Unbalanced and not flat bottomed
on April 25, 2026

The bottom has never been flat and has not worked well with a gas grate cooktop nor induction burner. Additionally, the handle weighs inordinately too much for the pan and it tips a little bit, aided by the unevenness of the bottom. This problem causes any oil or butter in the pan to accumulate in one spot, making it an uneven cooking surface. The non-flat bottom makes heating the pan take a little longer, and it also heats unevenly. This all adds up to inefficiency which one is trying to gain from using induction.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

lasting usage
on January 21, 2026
Posted by: patandkirk
after 20 years of usage,occasional misusage,the older saute pans are yet in great shape...I got older but the cookware set we bought years ago isn't aging like other pieces in the kitchen...this is the only cookware that actually sautes difficult food items like pre-cooked pasta without sticking at all...we are both in our 70's and simply can not see having any other cookware in the kitchen,especially since food costs demand not having an incedent causing waste from improper preperation.

balance problems

I bought this and it does not balance well on the stove. Love the nonstick hard anodized surface interior--washes easy--just that balance thing.

The pan I received was not manufactured correctly. It won't lay flat - tilts toward the handle.

Induction Cooking
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: Paula
Gender:Female
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 8 in fry pans does not work on my induction range top as stated. I don’t know if it’s too small or too light to conduct the heat. The larger pans do work.
I would recommend this to a friend!
