First, I am VERY Fussy about my pans. If a pan doesn't fit perfectly flat on my cooktop, back it goes. I use a skillet almost every night and choose these deep chef's pans because you can do so much with them. This one is about 3" deep. I have used pans by Ozari, which was a good performer but the non-stick started to come off. I then went with another brand which I had never heard of, Natural Cook professionnel. This pan came from Germany and had this new German non-stick that was supposed to be great. When I got the pan, it had a very rough texture. I was immediately put off but decided to try it. I LOVED it. It lasted about a year and a half before the non-stick started to fail. Non stick pans don't last forever, personally I thought for the heavy use it did well. I tried to replace it, but Novalife no longer sells pans in the US. So, back to the hunt. Finding a good pan that will work on induction can be a bit of a challenge. I researched endlessly and kept coming back to this pan and the reviews were good. I thought I would give it a try. It was nicely packaged. Good packaging for gift giving. Upon taking the pan out of the box, I noticed it had a good weight to it and has the helper handle. The exterior finish is a dark almost anodized look and the bottom has a slight rough texture. The interior is slick. very slick and the finish looks almost like automotive paint. Looks like it has metal flake in it. The finish appeared to be well applied and it was applied over the rivets inside the pan. I like to see that. The lid fits well, one thing I thought was odd is that it doesn't have a vent hole. That doesn't bother me, because half the time I am wanting to keep the steam in (cooking rice, frying eggs). I then sat it on the stove and it sat perfectly flat. I couldn't wait for supper time. It performed as good as it looks. One thing it beat the others, when I put the oil in the pan, it didn't all run toward the edge of the pan so the bottom inside is also flat. I prepared a stir fry which began with browning cubed pork chops. Flawless. Not a thing stuck and the cubes browned beautifully. Then finished up the stir fry and the pan basically wiped clean. Of course this is the first use, so I will come back from time to time to update on it's life because like you probably do, I rely heavily on reviews. Like I said, it's my most heavily used pan and gets used almost daily. From first impression, I say buy one. I am glad I did. It also has a small pamphlet on how to take care of it. Biggest way to damage a non-stick pan is to overheat it. They claim you can use metal utensils but there is no way. Olive wood or Bamboo is all I use and occasionally silicone.UPDATE: 1-15-19. New picture added. Pan is being used nearly daily and still looks like brand new. Non stick works as well as it did on day one. The picture showing the lid was when I got it, the picture without I just added. Very nice pan!

We use this pan everyday and have not had any problems with it at all. We’ve have it for a few months now and still looks brand new! It is truly nonstick and cleanup is a breeze!

This is the best pan I've ever had.

This pan is amazing. Pan arrived in open box status. Wonderful condition. Best pan I’ve ever owned. Would recommend to any and everyone. I love the way my eggs don’t stick.

Bought a skillet about a year ago for a test run after finding this on Americas Test Kitchen. Pans are so easy to clean whether its burnt on cheese or proteins. Ended up buying all the pans we would need in this line. Seem very sturdy and have held up very well.

Love the size, heats up well, and it really is easy to clean. I’ve been using it a couple of times a week for almost two months. I have fried chicken it it, cooked hamburgers, curry, taco meat. All of it has cleaned up easily with just a soapy sponge. My only complaint that you might be able to see in the picture is that it is chipping around the rim. I have never placed any other pans inside it, so maybe the lid causes it? I still love it though. Just hope the chips confine themselves to the rim.

This is an excellent pan and I wish I still had it! No manufacturing process is perfect, and a few defects are bound to occur among even the best products, so I was not upset when I realized that my pan needed to be replaced under warranty. That's what warranties are for. Green Pan's customer service was ok. They responded quickly and the process was not very complicated. However, instead of replacing my pan, they sent me a different (less expensive) pan of the same size. I purchased this sauté pan because I needed a sauté pan. They sent me some kind of weird mash-up of a stunted dutch oven and a frying pan. It is certainly no substitute for a sauté pan. There was no choice and no option for a refund instead of this bizarre thing that I have no use for. I love my other pans from Green Pan, but I will not purchase from them again because, in effect, there is no warranty. Great product if you don't mind taking your chances.

I spent a lot of time researching ceramic pans; I finally decided on the Valencia Pro and I couldn't be happier.It has been easy to clean; it feels substantial but not heavy to lift. I'm very pleased and will be buying other sizes in the Valencia Pro line.

Great pan for frying or sautéing. Great in the oven. Love this pan. Works great on my induction hob so ignore the reviews that say it doesn't. Cooks bacon, eggs, steak, chicken or dishes started am and finished in the oven. Best pan I have owned. Greenpan thank you. Recommended highly.

To be very fair, great pan, however it was warped, so I returned it via Amazon and they have replaced it. Collection came before the new pan arrived so no box to send it back in. Amazon issue not a pan issue I think.

GreenPan are the best you can buy; they clean up a treat and don't bow in the middle.Highly recommend these pans to all!!

I use this pan on an induction stove. It is barely compatible with the induction stove as I have to use 2 to 3 times the amount of power to heat the pan as I would with stainless steel. It also reaches a very low temperature so that if you try to cook meat it boils and does not approach anything hotter than that. I would not recommend this pan for anyone with induction.REVISION: Although I still think this is not a great pan for induction, the service from this company is the best...immediately they addressed my issue and supplied me.....free of charge I might add....another pan. Their service is excellent and for this reason I am changing my review to a 5 star...thank you green pan....you will absolutely get more orders from me....

Very good for heat distribution but the non stick has worn off after 3 months even with seasoning.
