5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a non-stick pan that you'll keep for life., July 24, 2004

This review is from: Berndes SignoCast Classic 13-Inch, 6-Quart Saut? Pan (Kitchen)

I have consistently been disappointed by non-stick cookware. I wanted to buy a non-stick pan for day-to-day use that would stand up for years to come. It's been only a few weeks but I have a good feeling about the berndes.

This Saute Pan is large enough to handle the biggest tasks, but adequate for smaller tasks as well (I regularly cook for only two). It distributes heat evenly and it appears to hold heat well. I was expecting the pan to be heavy, but it is very light and the extra handle allows for ease of movement when you have a great deal of food in the pan.

And did I mention non-stick. It's as good or better than any non-stick pan I've ever used. And you get a feeling that it is non stick through and through. Plus the exterior is made of the same non-stick material so clean up is a piece of cake.

It's more expensive than most non stick, teflon coated pans but it's solid. It may be cheaper than Calphalon, but I'm not impressed by Calphalon. It's not so non-stick and not as even a heater as everyone says. Maybe I've seen the wrong Calphalon, but you're probably wasting your money on it.

Give Berndes Signocast a shot. The bigger the better. I only have one, but that's all you really need. This pan shares it's cooking duties with my Sitram Magnum Pro line, a Sitram Cybernox pan and a set of Le Creuset. I don't know if I'd buy an entire set of Berndes (I'm pretty old-school in most of my cookware choices) but give one a try - you won't be disappointed.

UPDATE:
After a year and a half it's still going strong. Even the sides (which scrape up against other pots, pans, & utensils) still appear perfect, in terms of the non-stick coating. I will never again buy a non-stick pan that isn't made by Berndes.

I love this pan. It is expensive but the best pan for me. It is quite large and the non-stick surface is so smooth, both inside and out, and no sign of wear after about a year of use so far. Very nicely made. A good investment.
