I have always wanted to try this cookware but truthfully have been too cheap! I finally got this particular pan and am in love with it! I will be expanding my collection soon I hope. For the first 2 weeks this pan was literally always on the stove. You can cook anything in it and clean up is awesome. The press helps cook meats faster than I've ever seen! Bacon goes from the fridge to crisp in literally 2 minutes! It makes awesome scambled eggs too. I cannot say enough good things about it. You have to try it to believe it!

I really like bacon but I've always had a hard time with getting it to cook evenly, that's why I purchased this pan. It really does a good job with heating evenly and the press keeps the bacon flat on the pan so the ends don't curl up and then not cook. I've also discovered that because of it's shape and non stick properties, it does a great job on french toast because you can put 4 slices in the pan at once and just like the bacon, it cooks evenly. My only complaint is that the handle on the press should have been made so that it doesn't conduct heat. After a while you have to use an oven mit to pick up the press. If the handle could be made to stay cool, I would have given it 5 stars.

I am using this about four times as often as I anticipated, sometimes with the press, which works great, and sometimes without. Amazing the versatility that the shape of the skillet provides. Heavy, but not crippling. ;) I don't think anyone would have regrets about this purchase.

I ordered all of the Rachael Ray Pans and I have to say the quality is supurb. They clean up easily and do not stick. I bought the hard anodized or something like that. You have to cook on medium heat and no higher but the outcome of what you are preparing will make you proud. Try it I'm sure you will love it as much as I do.

I have a pan set from Rachael Ray and a few others. I love them all. I will continue to buy her products. Love Love Love them. Nothing sticks to them. I have had some of them for a few years now, and they are still working like new.

We have had this set for two years now and I bought this pan for my husband 6 months ago. We have NO complaints about any of them! They clean easy (we wash them by hand) and cook evenly. An excellent value.

You just can't beat Racheal Ray cookware products. They are the best available at a price you can afford. You want go wrong buying this product.

I do a lot of bacon, with a Taylor & Ng cast iron press on a 12.5" T-Fal non-stick skillet.

It occurred to me that this RR product -- designed for just the above purpose -- might be useful to have, so I bought one.

Bad mistake!

I did my bacon (as usual, on relatively low heat, for about 45 minutes slow roast) and after washing my new RR skillet, I found the non-stick coating already deeply split and falling apart in 3 places. The cast iron press has a metal handle that will burn your hand. With all her trademark orange silicone handles, couldn't she have given one to this cast iron press? That;'s a no brainer! My old reliable Taylor & Ng press has a wooden handle.

So I just wrote this off as a bad purchase, after this single use.

Save your money. Get a high-quality T-Fal non-stick skillet and a traditional cast iron press with wooden handle.
