Pans are very heavy with a solid base. Will not warp. This 12" pan is massive, make sure to stretch before picking it up haha. Stays hot for a very long time after removed from the heat.

The 12” Non-Stick Aluminum-Clad Stainless Steel Fry Pan with Helper Handle is a high quality Fry Pan. Nothing sticks to the bottom and it heats evenly. The handle is firmly attached and it doesn’t get too hot. This is a Fry Pan that is made to last.

Been using for home kitchen for 5 months now. We love it. The nonstick coating is holding up very well. I have been careful to dry it each time I wash to prevent buildup of minerals from our water. It's as slick as day 1. I nicked the coating slightly with a fork so just be aware it won't put with any metal utensils (not advertised that it will, just reiterating). I'm about to order the 9.5" one because I like this one so much!

Excellent quality. We have been using two of these almost daily for six months, primarily for large batches of scrambled eggs, and they show no signs of wear. Nonstick surface is truly nonstick. The handle is a bit long for out purposes, but I imagine it would be useful if you have large commercial stoves.

I typically don't recommend products, but I absolutely love this pan. It heats evenly and holds the heat. I actually put my cast iron skillet in the cabinet. This skillet actually leaves a superior crust on my filets, pork loin or salmon. Cleanup is a breeze, while the pan is still searing I run it under water and pass a quick wet rag and the heat from the skillet dries immediately. I love this pan.

Like the 12inch fry pan I purchased my home kitchen the heat distribution is even, the pan is solid, The Excalibur coating is holding out even with some light scatches. Cleans nicely even just with hot water. Regularly used and purchased a corresponding lid.

This is a great 12" non stick fry pan. The pan cooks evenly and is durable! It is a good price for the pan and I would recommend!

These pans are great. I have a couple in two different sizes. They are definitely non stick. The long handle and helper handles are a definite plus. They don't get hot when using atop of the stove. I don't see "oven safe" in the description of these but it states that they are, up yo 550 degrees, on their packaging.

This pan has a great non-stick coating. A simple wipe out after cooking with a damp cloth and sudsy water cleans the inside up quickly and easily. The outside aluminum is easy to maintain as well as long as you do it after every use. The thick bottom really helps to heat evenly and get great sears on food. It's induction ready which is what I use it for the most. It's very durable and the non-stick finish lasts a long time. The price was great for the quality received. Great buy overall.

Solid, heavy duty pans, that can take hard use for months. We use these for frying up large batches of pan-seared greens, and proteins, and they last and last. The one annoyance I have is that the portable induction burner I use them on has a working space smaller than the pan, meaning that the control panel of the burner gets repeatedly damaged by the heat from the width of this pan. However, that's my own fault for buying an induction burner with too small a surface area. If you had a full on induction range, you should be fine.

We purchased 2 pans for our fire station one year ago and the handles broke off both pans. Unfortunately, the pans have a 90 day warranty so we are out of luck. I will try to contact Vigor directly. In the meantime, you may want to reconsider purchasing this pan.

This 14” Non-Stick Aluminum-Clad Stainless Steel Fry Pan with Handle is a great buy. Heavy weight and the helper handle is a good addition. It heats evenly and is very easy to clean. Nothing sticks to the bottom.

Gets nice and hot, easy to clean, and the helper handle is helpful! We use it with the induction cooker, and it heats up relatively even.

This is an excellent pan. It is very heavy weight and quite large. I have used it many times to pan roast veggies. It holds the heat quite well, has room for a good amount of food and cleans easily.

I liked this pan for a few weeks but I'm not sure if it wasn't seasoned properly or what but it has black stuff that doesn't scrub off and starts to smoke when heated.

Thank you for your feedback! To prevent food from sticking to your non-stick surface, we recommend lightly coating it with oil, wiping off any excess with a soft cloth or napkin. Using sprays on non-stick coatings can actually cause food to stick more readily than using a fat or oil. Sprays can leave a glue-like coating, often missed during the cleaning process, which will begin to build up and cause foods to stick. Additionally, metal utensils should not be used with non-stick surfaces to prevent scratching and damaging the coated surface.

We bought this frying pan to see if a lower price pan would be better than what we could get elsewhere. We like the way that the pan is built, the metal handle is solid and feels good in the hand. The shape of the pan is nice, deep and the sides are not too slanted providing a decent size cooking surface. Unfortunately the non-stick coating isn't very durable and the pan is ageing quickly compared to the other one we own.
