T-Fal is an excellent quality and a good buy. Nice, heavy pan and very "non-stick". Now I just have to find a lid to fit it's large size!!

The frying pan is okay but it is not as pictured. There is no red spot in the middle of the pan and the bottom is aluminum, not the easy to clean T-Fal. I probably would not have bought it if I had seen the picture of the actual frying pan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the little bit you will spend on it, July 22, 2008

First, I think expensive non-stick is a waste since the cookware has to be resurfaced or replaced once it's scratched or worn. I was looking for a super slick inner surface for not a lot of buck. The T-Fal pans were it.

The inside of the pans are very slick. They are not heavily textured like other pans. This seems counter-intuitive to me; expensive pans want to last longer so they texture their surface yet that adds more surface area for the food to stick to. As an example, I have a harder time cleaning the bottom of the pans than I do the inside.

The thickness of the pan is thin. It is thick enough to even low and medium flames but it cools very quickly.

My only complaint is the handle. Even as tight as the screw will go, two of my handles still move slightly side-to-side. It's not enough to affect cooking, but it's annoying.

Overall, I'm very happy with spending $17 for a super slick pan.
