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.

I used this 5 days ago after just putting it in the cabinet. I used a stainless steel utensil. THIS is what happened. Indentions from heat! Would love a refund. ..

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 ordered this for using to fry up some things that just did not have enough volume to justify my 14" Stainless pan, and if I'm going to fry, I like Stainless Steel, I'm used to it, and I can use metal tools, which I prefer. This cold very well, with an even heat distribution, and no noticeable hot or cold spots. This is a heavy pan, because the steel is not thin like some are, it's thick enough to hold the heat. I have been using Stainless for a while now, and I find it doesn't have a big problem with food sticking to it if you preheat the pan, and always use a good oil. I have one of the oil bottles with a trigger to spray the oil onto the pan with, and that makes it very easy to make sure you have the inside of the pan well covered, including the sides without having to roll the pan around to distribute the oil. T-fal is a quality company, and anything they make can be considered a top quality product with a long lifespan. This pan works very well, and I am very happy with it, I think it is a top quality pan for a reasonable price.
