Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 8" Fry Pan

This behaves pretty much like other high-quality SS-clad aluminum pans. It heats up fairly quickly, cooks evenly, and the handle stays cool. It cleans easily if you deglaze properly. I've seen complaints about discoloration, but this is easily avoided by not overheating. Minor discoloration can be removed by cleaning with a light spray of 50% strength white vinegar.

I love this brand and so do the other cooks in my family. This stainless is easy to clean (I don't put it in the dishwasher - it cleans easily with some dish soap and a nylon scrubber) Sometimes I'll soak it if things are crusted on and it cleans right up. Cooks evenly - perfect!

It's fantastic I use it every day. Easy to clean doesn't require high heat. Total quality!

HELLO IT'S GREAT LOOKING PAN. THE ONLY PROBLEM, I ASSUMED IT WAS MADE IN FRANCE! NO MADE IN PORTUGAL, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED!!! THANKS

Perfect versatile size (10”) literally use it everyday. Non stick when warmed up correctly. Warm at med-low, do the water test, add oil/food. To clean transfer food then add water while pan is still hot, but burner off. Then when no longer piping hot or when you’re done eating, wash up. Stubborn food stuck on or burned bottoms comes off pretty easy with barkeepers friend powder (read label). If hazy cook some tomato based food or heat vinegar. Not hard when these are all basics in the kitchen. No bowing had this one for 6 months, so far so good.

Right on.

Firstly, this is Not an all-purpose toss it in the dishwasher Teflon pan. Using it requires a different technique. I use non-stick pans for omelettes but stainless or cast iron is the only thing for pan fried chicken, steak, or pork chops. Sear each side then finish in a hot oven. With very even heating, no hot spots, it is perfect for making a sauce after the meat is removed. The pan evenly distributes heat and does not deform when hot. It's a truly professional grade tool and priced accordingly. Clean thoroughly with Barkeeper's Friend, avoid the dishwasher. Treat it well and this pan will last for generations.

The pan works really well however, seems like I got a used pan. So many scratches on the outer side of the supposedly brand new pan.
