Reviews
I got the 12" pan during the Kickstarter! I seasoned it on stovetop and then just started cooking with it, no problem at all. (In the picture you can see the before & after.) WORKING EXACTLY AS I'D HOPED! I get the non-stick like performance I want and (more importantly) the light weight.
Of course, right after the bacon, I had to try the egg test. (see video). Besides having the temp too high it worked very well.
I like it so much I got the full 3 set (giving the 12" to my brother).
While I've only cooked with it 3 times, it's worked well. First, the Strata seasoning video, which I followed exactly, worked perfectly. My first image is the first seasoning, the second image is after second seasoning. First, I cooked grilled cheese sandwiches, and it worked great. Second cook was sablefish, which did stick some. My third image is after my third cook, searing scallops with no sticking.
Still in the early stages of seasoning, but I’m getting perfect searing and mostly nonstick already. Being this is a big pan, I thought it fitting to do a fat tomahawk steak in it and it was incredible cooking it in this pan. I love it so much already, I just bought the other two sizes!
This is my new go-to for general sauteing and one-pan meals. Basically like All Clad D3 but non-stick. Very even heating, although heat retention is not the best. I use a nice heavy Demeyere SS clad for searing and this for the rest.
