I have to echo all the other reviewers by saying that I have found this frying pan to be the best available anywhere on this earth for the price. Yes, it is expensive, but it cooks everything without any oil or other cooking medium without any fuss whatsoever. Not only that, but the food seems to taste better without being cooked in oil. Even the eggs have been fried without any oil, they take slightly longer to cook but appear to taste better. The only time oil is used is when fried bread is required, as this is what the pan cannot do without the assistance of oil. I was quite surprised to find that cooking without oil really gives food not only extra flavour, but more of the true flavour comes to the fore.

High quality beautiful piece of cookware to use, but for safety's sake, DO NOT HEAT IT BEYOND MEDIUM HEAT AND DO NOT USE METAL IMPLEMENTS OR SCRATCH IT AT ALL. FYI - I checked extensively with the manufacturer as to its constituent materials & recommended usage/safety precautions. I immediately clean it after use by hand (easy as it's non-stick) and store it in the original box to be sure. I wouldn't recommend placing it in the dishwasher as cutlery etc. might scratch it.Any scratches or overheating make the device emit unsafe carcinogenic chemicals (like ALL non-stick cookware)... this is even though this particular range is PFOA-free (? If I recall correctly).

I bought this as a replacement for my old and ailing Le Creuset cast iron (once non stick) 20cm frying pan ... that has seen many years of service but was looking pretty revolting.I'm writing this review based on about a month and a dozen or so uses ... ranging from fried eggs and omelette, to bacon under the grill, and meeting finishing off in the oven.The pan itself is nice and light, and with a decent length of handle is well balanced for that occasional cheffy flick ... however, that longer handle does mean that it takes up a bit more oven real estate than the old cast iron pan.As I only ever use wood or silicon utensils I've not had any issues with scratches to date, and as it is such a doddle to clean,

This is the best frying pan I have ever had. I use it nearly every day and it is as good as new since I bought it in July 2016. I use metal utensils in it but not sharp things like knives. I wash it usually by hand as it is so incredibly easy to clean. You could just wipe it with a piece of kitchen paper as nothing sticks to it!I have put it quite a few times in the dishwasher and it seems fine but you really don't need to.A great plus point for me is that it is pretty light to lift for my creaky hands. It cooks evenly and nothing has ever burnt in it. It is also PFOA free, a very important point as many other non-stick pans, when heated, emit perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is linked to thyroid disease,

I replaced my old 3-piece frying pan set with a set of Le Creuset pans in 20, 26, and 30 cm (deep). I was encouraged to do so by the glowing reviews, to which I can add my own. I was worried that they would be too heavy, but they are fine, although the deep pan 30cm one does need two hands to carry it full (there is a useful extra carry handle on this one) and tip out the contents. They are very easy to season, and to clean afterwards. I heed the advice to only use medium heat on my ceramic hob when using these pans, and have found that perfectly sufficient. On my last pans the handles were coated with non-stick as well, which deteriorated over time and went too sticky to use any more.

I'm new to spending a small fortune on kitchen equipment. I used to be the guy who bought a frying pan in the supermarket on a whim. So, putting up the cash for this was a big deal to me. I wanted something to work well with the induction hob on my cooker, and I wanted to never have to buy another frying pan again.On first use I was surprised at how good a frying pan can get. I used to think all frying pans were equal - but they're not. This one is surprisingly light and sturdy but is weighted enough to give the feel of quality. It's a little slower to heat than my cheaper pans, but when it's ready, it cooks brilliantly. I've used it for meats and vegetables and they both come out with better flavour than I've known at home.

It's been over 2.5 yeara now as of Aug 2016 since we bought this and this is is our everyday and only pan. We have cooked and heated many different foods over the year and it always performs great. We are using this with an induction cooker with rarely using high power settings. The meat/seafood sears quickly without losing any water, you can even cook/reheat pizza in it and becomes deliciously crispy.We never had a problem of sticking, usually nothing sticks, in some rare cases of well done steaks it needed a little bit more care, but it was cleaned up easily by a sponge and little bit soap.There is a slight discolouration in the middle, which is now a brownish hue, but the performance is still excellent.

Loads of reviewers have bemoaned the loss of non-stick performance after a year or so but in many cases it's clear what is going wrong - they're running them too hot. Never use these pans on maximum heat. If your dial goes to 9 (as our AEG does) never cook on more that 7 and back off from that once up to temperature. The warning sign is discolouration. If the surface shows the slightest sign of going brown you're running it too hot and the inevitable loss of performance will follow. We also never use anything more abrasive than a cloth to clean them - no not even a brush. And of course, as everyone knows, never use metal utensils but I'd go further and say stick to softer plastic or wood and even then don't use excessive force in stirring,

As with all Le Creuset, the price is high but the quality is worth it. Very solid build. Excellent non-stick surface. Grease and burnt on deposits come off really easily. Heavy, flat base sp works well on electric hobs with even heat across the pan (I have previously used cheaper non-stick pans that don't sit flat on the hob and so have highly uneven heat across the surface).When I bought this, I also invested in decent cooking utensils that would not scratch the surface. I have taken good care of my pan but light scratches are starting to appear on the surface. My point is this is not the right pan for someone who doesn't want the hassle of treating it well. Unlike Le Creuset cast iron products,

Having been disappointed with a ceramic pan which failed after a few uses, I pushed the boat out and bought one of these and, WOW, I'm so glad I did.I've used this pan many times now and each time the food slides out with no problem. I do use a little oil for cooking and after I've finished, I leave the pan to cool for a while before washing it out using a soft sponge scourer and then put a spray of oil in which I wipe out using a paper towel - very little trouble and my pan is ready to use again. The only thing I've found that does stick just a little is tomatoes but I understand this is usual - no real problem though.I unhesitatingly recommend one but use plastic or wooden utensils so as not

An excellent non stick pan, heats very evenly and nothing sticks to it.But, treat it with care. They don't like getting really hot, you might get away with it once or twice but the non stick surface eventually gives up the ghost and then everything sticks to it. Once the colour starts to turn from a gunmetal/black to dark brown the end is nigh. The instructions say low to medium heat which is enough for most things but I've pushed my luck with the heat a few times and as a result this is my second one (the previous lasted about 6 years). If you're the sort of cook that likes to flash fry steak in a smoking hot pan so it's heavily caramelised on the outside but very rare on the inside this isn't

I find this a great little pan. It is exactly as described, and comes with excellent care instructions which if followed should give good service. I have not had it that long but I find the surface easy to care for, and it performs well even with fat/oil free cooking. It is so refreshingly light after having been used to an 'old style' Le Creuset frying pan, which admittedly was larger in diameter, but was so heavy that it was almost impossible to lift and tilt with one hand. This left no hands free with which to use any tool to remove contents etc. and any attempt at this seemed qute dangerous and almost wrist dislocating!

This is by far the best frying pan I have ever used. I have now had it for a month and I use it pretty much every day. Nothing sticks to it, it is the easiest pan to clean.I really look after it though, I oil it fairly often with corn oil, and I never start it on high heat or let it smoke.It is very lightweight compared to other non-stick and oven proof pans.It distributes the heat really well, it is very hard to burn any kind of food with it, even thinly sliced garlic which burned in a span in my last pan.I highly recommend it, this is a great pan and will probably last a few years if you take good care of it.

This was the first Le Creuset non-stick frying pan I bought and, having used it now intensively for a year, I'm still impressed every single time by how well it performs frying a huge variety of food: meat (of any kind), fish, potatoes, eggs.. You name it, this pan will fry it to perfection, and thanks to the solid iron handle you can sear meat on the hob and then let it roast to perfection in the oven as well. Washing up is a doddle, all it takes is warm water, a bit of dishwasher product and a gentle scrub. My kids start salivating as soon as they see me take this pan out of the cupboard, need I say more?

My wife had 'enough is enough' moment when she had her egg scrambles stuck on 1 yr old Tefal which we used quite often. It was about right to take an action and get a decent frying pan.I went around to review numerous pans and browsed around to see if there are any value for money products to be snatched.We spotted this at one of local department store and immediately looked up on Amazon, and it turns out Amazon was had £20 off.The handle is non-plastic so can be used inside oven and this does make it very handy. I think it is a very good buy and will certainly recommend it to my friends.
