AmazonCommercial Tri-Ply Non-Stick Stainless Steel Fry Pan, 8 Inch

This pan isn't the best or the worst, but my other nonstick cookware is much more effective at its one job: cooking without sticking.For reference, I'm talking about cooking things like eggs with relatively low heat, using oil or butter in the pan. They still stuck. They glide across the surfaces of my other nonstick pans cooking at the same temp with the same cooking fats. And I *never* cook anything with high heat using nonstick cookware.I was also concerned because of photos other reviewers posted showing a razor-thin nonstick coating that came off after a short time. I didn't keep mine long enough to see whether that would happen.To be fair, my other cookware is also more expensive. I've had great results with Misen as well as some of Cuisinart's pans (not the lower priced ones). This measures up to other cheap pans, like those you might find at a supermarket. It has the look and feel of a higher-end piece of cookware, but not the performance.My advice: spend a little more and get what you paid for.

Have bought and been using for ~2months 8" and 10" sizes. Reasonably priced workhorse non-stick fry pans, went back and bought two more 8" which are good size for a dish for two older people not wanting to gain more weight. Pluses:* Heavy construction.* No rubber or plastic in handle, so can go in oven up to safe temperature for the nonstick coating.* Good-sized hole in handle for hanging on hooks (hole is too small in many pans).* Works quite well on induction range.Minus:* Non-stick coating seems about as delicate as on most other nonstick pans, so avoid all metal utensils or expect to replace pan in a year or so.* Handle is very heavy-weight stainless - would be good if it were a bit lighter as it is overkill and handle stays hot a long time after using pan in oven.* Handle held to pan by two rivets, to which food sticks. Doesn't seem like it would be rocket science to weld the handle on rather than have these annoying rivets.* Says "Amazon" on the handle - do you want to advertise that?

This is an outstanding non-stick skillet! Its thick tri-ply construction heats evenly and cleans up easily. I don't usually use pans with non-stick coatings, but I bought this pan for a specific purpose. We enjoy Japanese gyoza (pot stickers) which can be tricky to cook without sticking in an ordinary skillet. This pan solves that problem and works perfectly. It has a broad flat bottom that easily accommodates 18 to 20 gyoza at a time. The non-stick coating ensures the bottoms of the dumplings caramelize nicely -- without ever sticking. I am totally pleased!

I purchased this pan to replace ones that have been losing their non-stick surface. After much research, I have concluded that non-stick pans, no matter how well cared-for, will only last 5 years or so. I chose this one because I wanted the heavier steel, and the price was excellent compared to others. I will be babying it with nylon utensils and hand-washing. So far, we have been using it almost daily for over a month, and we are very pleased with its performance.

I wanted a tri-ply stainless steel nonstick pan with vertical sides to compliment my All-Clad d3 nonstick stainless set fry pan skillets. The Amazon Commercial pans fit the bill nicely. With the exception of the sides' profile the Commercials are look-alikes to the All-Clad pans. Their heating characteristics are similar, as is their balance, but the Commercials are noticeably heavier. Their 500°F oven rating is less than the ACs' 600°F but how many times do you put a pan in an over higher than 500°F? The Commercial's pan edges look like non-drip but they aren't, and I count that a drawback to a saute profile pan. The mirrored finish accentuates the drip. Not an issue if y'[re careful but a missing detail. The handles are thinner than the AC handles, requiring an adjustment when handling. But my lady friend is happy with them in her smaller hand so your mileage may vary on this point. I have a sense that the nonstick won't be as durable as the AC's but at 1/3 the cost of the AC's that's a non-issue. The other quibble I have is that the pans aren't sized well. I have Farberware glass and Nordic Ware stainless lids that fit all my other 8" and 10" pans precisely, but not as well on the Commercials. Those lids fit the Amazon Basics pans precisely so I don't understand this difference. I have universal lids that will work so I'm trying to overlook this (but the universals don't do oven duty as the Nordic Ware does). Not everyone will agree with my quibbles so in sum, I say the Amazon Commercial pans are a great buy and will do well by an owner who knows how to cook with tri-ply stainless steel. They're a good compliment to All-Clad pans, and save having to resort to anodized aluminum for a non-stick interior or knockabout pans.

Bought two months ago, used TWICE for taco filling, big scratches in non stick coating. Im a 73 year old woman who knows how to treat nonstick. My Calphalon was purchased in 2009 and just recently got tossed. This pan is getting tossed today.

Product description of "Tri-ply construction..." and the photos led me to believe it was 3 layers all the way through, no mention it was only the bottom. The side is so thin, ~ 1 mm, that it doesn't look like tri-ply, which is typically couple of mm thick. In addition, the handle in the product photos is solid but the one received is hollow. See attached photos. I thought they sent "AmazonBasic" by mistake but the bottom clearly shows "AmazonCommercial". My trust in Amazon brand took a big hit.

I've only used the frypan half a dozen times, but so far, it is a great item. I have never oiled a non-stick pan after I wash it (like the directions tell you to), but if it will keep this pan in top shape, I will continue to do so.

Very poor quality, it lasted 10 weeks of occasional use before the nonstick coating came away. As you can see from the picture, it’s as thin as paper.

The design is all wrong - maybe a man with strong hands doesnt mind but I cant hold this as the handle is too long & thin so I cant grip it - its quite heavy - even my husband agrees - so I havent tried it as its not safe. Most handles thicken up part way so they are wide enough to grip - this one doesnt and wil take advantage of the free returns - Tefal here we come !

Have a new glass hob so wanted to ensure I had the right cookware. This is a heavy little dude but is not too big so I can lift it (I have osteo-arthritis in my wrists). Easy to clean and excellent cooking results.

Purchased two months ago, used less than 10 times - non-stick peeling off.I purchased this frying pan because of the 'commercial' label...which should mean it's up for a substantial beating. But it turns out it if you just give it a light tickle with a couple of omelettes and a few runs through the dishwasher and it keels over and dies.This frying pan is far from the heavyweight it claims to be. In fact, our £12.99 frying pan from Wilkos has already survived about 100x more usage than this.A couple of further uses and the peeling is now much worse than that pictured.NOTE: When I talked to customer services I was offered a refund, but have to jump through a million hoops to make the return. Given that the product is not fit for purpose, if they insist on having it returned, you would think that would make it easy.

I bought this on a recommendation from a friend. I wanted a frying pan which could also be used in the oven, and this is ovenproof to 260C - higher than most pans. It looks well made, with a thick base which makes it rigid. So far it's performing well and is easy to clean.The key factor though, is how long the non-stick surface lasts before it becomes less efficient - and I can't comment on that yet!
