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.

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.

I give this a five star because of the great value for the low price of $19.99. I didn't notice from the Amazon picture, but this is a very SHALLOW pan, useful for things like eggs, French toast or pancakes. But it's a little too shallow for sauteeing or doing anything requiring a lot of stirring. But I wouldn't use a non-stick pan for sauteeing anyway because you need a little "stick" for onions and vegetables to brown. I have owned multiple cheap Teflon pans and T-Fal is by far the best. Everthing slides off. You can skip the oil, or use a spray using Misto oil pump (which I bought on Amazon recently). The pan arrived very slightly dented on one side. Just a cosmetic issue; no biggie for something so cheap. The handle is put on with only one screw. The handle already was loose out of the box but I tightened it with a screwdriver. I think they could have sprung for two screws, just as a safety issue for such a large pan. I wouldn't use this pan for large quantities or heavy items so the handle isn't a big issue either. Overally, a great buy for the price.

Supermarket models are cheaper and easier to buy, but this one is better at not sticking and lasts longer than competitors. Gotta love it!

The pan which is shown in the picture is not the pans which were sent. There was no red spot in the middle of the pan. The handle was different. There are no rivets in the pan in the picture. There are rivets in the pans which were sent. Because the merchandise was not as promised, we will not order through Amazon again.

I got this pan to replace my cuisinart non-stick pan which stopped being non-stick after about 4 uses. so far (2 months in), this pan is great! i seasoned it like the instructions said, and i think its a great pan! perfect size.

This was really light and thin , not like the set i purchased at Sears. It scratches easy.

This and two other T-Fal fryers were Christmas gifts for my sister.

She absolutely loves them. She has told me repeatedly how great they are.

This saute pan exceeded my expetations. Very easy to clean up and it Cooks evenly.
