5.0 out of 5 starsNothing better than Scanpan!
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2011
This is our Third Scanpan, and we love them. Quite simply the best non-stick cookware we have found.
Let me give a quick background - After we collected All-Clad for several years, it was evident that the non-stick All-Clad was not up to the task. It began to get old and clean-up became tiresome and difficult as the All-Clad non-stick coating wore down and honestly stopped working. We also own some of the All-Clad stainless that is "supposed" to be non-stick based on heating it first, but I find that to be untrue. For pots and other cookware we still like it.
Scanpan has become our favorite cookware over the last 3 years, and the first one purchased is as clean and effective as this brand-new one. No visible wear or tear at all, and a breeze to clean up. We started with the small 8 inch, then the 10 inch, and now the 12 inch to round out our collection and replace our last All-Clad non-stick. It is all very durable and fast to heat up, giving perfect even heating across the pan. All of our pans are the CTX line, which we found to be a bit more heavy duty and well built than the cheaper line- thicker with a better handle. I can't speak to how the cheaper line may work. My only small complaint is only during clean-up - the small steel buttons where the handle is attached is a bit harder to clean, and by saying this you know we are spoiled because the rest of the pan is clean with a wipe of a paper towel or cloth, then you have to scrub the buttons for a few seconds to remove food from them. No biggie. If only they were made from the same material!
I can't say enough about these - they are all we use now. Highly recommended and well worth the extra money!
