Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With lovely fleur-de-lys detail at its handles' rivet points and a thick aluminum base capped in copper for fast, uniform heat distribution, this slope-sided, 12-inch skillet is gorgeous to behold and splendid to cook with. Because it's deep the skillet can be used for stir-frying, and because it's safe to 500 degrees F, it can go into the oven for pan-roasting. It has hand-polished cast-stainless-steel handles (including a helper handle) that are double-riveted for strength, with stainless-steel caps over the rivets for added durability. The long handle has a hole to facilitate storing on hook or peg. The skillet is dishwasher-safe and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings..., July 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Farberware Millennium Stainless Copper Clad 12-Inch Skillet with Helper Handle (Kitchen)

It's a gorgeous skillet and the bottom is larger than other 12" skillets I've seen or used. You can easily cook several servings at once. Unlike the 3-ply competitors, this has a thick aluminum/copper bottom. Unfortunately, this takes forever to heat up or to respond to gas changes. Combined with a skinny handle, it is very bottom-heavy and not well balanced--difficult to handle, especially when wet. Mirror finish exterior is easy to clean, but the copper bottom will look ratty unless you make effort to polish it. Finally, the stainless interior is of the stick variety. I'm surprised to see the review that says it can be used for stir-frying. It's way too shallow. Use a wok. Overall, it is a nice looking pan that is generously sized, but not as easy to use as I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this pan, December 9, 2003

This is by far my favorite pan. The copper bottom distributes the heat evenly, the cooking area is huge, the steel cleans easily, and the helper hand provides secure control and is never hot.
