the pan cool, I wipe it out with a with a paper towel. I then use only hot water and liquid dish soap to wash the pan out. I never use harsh chemical cleaners or rough scrubbers on my pans.This this pan washes and rinses clean very easily. Almost effortlessly! Once rinsed, I simply wiped with a dry towel and it was a good as new! I like to really baby my non stick pans and don't let them get nested with other pans at all so they don't get scratched.I think the only addition that would be very helpful and would have been nice if it had been included, is a lid. One is shown in the photos, but is sold separately. Other than that I have no complaints about this pan. It has performed great and is an easy clean up.Despite not coming with the lid, I love this pan! It has so far proven to be high quality and think it is going to get lots of usage in our house. I plan to take great care to ensure it lasts a long, long time because it is already a favorite among my cookware!

Color Pan 12" frying pan
By Kaylee de Tranaltes on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2014
I ordered a wok from TeChef and really liked it, so I figured I would add their frying pan to my collection of kitchenware. Like my other wok, it is obvious that this frying pan is of very high quality.The assembly of the handle to the pan itself was simple enough, albeit a bit unexpected. It took me a few tries to successfully and tightly attach the handle of the pan to the pan itself. I ordered the Lavender Blue pan, and the color is something I was delighted to add to my kitchen. I don’t have another pan that looks like it!One of my favorite dishes to make is crepes. Though they require few ingredients, they are impossible to make correctly without the perfect pan. They often get stuck to the pan and won’t flip over correctly, resulting in a doughy, sticky mess. This pan did a great job when it came to that. The crepe batter spread evenly onto the bottom of the pan and slid off perfectly when it was time to flip over.Overall, I am really happy that I purchased this particular pan. I gave it three stars for two reasons. The first was the unexpected assembly that was required. It was not difficult, but I wished that the seller had put this in the description of the product more prominently. The second reason I gave it three stars was because of the handle. The handle of this pan and that of the wok I previously bought are both the same size and shape. However, this handle is made of hard plastic, while that of the wok is a soft-grip handle that is more comfortable to hold while cooking. I also liked the soft grip handle a bit more because it does not get slippery with cooking oil or anything else, making it easy to hold on to. A few times while making crepes the oil made the handle very slick, and I had to clean it a few times before I could continue cooking. A small complaint, but I will be contacting the company to see if I could switch out the plastic handle for the soft-grip handle.
