Horse with no name.

Back in the early 90's I had my first experience with T-Fal. At that time, for whatever marketing reason, I thought of T-Fal as some lesser brand of cookware. I like expensive brand name cookware as much as the next person, but, when I asked a friend what they wanted for a bday present, they said a set of T-Fal. Ok, well, I'd have bought you AllClad if you'd have asked, but if that's what you want.After paying a little bit of nothing, then seeing the stuff in person, I thought, wow, I am gonna get another set for myself. This is nice stuff. So I did. And, with it being inexpensive and all, I used it really hard, like I didn't care if I had to replace it. I also overheated my 10" skillet about as often as a pan can possibly be overheated.Now, I'll admit, after almost 20 years, the non-stick coating in several of the pans is not very non-stick any more. But, none of it is missing! No holes in the surface and all that stuff in my food.In spite of the insane temps I've used the pans at, none of them have warped even a little bit. They are as flat as a pancake. I feel bad getting rid of my old trusty 10" skillet, but, its replacement is here. I bought the 8" thinking it would be a nice omelet pan but in truth, it's a bit too small for that. Nice pan, but, too small.My 8" skillet didn't seem to work real well as an egg pan when I first got it. Eggs seemed to stick pretty good, and clearly I expected better. After frying something in it using coconut oil, it immediately became the non-stick pan I thought it would be. This new 10" pan I broke in by boiling a shallow pool of water, then pouring that out and "seasoning" the pan with a good rub of coconut oil while over the heat. My first French omelet from this pan slid around like it was on an air cushion. Wonderful.This pan feels like a nicer quality pan than my 19 year old one. Though that one still looks nice, the balance of this one is nicer and the handle feels more sturdy. Not that it needed to be since that one isn't loose now. This one is also oven safe while the old one was not. The aluminum on the bottom of this is uncoated, where the old one I had was enameled. I use gas, and that one has needed the black crud cleaned off many times in the past. It cleans right up with ez-off, and I expect this one to also.Overall, I'd say these are the nicest non-stick pan you can get at any price. Cooks Illustrated seems to feel the same way. When you hold this pan in your hand, it'll feel like a pan of 5x the price. And, if it lasts like my last one, it's worth 5x the price. If you're a person who loves quality cookware, consider putting a few pieces of T-Fal in your collection. It'll fit right in with others you spent a mortgage payment on.PS. Their electric teakettle is amazing too.

Great pans. Not too heavy and they transfer the heat well.

I just bought a second one of these after five years of using it daily - sometimes three times a day. The first one held up extremely well. I love the non-stick coating on the outside - the pan doesn't get so nasty looking if one is, like me, disinclined to scrub that exterior every time one uses it. The only negative is that it was ever so slightly domed at the center so my eggs, oil, whatever would run to the edges - but I still loved that pan. My newest one doesn't have this problem.I find this to be an outstanding non-stick pan for frying perfect "over easy" eggs, omelets, french toast, potstickers and reheating leftovers. That's pretty much how I use it. I am also a non-stick skillet commando. I will not let anyone use my pan without giving them a little talk on NO METAL UTENSILS IN MY NON-STICK PAN. I also rarely use soap in it, but rather wipe it out with a paper towel after a quick rinse and swipe with a plastic dish brush. But then, the unthinkable happened...I forgot to give a guest my "no metal utensils in the non-stick pan" lecture. And a knife was used in my pan. AUGHHHH! It was agony politely watching my beautiful pan enter the slippery slope to no longer nonstick-dom. But it was still working pretty well until badly burned some leftovers in it one day. Very badly burned those leftovers. Black, soot, smoke. The pan came clean, but eggs were now sticking - the unthinkable. So, I bought another one. If I hide it whenever I have company and never leave it unattended on high heat, perhaps it will last ten years!I chose this pan the first time because it was recommended by Cook's Illustrated. I chose it the second time because the first one was the best non-stick I've owned in over 30 years of using non-stick pans for daily eggs.

Needed to upgrade to induction compatible cookware. T Fal offered good value for a durable nonstick skillet with enough heft for even heating without hot spots.

This is the only pan I have no trouble frying or scrambling eggs, I literally purchased other name brand pans trying to specifically find one that I could prepare eggs in, without sticking or scorching and making a mess, thankfully due to the even heat distribution and non-stick surface this pan is easy to clean and this is the pan that performed the BEST, you can't tell by the picture but this pan has been used, still looks new, I have nothing negative to say about this pan. I should have started with this pan, on my quest to find the best pan for egg preparation, I could have saved a lot of money and time. I Do recommend this T-fal pan.

The product is well made, easy to clean, an improvement on my older frying pans. I do recommend it without restriction. I did not and do not intend to season the pan. I like the Thermo-Spot technology.

The surface is not even. Middle is higher than the edge so the cooking oil always trap at the edge.

We use these pans almost daily. You must follow the instructions and season the pan before the first use and after about every 10 washings. I also give the pan a little spray of spray oil such as Pam before every use. These pans for the $$ are very good quality and will give you about 4 yrs or so of use, before they start to deteriorate. Just remember they are not $300. a piece…….This is my second set of these pans. I needed to replace the old T-fal Professional ones and I purchased them again. Certainly would recommend them to anyone, but just remember, DO NOT subject them to HIGH heat ever...……..

Fed up with my old so-called non stick Fry pan I sought one that truly is non stick. This is brilliant and not terribly expensive either. Recommended strongly. You won't be disappointed
