T-fal Pro Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pan with Lid 3 Quart Induction Compatible Oven Safe 500F, Lid 350F, Deep Frying Pan, Fast & Even Heat, Professional Quality, Durability, Dishwasher Safe, Silver

This skillet is an excellent value. The build, appearance, and cooking performance are excellent not just for the price, but even compared to my more expensive pans. T-fal also did a great job with packaging/shipping material. By comparison, I recently purchased a more expensive Cook's Standard pan (made in C...) and the packaging was horrendous and build quality inferior. I will be buying more from T-fal, solid brand - buy with confidence!

Quality sauce pan. Evenly heats on electric. Got it for induction.

Good product

I have a lot of various pans I use in cooking (you can never have enough!). This T-fal Pro Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pan is part of a new line of cookware from T-fal, so I was pretty excited to see how well it is made, as previous T-fal pans I've used have been pretty good. This pan has some weight to it and does not feel like a cheap thin-metal pan. It balances nicely and heating is pretty even across the pan surface. I like that the handle is riveted to the pan, no screws to loosen up or trap anything. Having a steam vent hole in the glass lid is always nice have. As it is designed to accommodate virtually all range types (gas, electric, inductive), it is quite versatile. As another review had mentioned, cooking with stainless (not non-stick) surface pans is different and you need to pay a little more attention. Simply put, you need to preheat the pan and you will need to use an oil when doing any frying as this is not a non-stick. The tip of dropping a drop of water to see if it dances on the surface is wise to use so you know the pan is ready to use. There are times that I like to use non-stick pans (cooking eggs especially), but there are also many times that I like to use stainless surface for searing meat, sautéing various items and even for sauces. Also, I don't have to worry about scratching the surface so can use all-metal whisks and cooking utensils. If you enjoy cooking, this is a nice addition to have.

I have been a huge fan of T-fal pans for more than a decade and have up until this point used their non stick pots and pans of pretty much all sizes. They have always been my go to pans. As we move away from non stick I was worried about the kinds of pans and having to deal with how to clean them, and being really difficult to clean. The first thing I noticed is that that doesnt feel like the case with these but I do need to cook a bit differently and that total non stick has made me a bit complacent and lazy in my cooking. The two main things I do differently is I now make sure I have some kind of oil or fat and I start adding food to cook when the pan is much warmer. After a couple adjustments, cleaning for the most part is not much different then the old non stick pans though you have to clean it right away. As for the pan itself it is atleast as good as the non stick t-fal it replaced though it is worth noting esp at higher temps the heat transfer seems better, which is a nice boost ontop of it being non-carcinogenic. This is now my daily pan and I really am enjoying cooking with it and there really isnt a difference in the taste!
